Same here. There seems to be a bug in version 1.5 because when I reinstall v1.4, it works perfectly!
How did you reinstall v1.4?
Yeah, I don’t know how to reinstall v1.4 either. That would be great!
You can download the previous versions here https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/aqua-page-builder/developers/ and then download 1.1.4 (svn) under Other Versions. So you delete aqua-page-builder folder in yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins.
Good luck
There is a bug in a php file, you need to go to and edit
wp-content/plugins/aqua-page-builder/blocks/aq-editor-block.php
Then go to line 53 and replace
echo wpautop(do_shortcode(htmlspecialchars_decode($text)));
with
echo wpautop(do_shortcode(htmlspecialchars_decode($content)));
and it will work 🙂
I tried the solution provided by abedecain and it did not work. Any ideas besides reverting back to the previous version?
I reverted back to version 1.1.4 and the Visual Editor is now blank as well.
Is there a replacement for this plugin? It’s being used by my theme but the plugin developer seems to have abandoned it (updated last 7 months ago) and we’re getting no response on this thread.
Any luck fixing this? I tried what abedecain said and it did not work either. I replaced “text” with “content” and it still doesn’t show on the back end.
Same here allproactive. We are using “shocoon” theme. No luck with this so far.
I reverted back to 1.1.4 but the problem persisted. Has anyone had any luck fixing this or even contacting the developer?
I bought a theme that had this plugin as a requirement. This was the only time in the last 3 years or so that I didn’t build on the Divi theme. And the only problem.
Hi Folks,
I have had a similar problem.
Still not solved,
still not fixed by an update.
But there are some “work arounds”, see (which opens in a new tab);
Aqua Page Builder causes missing or broken Visual Editor – a Fix ?
5 months before this topic. Still no action.
Can anybody help towards making a new update?
See Also in this link where abedecain has contributed (opens in new tab);
Visual Editor not showing up on Front-End
Abedecain says to change the code in ;
wp-content/plugins/aqua-page-builder/blocks/aq-editor-block.php
But in
wp-content/plugins/aqua-page-builder/page-builder-pmc-shortcode.php
I notice that the blocks get called,
but there is no call made for “aq-editor-block.php”,
and “aq-editor-block.php” is not present in the blocks folder with the other blocks.
