Hi Nasir,

Do what the message says, but indeed in SPPB 3.x it was a little bit different.

  1. Create a new article,
  2. Add title of article according of your SEO needs
  3. Click SAVE (Save & Close) button
  4. Switch to SPPB Mode
  5. and Continue Content Editing etc.

Yes, You can change STATUS of article for time of edition to Unpublished to hide it from users.

Hopefully, I have simple fix: click "Save & Close" then reopen article again.


That's werid. But indeed it's bug that we have to fix.

Yes, if I "Save & Close" an article when the SP Page Builder is selected, it works for then next time when i open the same article to edit.

Having the same issue, but nothing suggested works.

New article works. Cannot get an excisting article to work.
Got the feeling it has to do with items created from the menu manager, if I create them from articles it does work.

Unfortunately same issue with the lastest update.

Hey, has somebody got a fix for this. It still exists for me under Joomla 5.1.1 and SPPB 5.3.4

Please help!!

I had the same problem. I think it was because I was keeping it unpublished while I worked on it. I fixed it by publishing the unfinished article, saving it, then reopening it.

Ideally, Page Builder would be able to edit the article without having it be published first.
