Will PageBuilder upgrade/migration from v.3 to v.5 be seamless?

Asked by AverageJoe 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi There,

First, I want to say thank you so much for developing PageBuilder v.5 and listening to the needs of your clients. I have enjoyed testing the Beta versions and the RC's.

I can't seem to find the answer in the documention, so I figured I'd ask it here: will the upgrade from PageBuilder v.3 to v.5 be seamless? I have a ton of sites using v.3 still, as I was never comfortable with frontend-only editing in v.4. But I also see support for v.3 is ending in August, so I want to make sure I have everything ready to begin the migration process as soon as v.5 is stable and I can test it out.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this project!

Hi there!

Thanks you so much for your appreciation, it means a lot:)

Yes, our team trying to keep the upgrade from PageBuilder v.3 to v.5 be seamless.

You can try and check this in your test environment. Probably on your localhost with a full site backup?

Hi AverageJoe,

have also a look at my reports regarding the layout.
They have removed the outer container definition for 1380px.
Which leads to layout shifts and 25555#qa-answer-120411.
Or buttons getting smaller, missing uppercase for titles and so on, when upgrading from 3.x to 5.
I had reported these issues for the last 3 RC-Releases.
I hope the final release on 05.07.2023 fixes the issues.

If you still face the issue with the container, you can use this workaround. 

/* workaround for SPPB5 */
@media (min-width: 1380px) {
    .sppb-row-container {
        max-width:1320px
    }
}

If the other problems still exists, there is no other way then changing them by hand.
Or create a ticket and let the support do the work.

Alway test on a staging page before upgrading the live-version to a new release and do not forget to make a backup.

Have a nice day.
