PageBuilder Text Widget HTML Broke after WP 4.8 Upgrade

  • Hello,

    Are you certain that this plugin is fully compatible with WP v4.8? I followed troubleshooting protocol to rule out all plugin conflicts but my Text Widget HTML loaded correctly only after I reverted back to WP v4.7.5. With no other changes, everything was back to normal. I suspect this part of WP v4.8 to blame:

    Text-Editor JavaScript API

    With the addition of TinyMCE to the text widget in 4.8 comes a new JavaScript API for instantiating the editor after page load. This can be used to add an editor instance to any text area, and customize it with buttons and functions. Great for plugin authors!

    In short, all of my <br /> tags were converted to newlines and some, but not all, DIVs were converted to spaces.

    I am using your plugin in conjunction with the Flash Pro theme, in case that makes a difference (maybe their theme conflicts somehow?).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    After a quick search, I came across this topic talking about how issues with WP v4.8 is likely to be incompatibility with themes. So, I may have to wait for an update from Themegrill for Flash Pro.

    Specifically, this excerpt seems to apply to my issue (not directly as my problem isn’t text being wrapped but rather HTML being converted, but it sounds related):

    Text from the updated text widget is going outside the designated area.
    Your theme will need to be updated to work with the new HTML that the editor will wrap content in after the update to 4.8.

    Maybe it will help others also. ??

    Hi – I had the same issues, so I downgraded the wordpress version and pagebuilder is now working, something to do with 4.8 not being compatible with pagebuilder
    Version 2.5.8

    I downgraded to WP 4.6.6 and disabled automatic updates and its working.

    Thanks
