hello again and thank you for your reply

I finally solved the issue after hours of testing things

I ended up switching back to php 7.4 and not the latest, switched to “hello elementor” theme, changed some elementor setting, and now templates are finally importing…

didn’t think it was going to be this complicated but for now, it is working…

thank you for your help

I also noticed, while changing to draft, I could edit again…then I publish again….

if it can help anyone,
I ended up using shortcode solution (shortcoder)… I replaced the whole section I needed to update with a shortcode, thereforce allowing me to update the block at once… made life easier than the other way around

hello again,
and thank you for your help

I tried following your tutorial and tried again (didn’t work …but I think we are almost there and getting close)

this time I did this

search for
rents secteurs : logiciel, luxe, joaillerie,
and replace by

rents secteurs : <a href="https:\/\/google-ads.virtueltime.com\/gestion-de-campagnes-google-ads-logiciel-saas">logiciel<\/a>, luxe, joaillerie,

page breaks like it used too… but I can see the link on the page
also code source looks like this when inspecting

https://ibb.co/wNbRxBm
looks like there is something weird going on with the ” ”

do you see something I can’t see ?

thanks

hello

yes duplicating solved also my issue (even though not perfect) but I can edit again at least

weird though..

Hoping some updates will solve one day the problem
thanks for your help

I am using elementor and also Elementor Header & Footer Builder (for this block)

about this “and so you might need to escape the URLs as well.” > could you tell me exactly what I should type to be sure I understand what you mean )))

about this “Could you create a test page for us (maybe a copy of that page you are editing) where you can replicate the issue with the broken page after the search/replace? This way we can inspect how the page broke.” > I could copy and paste the code source after the page breaks if you want ?

hello again, I did some new tests
this time plugin has made changes more than 700 hundreds
but page gets broken like it used to
here is screenshot
page becomes like this > https://ibb.co/1qQZkgc

here is replaced “traiteur, appli mobile, café, thé,” with “traiteur, appli mobile, café, thé,”

thank you for your help

I have tried a few things here but with not much luck….(I used to be able to replace at least text, but in this example I didn’t work….)

hello again
quick question here : is the good table to replace is wp_postmeta or wp_post ? or both ?

here I tried again replacing like I described earlier, this time page didn’t break (wondering if it is because some updates of other plugin between the two tests….)
but now, I don’t see the link being changed….like search replace didn’t do the magic….
I saw 253 cells updated and 253 updates, but no link appeared…

I tried emptying cloudflare cache to see if any changes were hidden… but still same page as before…
I could do a recording of my screen to show you If you want…I am maybe just not doing it well…but I don’t see where is my mistake…

thank you for your help

hello, same issue here (with my elementor site)

I just deactivated the plugin so that site site works again

hello again and thank you for your reply
here is an example of what I am trying to do

on a page like this one
https://google-ads.virtueltime.com/agence-google-ads-nice/
I have the same text block on all kind of pages and I had forgotten to insert links on a text block

so I want to replace
I do search for

secteurs : logiciel, luxe, joaillerie, beauté, immobilier, finance,

and replace by

secteurs : logiciel, luxe, joaillerie, beauté, <a href=”https://google-ads.virtueltime.com/gestion-de-campagnes-google-ads-secteur-immobilier/“>immobilier</a>, finance,

I have selected only the wp_postmeta table

Is there something wrong of the way I am doing it ? (I could also add the screenshot of the page after replacing, you will see that it is broken )))

from all the tests I have done, I couldn’t save the problem
I gave up…backupped everything that was possible and build the site again withouth messing the database this time….now it is working
thank again for your help : )

thank you for your help
I had already tried all the things described there but none worked, still can’t save my product page…
Unless you know a trick to “force save” the page, I guess I am just going to build the site again, luckily it is a really small site….

I tried a few things (repairing database with plugin and wordpress, deactivating and installing again elementor, etc. nothing worked)
Also : I noticed that I can still access the product page from the backoffice, I can “edit with elementor” (here some of the blocks have disappeared, not a problem though….problem is that when trying to save I get “Server Error 500”
thank you if you have any idea on how I Could solve the problem….
