Using Custom Home Page editor makes background images disappear

My home page uses several rows with tiled and cover background images. When I use the Custom Home Page editor (Appearance > Home Page), all of the background images disappear. Every row with a background image loses the image.

I have to avoid using the editor, and edit the Home page as a page. Is there a way to remove this editor? I don’t want my client to use this feature, until the but is fixed.

I’m using a child-theme of the Vantage theme

Thank you,

    Hi Krousen56

    Would it be possible for you to send me an export for this widget so I can run a few local tests? To do this open up the page with the widget and click layout. Then click import / export and then click download. Please upload the export to a 3rd party file hosting site such as teknik.io.

    Also, do you have a public URL where we can take a look? If you need to keep this URL private from other users, just select “Private Reply” on the bottom right of the comment box.

    To disable the custom homepage please add the following PHP to your child theme functions.php:

    function disable_so_home_page( $settings ) {
    	$settings['home-page'] = false;
    
    	return $settings;
    }
    add_filter( 'siteorigin_panels_settings', 'disable_so_home_page' );

    Hi Krousen56,

    I don’t seem to have gotten the email yet (you’ll get notified of when I do). Could you set and send me the login details? Sorry about this!

    Hi Alex S,

    Is it safe to delete the beta site, or do you still need it?
