SOLVED: Changes made in editor are not reflected in builder until refresh

See this video for an example: https://imgur.com/a/Cto8lq1

Basically as you can see in the video I am attempting to change the row gap. But when I change it nothing happens. However if I save and refresh, you can see the changes I made. This just started happening today.

I already tried disabling all plugins except bricks and it still happens. Re-installed everything and made sure I was up to date.

Hello @Lyndon and welcome to the forum :partying_face:

Do you remember what you were working on, before this stopped updating it live? Also, some other things to consider:

  • Can you check if there are any broken classes or variables?
  • When you change a gap, save the page, and check on frontend, does it work?
  • Do you have a custom CSS somewhere, that could broke this?
  • Is this not working on any page, or only on this one? Can you try to disable all templates as well?

If it still does not work with only Bricks installed and active, then you can send temporary login credentials to your test/staging website and a link to this topic to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase, so we can take a look?

Best regards,
Matej

I should mention that while I showed gap in the video, the issue is happening with other css changes too.

I do think I’ve found part of the issue. If I copy and paste a section from one page to another, the copied section is the section that shows this behaviour. If I change the copied section ID to something else then preview changes are restored.

Can you copy-paste the section here, so I check it locally?

Here is the section:

Its also showing the padding/margin adjustments in weird locations

It looks like Im having lots of issues on pages using my “single page” template. Pages/templates not using this template seem to be fine.

this is my wireframe for the page template. Am I doing something wrong on this template?

Hi @Lyndon,

when you are pasting content into the forum, you need to wrap it in to the preformatted text (code block), otherwise it’s not usable.

However, you said that you have a lot of issues with the template, I suggest you list and describe how to replicate all issues - or you can record a video with voice for each of them, and you send temporary login credentials to your test/staging website and a link to this topic to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase, so we can have a look?

Thanks,
Matej

Here’s a more detailed video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwK79Z1vgX4

I will send you a login to check.

Thanks,

we identified the issue, and it will be resolved in the next version. We already have a fix prepared locally.

Thank you,
Matej
