why, when i use visual editor and click preview changes, does it wipe out the other visual editor work I have done. it does this more than half the time and I spend needless time going back to a previous edit and starting over.
an example: i had a visual editor image I changed to transparent above my content boxes which also were visual editor. Now my content boxes do not show. I did this endless cycle yesterday and do not want to do it anymore. This is the premium vantage theme by the way.
Any suggestions? thanks

Hi Dave
Thanks for running Vantage.
It’s unfortunately not possible to edit Page Builder content in the Visual or Text tabs. On a given page or post you need to choose to either work in the regular tabs or work in Page Builder. Content currently gets copied across so plugins can make use of it if necessary. We agree that there needs to be a warning to prevent what you’ve described, it’s something we have logged on our side and will address moving forward. Apologies for the hassle.
To get a text editor with items like “Bold” and “Add Link” etc within Page Builder first install this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/
Then within Page Builder insert the Visual Editor widget.
Andrew, I posted this a couple of days ago on the support forum. No answer even thought those who posted after me got answers. I am setting here with a crappy looking website. Please respond so I can fix it.
“I have been reading your posts on removing the page title in the vantage Premium. My poking around suggests that I can either have a side bar by going to default template with the page title, or the Page Builder template with no sidebar. When I go to “***-no title” I remove the page title but lose the sidebar.
The side bar is important to me. Would another theme be in order?
Nothing I can do removes the search box.
Thanks, dave”
Sorry about that Dave. Vantage is indeed missing a page template that would keep the sidebar but remove the page title. I can resolve this with Custom CSS though.
To remove all of the page titles on all pages running the Default template you’d paste this under Appearance > Custom CSS:
article.page .entry-header h1.entry-title { display: none; }To get more specific, to remove the page title from a few pages in particular we’ll need the body class of the page concerned. If you’ve never used your web browser’s developer tool, please check this video here: https://siteorigin.com/basics/modifying-theme-design-with-custom-css/. Using that tool is the quickest way to inspect a page’s source code.
Each page has a unique class in the body tag. Sometimes it’s a word, like “blog” or “home” but mostly it’ll look something like this:
That’s the page class from this page here: http://demo.siteorigin.com/vantage/page-builder/. Can you see it in the body tag?
So to hide the page title on that page, we’d insert into Custom CSS:
.page-id-14 article.page .entry-header h1.entry-title { display: none; }Not the starting period, that means class and is required.
Dave,
I am my team are new to WordPress but we are getting good. So, let me tell you in simple terms what I know on Sidebars. First, you should be looking at plugins for lots of stuff. We wanted to have custom sidebars and to be apply to apply them to any page. In your example, you’d want to magically just apply a sidebar to the no title page.
So, we found a plugin called WooSidebars https://wordpress.org/plugins/woosidebars/. Free of course. It allowed us to create a couple custom Sidebars. You create a “Widget Area” for your Sidebar and target it – like take this special Sidebar and apply it to my no title page. Then, you go to your Widgets and add the widgets you want to it.
Hope it helps.
