Widgets Bundle Malfunctioning
Hello,
I have been using the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle on various websites I manage since 2021. I love the product, and thus far it has been very reliable. I am not sure when this problem began, but I have noticed it across all of the sites that I manage.
I am no longer able to edit or add new widgets. If I attempt to edit or add one, the form appears. I can interact with text fields and checkboxes. But I cannot open any collapsible objects (ie. the settings card, the item cards). And when I try to save the page, the wordpress page editor says “Updating Failed.”
I am not using SiteOrigin Page Builder. I am just using the WP default blocks. I am using the Panoramic theme by OutTheBox, which has always been compatible with the Widgets Bundle in the past.
The issue does not appear to be affecting the functionality of any existing widgets. But it is urgent because I am trying to build a new site (which is how I recognized the issue), and I cannot currently add any SO widgets to it. I doubt this is a plugin conflict, as the new site has very few other plugins so far. Only Yoast SEO and Akismet spam protection.
Sites affected:
www.careplacement.com (full of widgets that still function but can’t be edited)
www.openskiesnav.com (contains no widgets because they can’t be added)
Could you please direct me on what may be the issue? I am available to answer any questions. Thank you for your help.

6Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. An investigation is underway; I’ll hopefully have a beta release for you to test tomorrow. Thanks again. Andrew
Hi, sorry I don’t have a beta release for you yet. I have a lot of functionality restored via https://github.com/siteorigin/so-widgets-bundle/pull/2308 but likely need help resolving the TinyMCE issue we’re seeing in widgets like the Features Widget. That issue is logged here: https://github.com/siteorigin/so-widgets-bundle/issues/2307. Alex from SiteOrigin will lend a hand as soon as he can. We’ve been doing a lot of prep for WP 7 but somehow missed this Widget Block issue; really appreciate you letting us know! Updates to follow ASAP.
Thank you for keeping me up to date. It looks like you’re working hard on it.
Appreciate your understanding. We’ll be back with you ASAP tomorrow.
Thanks for the long wait; I’ll have a beta release for you tomorrow.
Apologies for the delay. Please, find the latest beta version here. The Features, Editor, and Image Blocks are all normal on our demo server. I’m awaiting a review from Alex here https://github.com/siteorigin/so-widgets-bundle/pull/2312 but wanted to get this working beta release to you ASAP. Thanks.
