SP Page Builder 4 impossible to work!

Same here! v4 is awful and useless. I always talked about how SP Page Builder is better than WP Elementor just because of the backed editor and you ruined it.

I was testing it on the Logistic Layout bundle, and couldn't create a text block under animated numbers! Ridicules!!! That was all possible on the backend version. You should really consider making it better not worst!

If I must use a useless page builder I would then switch to WP and use Elementor at least it has much more addons.

I just received an email that my subscription is expiring and for the first time, I'm considering not extending it, after 6 years. If you are trying to shut down your company then excellent job, if not, try to consider your consumer and community suggestions.

Hi all, I want to add my voice to this mailchain. I've been using SPPB Pro 3.X for a long time and was very happy with the mixed possible to do both backend and frontend based editing.

I started up my first project in SPPB 4. It is a disappointent and time waste so far... The structured backend editing has gone, importing prebuilt layout blocks does not work properly,....

I'll restart my project in SPPB 3 and truly hope that Joomshaper listen to its customers, fix the SPPB 4 issues and continue to support SPPB 3 until a decent and stable version of SPPB 4 is avaible.

Hi all. Two BIG things that make me seriously think about choosing a different solution:

1- Page builder 4 looks as it is built for kids compared to the backend version of sppb 3. Please go back, the wysiwyg is fancy but worthless when building a website, it can't be the only solution. It looks like you are competing with squarespace, but your real users are web developers that like to have control over their job.
2- I can't count the months since you have promised template updates. What is the advantage of having tons of templates consisting of just fancy design when their functionality is exactly the same as in the free helix templates?

Please keep this project alive, you have done so well until joomla 4!

I don't want to sound too negative because Joomshaper has been the best editor and part of our joomla workflow for almost a decade. But v4 is horrendous.

Please just go back to the way v3 works. Like one guy said 90% of your customers are web developers, your average wix user does not touch this stuff. Just add better features to 3, like inline css editing, streamlined features and more. v4 takes sooo much effort to do simple things.

I have actually gotton quite used to V4 now, and prefer it to V3.
Improvments along the way have been great
thanks

In recent months the performance improvements have been very significant. I have found some bugs in the addons, but I notify the Joomshaper team in the hope that they will fix it.

4.0.8 was more of an escape than a release…

One more note for a next version. In SPPB3, the accordion addon allowed choosing the border in the 0px 0px 0px 0px format, but in SPPB 4, only a single value is allowed, which affects all sides. This happens in many other CSS properties of other addons as well. Maybe it's because the type of field you implemented is numeric and has only 1 value. This does not work for CSS attributes that allow specifying each side individually, as is the case with border-width which ranges from 1 to 4 values for its borders, that is, top, right, bottom and left. This was a loss from version 3 to 4 of the SPPB. It's just a contribution.

I think you just need to click the little padlock to the right above each border/padding setting. That will unlock it so you can enter single values into specific areas (i.e. left only)

@Toufiq, I'm going to share the image I sent to Anne T.

In fact, I am using this space to flag up these details that impact the optimization and efficiency of the building process that used to exist and are no longer there.

Hi @Alison, Thanks! It exists in version 3, but in SPPB4 this functionality no longer exists.
