Hi!
I made some tests and there was no strange loading when the Slider widget was not added by Page Builder. But when it was added, Page builder tried to render the sliders on the backend with no luck.
I’m currently testing a fix for this one, you could try it yourself.
Open the following file:
\wp-content\plugins\smart-slider-2\widget.php
and place the following code to the end of the file:
class NextendSmartSlider2WidgetSiteoriginPanels extends NextendSmartSlider2Widget{
public static function siteorigin_panels_widget_object($the_widget, $widget){
if(get_class($the_widget) === 'NextendSmartSlider2Widget' && is_admin()){
return new NextendSmartSlider2WidgetSiteoriginPanels();
}
return $the_widget;
}
function widget($args, $instance) {
$title = apply_filters( 'widget_title', $instance['title'] );
echo $args['before_widget'];
if ( ! empty( $title ) )
echo $args['before_title'] . $title . $args['after_title'];
echo "Smart Slider 2 - widget";
echo $args['after_widget'];
}
}
add_filter('siteorigin_panels_widget_object', 'NextendSmartSlider2WidgetSiteoriginPanels::siteorigin_panels_widget_object', 10, 2);
Then you might need to update your pages, where the slider published with Page Builder.
It could be great if you could tell me about your result with the attached code!
