    Hi saun al

    Please try the instructions I left on the other thread you posted on and let us know how it goes.

    For reference, the steps to resolve this can be found here: https://siteorigin.com/troubleshooting/identifying-plugin-conflicts/.

  2. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i tried it but it didn’t do anything
    what i did last was that i entered a embed video and saved it ever since then i had this problem
    can you help me ?
    thanks

  3. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Run through this list:

    1. Is WordPress upgraded to 4.0?
    2. Is Page Builder upgraded to 1.5.3?
    3. Did you de-activate all plugins besides Page Builder at once?
    4. Try switching themes to a default theme like Twenty Fourteen and re-checking.

  4. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    1. no
    2. yes
    3.yes but it didn’t do anything
    4.i tried it too but nothing fixed it…

  5. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Are you able to access your home page via Pages > Home and then click on the Page Builder tab?

  6. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    yes but it won’t show anything i set with the plugin on there

  7. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i mean when i try to go to appeariance>home page. it stuck and i can’t see anything only the turning cyrcle
    but when i click on the edit as page option it direct me to the simple text editor of the page

  8. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Does this problem repeat if you create a new page and work in Page Builder?

  9. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Ok so to confirm, at Pages > Home you can’t see a Page Builder tab? If so, this is almost certainly a plugin conflict. Do you have:

    Comprehensive Google Maps
    CK Editor

    Installed?

    You’re positive you’ve de-activated all of your plugins and then re-checked for that tab at Pages > Home?

  10. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    no at other pages i can build with the page builder the problem is only on my home page

  11. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    it all began when i put a embed video link on the home page and then it stuck

  12. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    So from here I would create a new page and test whether you can insert that same widget again without the problem repeating. If you can then I’d create a new page, clone your old home page and then delete it. So basically re-create your home page.

  13. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    it would be great
    how can we do it?

  14. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    The top left paintbrush icon is Prebuilt layouts, you can clone from there and see if the problem occurs again with a home copy. If it doesn’t you can then assign that as your new home page from Settings > Reading. Just make the page template on that page Full Width, No Page Title or Page Builder Home.

  15. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    now i see that i can’t even do that because there is no page builder on the bar in the home page
    what can i do to return the page before it began to make the problems?

  16. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Please send through a temporary set of login details and your url through to [email protected] and we’ll take a look as soon as possible. Please include a link back to this thread in that email. Thanks.

  17. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    login details of what? my wp site?

  18. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Yes please.

  19. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok i will

  20. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i sent it… do you know when can you fix it approximately?

  21. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    I can take a look now. I unfortunately can’t say when this will be resolved though.

  22. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ohh i hope it will be asap but thanks if you can look at it maybe you can solve it quicker
    thanks and please let me know if you succeed or not, it would be great ,
    thank you again

  23. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Please update to WordPress 4.0. The issue should resolve. Thanks.

  24. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    you think this is all about the wordpress update?

  25. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    I do yes. You can run pre-WordPress 4.0 but then you’ll need to roll Page Builder back to 1.5.1.

    Update WP and all should be well.

  26. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i did it now but it didn’t solve it… i think it’s a bigger problem then this one

  27. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    I’m unfortunately unable to resolve right now. The problem is certainly unique, not one we’ve seen before. I’ll need to consult on this. We’ll come back to you as soon as possible tomorrow. We’re at GMT+2.

  28. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok then thank you very much for trying, please be in touch
    thanks

  29. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    For sure. We’ll be with you as soon as possible.

  30. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    Any news about the bug fix? I need to continue building it,
    if you can update me with this one i will be thankful

  31. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    Andrew can i get your response my friend?

  32. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Apologies for the delay Saun, I’ll be with you shortly.

  33. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    Thank you very much Andrew :)

  34. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    hello? is there anybody home?
    Andrew please update me on things i have to continue updating my site
    Please help me asap

  35. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Hi. I sent through an email in response to the login details you previously sent.

  36. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i see… ok thanks but maybe if i will show you the errors i get,
    That will be helpful to fix the problems…
    can i show you the errors i get?

  37. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    and if i choose to re-install the wordpress will it stay with the same details that i left it with?

  38. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Right now we see one Javascript error on each page/post. We’re unfortunately unable to locate the source based on this error read out. If a plugin has modified core files it is our belief that the issue will be resolved with a WordPress re-install.

  39. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    The method outlined here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-manually-update-wordpress-using-ftp/ won’t cause any data loss and involves replacing the core files.

  40. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok thank you i will try that hopefully it will help

  41. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Hope it does too. Let us know how you come along here.

  42. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i tried to re-install the version 4 of wordpress but still no change of anything…
    :/

  43. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Ok so that leaves Page Builder and Vantage. Let’s try re-installing Page Builder. Make a backup first from Tools > Export. Then delete the plugin and re-install it. Data will be restored. The backup is there just in case.

