how to switch back permanently to the standard editor

  • I am upgrading above website to a responsive one using Sydney. I am making good progress, however i have one problem: somewhere during the construction I apparently changed some setting, so that any new page shows immediately the PageBuilder without the visual and the text editor. If I want to see those 2 again I have to click the ‘Revert to Editor’ link.
    For some reason I want to go back permanently to the original presentation where on new pages all 3 (visual, text and Page editor) are presented.
    Does anybody know how I can permanently switch back to the latter starting position?
    Another remark When switching from Page Buider to the standard editor a warning is presented stating: do you want to erase the Page builder content when switching to the standard visual editor? If I acknowledge I would expect that everything is erased. On a Page builder page with only text this text is still presented after the switch. Maybe this warning refers to pages which have some Page builder widgets included?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Try to access the revisions history under the editor box to see whether previous content is available in there.

    If the Revisions isn’t displayed by default, expand the Screen Options in top right of editing panel, then enable Revisions.

    Yes. Please check out my reply to this similar topic on our support forum.

    I hope this helps.

    When looking after your suggestion to enable Revisions on the screen options I found the anwer to my question: the Page builder mode only is enabled if the ‘distraction-free mode’ box is checked. Sometimes you have to refresh the page to see all modesagain.

    As far as I can conclude the warning is always showing whether or not there is a Page builder widget included. I suppose that if a widget is included (only) the widget settings will be removed. It might be a kind of safety measure.
    I don’t understand why those Page Builder settings are not copied, when switching over to the standard settings!
