Hello,
Newspaper 9 is great but some elements have disappeared
1) I had a widgetised sidebar made via wordpress, after the update i can’t see the sidebar on the homepage, but it is present in all the other pages
when i go to page template settings, i get this :”While using a pagebuilder sidebar settings are not available. To add a sidebar on page use the widgetised sidebar block.”

2) so I started manually recreating all the sidebar widgets in the homepage, but there is no HTML box for custom code ( i went around it using the custom ad box)

3) I’ve got third party widget for newsletter sign up that don’t work anymore on the homepage, how can I add them back?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

1/2. Some elements won’t be available in the composer if WPBakery is active. The widget sidebar and the HTML element are two of them. This was done because they may not function correctly when both composers are active. Maybe this will change, I can’t say for sure at the moment what will happen.
So as long as WPBakery is active, those elements will be removed from the composer element list can can’t be used.

3. Depends, how was it added in the page initially? try to edit the page and check if it’s still there, shouldn’t have been removed by itself.

Thanks
