Switching from Classic Editor to Swift Page Builder

[manofmany]

Hi,

I’m trying to past some long code into the classic text editor and then switch over to the Swift Page Builder to edit the post.

The code I’m pasting in is as follows:

[spb_row wrap_type="content-width" parallax_image_height="content-height" parallax_image_movement="fixed" parallax_image_speed="0.5" bg_video_loop="yes" parallax_video_height="window-height" parallax_video_overlay="none" row_overlay_opacity="0" vertical_center="true" width="1/1" el_position="first last"] [spb_text_block animation="none" animation_delay="0" padding_vertical="0" padding_horizontal="0" width="1/3" el_position="first"]
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/1GD1KIl" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-39385" src="http://manofmany.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/samsung.jpg" alt="samsung" width="750" height="500" /></a></p>

<h4 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://amzn.to/1GD1KIl" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge</a></h4>
[/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation="none" animation_delay="0" padding_vertical="0" padding_horizontal="0" width="1/3"]

When I switch from the Classic Editor to the Swiftpage builder everything appears fine but when I go to save the post, it automatically switches back to the classic editor. The issue is that my posts no longer display full width in the classic editor or as a “standard post” rather than the full width “swift page builder posts”.

I believe it has something to do with the meta tag that is showing the swiftpage builder status as not active but I’m not sure.

I need to be able to paste in this code as it will save us hours or formatting for our christmas gift guides.

Any help is very much appreciated

Kind regards,
Scott

Hi,

But the code you pasted is disappearing after saving?
Can you provide admin access?

Further,

I can’t seem to get the post to stay with no-sidebars when I past in code in the classic editor and switch back to the swiftpage builder.

Kind regards,
SCott

Hi,

Try to deactivate all plugins except SwiftFramework because it could exist a plugin conflict.
Will need the admin credentials.

Hi Rui,

The code I have pasted is not disappearing. It is the fact that the post is not saving as a “swift page builder post” that is the problem. As it is switching back to a classic page view when we save the post, it means that the width of the post isn’t correct and we’re having issues with removing the sidebars. The code is all still there and appears fine but when we save the post is when it will switch to the classic editor and also mess up the display/width of the post when we preview it.

I’ve managed to fix the problem if I follow the following steps: (1) Create a new post (2) switch to the Swift Page Builder editor (3) insert a text box (4) save the post as a draft (5) switch to the classic editor > text mode (6) Paste the code in beneath the text box (7) switch back to the Swift Page Builder Editor.

I think it appears to recognise the post as a “swift page builder post” if we save it as so first off before pasting in any code to the Classic editor, but surely this shouldn’t be the case?

There’s no conflict with a plugin.

Kind regards,
Scott

Hi,

Can you create a test post where this situation happens so I can have a look?
Will need the admin access.

Hi,

I tried that test post and it worked fine.
Not sure what can be done if I can’t replicated.

Let us know it it happens again so we can try to replicate it and check for any error.

Hi Scott,

When you copy in that code in the ‘Text’ tab, can you confirm you are then clicking the ‘Visual’ tab, then the ‘Swift Page Builder’ blue button before saving?

Hi David,

I think that might have been it as it was working for me as well. I should just leave it in the text editor when switching over.

Cheers,
Scott

No problem
