I recently purchased and installed SP Page Builder on our Joomla test site to ensure everything functions correctly before applying it to our live site. However, after several hours of testing, I have encountered numerous issues that are preventing us from using the product as intended.
Issues Encountered
- Frontend Editor Redirection:
When attempting to use the frontend editor, it redirects to our homepage instead of the intended page. This issue also occurs when trying to edit articles with the frontend editor.
- Layout Bundle Issues:
When importing stock layout pages, they appear in the backend, but no images are visible. Additionally, the headers in the heading element do not change size appropriately. Screen Recording: https://app.screencast.com/aUxtsxA9c6jW4
Google Font API Errors:
Despite updating the Google Font API and it working initially, it soon began to produce errors. Screenshot: https://app.screencast.com/Ajq4m0BctvtAc
Joomla Article Integration:
Integration with Joomla articles is buggy. I tried creating an article menu, assigning it to the Cassiopeia template, and opening the article using the integration, but it still redirected to the homepage. Screen Recording: https://app.screencast.com/stwXxonKN5X9i
Steps Taken
-
Template Compatibility: Switched to the default Cassiopeia template, where the frontend editor worked correctly. However, I need to retain our current JA Sensei template from Joomlart. Screen Recording: https://app.screencast.com/ceR2uChQgTNoQ
-
Disabled Extensions: Disabled 4SEF and Admin Tools to rule out conflicts, but the issue persists.
Additional Concerns
-
Backend Editor Visibility: While using the Atum backend template, adjustments made with SP Page Builder are not visible in real-time unless switched to the frontend editor.
-
Editing Layout Bundle: Unable to change H1 tags in the layout bundle; they are unresponsive. Screen Recording: https://app.screencast.com/DA9wkUX21J9TH
Request for Solutions
-
Template Conflict Resolution: Is there a known conflict between SP Page Builder and the JA Sensei template? If so, what steps can be taken to resolve this without changing our default template?
-
Template-specific Page Settings: Is there a way to redirect all SP Page Builder pages to use a separate template specifically for editing purposes? If yes, please provide guidance on how to configure this.
-
Visibility of Changes: Why are changes not visible in real-time in the backend editor with the Atum template? Is this functionality restricted to the frontend editor only?
We hope you understand our position and will process solution promptly.
