Menu in Editor horizontal and not working properly

Hello,

I am having a strange problem - the menu in the page builder editor is displayed horizontal (see image below) and I cant select the items (e.g. duplicate or delete). It worked properly so far… but this issue started today. Any idea what this can be?

Thanks for your help!

BB Issue - Menu

hm… sorry… must have been early in the morning… the menu displayed is vertical (instead of horizontal as it always has been) … and not working properly :slight_smile:

Hey Michael,

Welcome to the BB forums! :slight_smile:

That would be caused by a styling issue possibly from your theme. Also, it looks like you’re running an older version of the plugin. Do you mind sharing temp admin access to the site so we can take a look? You can just post it here using the private reply option below.

Hey Michael,

It seems the markup for the button has been broken. Could you try a few things? Could you update the plugin to the latest version? If you’re having the same problem after that go ahead and deactivate all plugins except BB and see if you get the same thing. Let us know how it goes!

Ben

Thanks ben.

I am running BB Standard v 1.6.3.2… is this the latest? if not, where can I find an update? There is no update offered via the system.

With regards to the deactivation of plugins… I haven`t thought of this… but the latest two plugins I installed where the Ginger EU Cookie Law and the Ginger Tools Installer. When I deactivate these two, BB works fine. Needless to say that I need them… and to switch them off when doing some editing is not really the best option. Do you have any better idea how to solve this?

Thanks again for your help

Michael

Hey Michael,

The latest version is 1.6.4.1. You can check the Change Logs for more info too. You need to place your license under Settings > Page Builder > License for the updates to become available.

Are both of the plugins causing the issue? It might be just one. Could you try leaving one on then use BB? Then try the other? It’s most likely a compatibility issue with how BB works. I could file a bug report if we know which plugin it is.

Ben

Thanks Ben. I re-entered the license info… and it did now update to 1.6.4.1. Unfortunately, the problem is still there.

The Ginger - Tools Installer requires the EU Cookie Law to be loaded… so I could only deactivate the Tools Installer. And everything works fine without it. So it looks like the Tools Installer is causing the issue - unfortunately, it is needed as it deals with “Multilanguage” and other stuff.

When it is loaded, it might do something to the character set… attached two pictures of the ending screen (when I am done with editing asking me whether I want to publish the changes, store as draft or cancel changes).

First picture without Tools Installer loaded (everything looks fine), 2nd picture with Tools installer loaded (all German Umlaute are not displayed correctly)

Hope this helps.

Thanks and ciao

Hey Michael,

Could you send us a copy of both plugins so we can do some testing? You can send it to themes [at] fastlinemedia [dot] com. I can see the EU Cookie Law plugin but it seems the Ginger Tools one is a premium. Could you also send their main website?

Ben

Hi Ben,

just send them - referred to your name and this topic. Hope this helps…
The “Ginger - Tools Installer” is not a premium piece… they call it Ginger plus on their website and is required for every add-on.

Thanks for all your help and support!

Regards,

Michael

Hey Michael,

I did try both the plugins on my local dev but I can’t seem to recreate the issue. Could you share the settings you’ve enabled on the Ginger Cookie Tools? Did you have any addon installed as well?

Ben

sure… here they are:

Maybe the issue is also with just the German installation of Wordpress?
Thanks again for all your support!

Ciao and Happy Halloween!

Hey Michael,

I tried importing the code above but I’m getting an error. Do you mind just taking a screenshot of the settings page as well as the addons page? You can post it to imgur and paste the link here.

Ben

Hi Ben,

I have uploaded screenshots here: http://imgur.com/a/p7HJi
Hope this helps!

Thanks and ciao

Michael

Hey Michael,

Looks like the issue is happening only when you enable the Cache System option. I’d suggest leaving it off, as well as any other caching plugins you have installed, while actively developing the site. They tend to cause irregularities with the builder being on the frontend.

Ben

Thanks Ben. Sorry for late response - this really made the trick :slight_smile:
Great support!

Ciao

Michael

No worries! Enjoy BB! :slight_smile:
