Seeming conflict with Black Studio TinyMCE Widget plugin

    I am working on a replacement website using OceanWP and Elementor. Things were going well, until suddenly the Elementor editor failed to load. I managed to get it to load most of the way, but the list of elements on the left would have an endless “loading” circular animated icon that never stopped.

    I tried disabling a bunch of plugins until it loaded. Then, I started re-enabling plugins, one at a time, until it stopped. I found that the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget seemed to be the culprit. If I enabled it, the Elementor editor elements would never finish loading; disabling it caused things to go back to normal.

    I don’t know whether others have seen this conflict, but I thought I’d let you know about it.

  • Hi and yes.
    I replaced the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget with the build in text widget of Elementor.

    To have more options in that text widget I use the Advanced tiny MCE plugin ( https://nl.www.ads-software.com/plugins/tinymce-advanced/ ) and that so far works fine with elementor.

    Unfortunately, when I try to take a page on that website that already has content from Gutenberg, and edit it using Elementor, the editor doesn’t load at all — white screen, and the small popup comes up suggesting turning on Safe Mode (doesn’t seem to help). When I have time, I’ll try disabling plugins again to see if I can find a culprit (Black Studio TinyMCE Widget is already disabled).

    Hi,

    Thing is, you should decide to use Elementor OR the Gutenburg editor, not both and certainly not on the same page.

    Gutenburg is still in his early development stage so might and will have lots of bugs.
    I disabled Gutenburg in all my websites with the “classic editor” plugin and only use Elementor to edit pages and layout.

    Using both is asking for trouble -:)

    This issue has been fixed in the latest version of Black Studio TinyMCE Widget.

    Thanks! I just installed the latest update, which mentions that it fixes a bug relating to Elementor.

    I wasn’t trying to use both Gutenberg and Elementor in the same page. Instead, I was trying to convert what was in the page from Gutenberg to Elementor. This has worked in the past, but perhaps it doesn’t work in all cases; as you say, Gutenberg is not yet fully developed (and it’s clear from lots of missing functionality that produces a lot of frustration).

    It’s not clear to me why it might be a problem with having some pages developed using Gutenberg and others using Elementor, as long as the two are kept separate in each page. Of course, there is probably always the chance of the equivalent to plug-in conflicts, I suppose.

    Have you seen any official policy statement on this from either the Gutenberg folks or the Elementor folks?

    Hi Brian,

    you should decide to use Elementor OR the Gutenburg editor, not both and certainly not on the same page.

    You can use Gutenburg and Elementor if you want to, just not in the same page.
    Once it is created in Gutenburg I would personally not switch to Elementor.

    I have tried that in the past when I was converting sites that had used Visual Composer to Elementor.

    First it seemed ok, but later all kinds of messed up pages started to appear, because if you just leave the previous code a pagebuilder ( or Gutenburg ) created, that still is there in the code and starts to conflict with the new code.

    That is why I would not use both, Elementor can do what Gutenburg does and soooooooooooooooooo much more!