  44. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    but then all the info on my site will be lost right?

  45. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    You data will be safe. Just make a backup first as indicated above.

  46. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i did a backup now you say that i should delete the vangate and page builder plugins and re-install them again

  47. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Let’s just start with de-activating Page Builder, deleting it and then re-installing it.

  48. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    did it… still nothing new…

  49. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    And to confirm, all plugins besides Page Builder are de-activated?

    Please try switching over to a default theme like Twenty Fourteen and see if there is any change.

  50. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    before it had the bug i entered this script link on the embed video option on widgets :
    <!–
    and then it was stuck

  51. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    it won’t post here the script i put but i can try
    script type=”text/javascpt” src=”http://dailyincomenetwork.evsuite.com/player/ZXotcHJvZml0LWZvcm11bGEteW91dHViZS0x/?responsive=1&autoResponsive=1&container=evp-TC5UZ3BFQX”>

  52. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    I know you mentioned this way way back so my bad if this turns out to be the problem. Can you try posting that again, you just need to wrap it in square brackets open code tag and then square brackets close code tag. See just below the comment box.

  53. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ohh ok

    <!--<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dailyincomenetwork.evsuite.com/player/ZXotcHJvZml0LWZvcm11bGEteW91dHViZS0x/?responsive=1&autoResponsive=1&container=evp-TC5UZ3BFQX"></script><div id="evp-TC5UZ3BFQX" data-role="evp-video" data-evp-id="ZXotcHJvZml0LWZvcm11bGEteW91dHViZS0x">
  54. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    should i delete vantage theme too? or can it done differently?

  55. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    It could be possible that the lack of a closing comment tag (the comment

  56. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok Andrew i really appreciate your help

  57. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    any news Andrew?

  58. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Hi Saun. Ok, so everything looks normal except for the home page. What I’d suggest is deleting that page and rebuilding it from scratch. The video widget should be hardened against what happened but it appears the script inserted has caused a Javascript break. It looks like there might have been both an open comment and an open div inserted into the widget (the widget unfortunately isn’t built for a script to inserted – shouldn’t have broken though). So my suggestion is to just copy your written content to notepad and then re-build the home page. Everything should return to normal then.

  59. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    how can i do that?

  60. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Turn Appearance > Home Page OFF then delete the home page and the draft home page like you would a normal page from Pages >

  61. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ummm but i can’t turn it off because it’s stuck

  62. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    See if you can delete both home pages from Pages.

  63. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok i trushed it

  64. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Let me know if you need any further assistance moving forward.

  65. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    is there any option to delete the existing script that bugged the home page and it will fix this problem?

  66. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    The database entry for that page could perhaps be edited, this isn’t something I’ve done before so I can’t advise on that without a consult. We’re unfortunately short staffed at the moment so that might take some time. In light of this my recommendation would be delete and re-build the home page. It’s also a potentially safer and more straight forward fix.

  67. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    but how can i make it the home page? when i open a new page it shows me a link like this url mentorsysetms.com/home-6 i want it to be called mentorssystems.com and that’s it… how can i do that?

  68. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Create a new page, call it Home, assign the Full Width, No Page Title template. Save it. Next go to Settings > Reading and assign that page as your static home page. That should resolve the above.

  69. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok thanks man

  70. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    For sure, hope that helps.

  71. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    it did thanks :)

  72. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    Andrew can you recommend me a widget that works good with siteorigin?

  73. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    To insert that script? You could try:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-text-widget/

    Just ensure the widget is closed off properly. So if it has a comment tag around it then it must be opened and close like this:

    <!-- script here -->

    Perhaps just confirm the script content from the source.

  74. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    no i’m talking about the embed or even a youtube links

  75. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Embedded Video widget (PB) but just use the YouTuvbe or Vimeo link.

    Or use the full embed code with a widget like the Text widget.

  76. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    and any other widget will be not compatible with siteorigin?

  77. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Not really following you there. You can try any widget you’d like there. Most plugins are compatible.

  78. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ohh ok then i see what you mean…

  79. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    If you have a plugin you’d like to try just give it a go and see how it works.

  80. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ok i will hopefully it won’t make a bug again :D

  81. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    Just don’t insert scripts into anything other than the Text, Enhanced Text or Visual Editor (Black Studio) widgets.

  82. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    i have download that plugin: Black Studio TinyMCE Widget
    but i don’t know how to turn it into a video because it shows only the link i put on my site

  83. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    If you’re embedding a video with the Visual Editor widget then you’d need to insert the entire embed code provided by YouTube or similar. You can only use the video link, just the link, if you’re using the Embedded Video widget.

  84. saun al 11 years, 5 months ago

    ohhh i see…
    ok it helped a lot man thanks

  85. Andrew Misplon Staff 11 years, 5 months ago

    For sure.
