Hi sky4est,

Can you please tell us what options you used when replacing? A screenshot with the settings you used when replacing would be best.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you!

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ctG-vm2vxVvbxD-RB1BAFn1hoXdGhZa_/view?usp=sharing

@sky4est @sixaxis I’m also experiencing this issue when replacing a file. Beaver Builder is installed on this site as well:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/m16zcl97eumnvaryxp47f/replace-bug.png?rlkey=cj2t83h9r88we1gpd5ciwfew2&dl=0

For what its worth, it fails out in the shortpixel Replacer class (method replaceContent) while looping over the post meta from beaver builder (meta_keys _fl_builder_data and _fl_builder_draft) which is serialized. It ends up passing back corrupted serialization like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mjwlmq0zz1lt5msh4izec/Screenshot-2023-09-20-at-1.40.34-PM.png?rlkey=ruijp5fytc1pz5n46r123ct5i&dl=0

Since this is could lead to a significant amount of data loss is it possible to exclude those meta_keys from this process with a filter or anything until this issue is resolved?

Also @sky4est, I found that in beaver builder you are able to restore previous versions of the page and it will restore the modules for normal editing

• This reply was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by Nate Reist. Reason: Spelling correction and more data

@natereist thank you! I honestly would love to know how you figured that out so specifically. Thank you for the tips about the version restore. It was very good to learn that WPEngine disables this by default ??

I’m also on WP Engine using Beaver Builder and just recently started having issues when replacing media.

Same setting as above and the same corrupted data.

Is there a solution yet?

Thanks,

Hello all and thanks for raising this to our awareness. The reason why this isn’t working anymore comes from a security patch that was applied in the latest version of our plugin. In other words, when the replacement happens at the DB level, the Beaver Builder runtime isn’t loaded and because of this the class name becomes incomplete and results in the warning and the corrupted data.

While we’re working on an integration with this plugin (which depends on the BB plugin code too), you can find below a version that prevents the corruption of data, but will only do replacements by keeping the same file name. If you choose the other option, it will not update the content to avoid data loss:

https://shortpixel.com/downloads/enable-media-replace-4.1.4-DEV01.zip

Thanks for your patience while we’re trying to find a solution for this situation that doesn’t open again a potential security issue when doing the replace.

Hello again,

I believe we managed to find a solution that should work properly now with all replacement options, without jeopardizing the plugin security. Here’s where you can download a version that includes the fix:

https://shortpixel.com/downloads/enable-media-replace-4.1.4-DEV02.zip

I would appreciate your feedback on this last version, it would help us release it faster. Thank you!

Thank you @petredobrescu this plugin is a very useful one and we thank you for supporting it.

Thank you!

Confirmed fixed the issue on our testing server.

Appears to work here as well

It appears to be working with our configurations, also. Thank you,

Confirmed it works in local testing for me as well! When do you anticipate a public release of this patch?
