Page copies keep their Elementor layout

Rekhu Builder 0.9.37 fixes copies of Elementor pages that opened empty. A duplicated page now arrives as an exact draft copy, ready to rewrite.

By Rekhu 1 min read Rekhu Builder 0.9.37

Asking Rekhu Builder to copy a page is the safe way to rework it: the copy is a draft, the live page stays as it is, and you publish when the new version is right.

What was wrong

On pages built with Elementor, the copy came out empty. Its title, template and settings were there, but Elementor showed no sections. WordPress removes one level of backslashes from what a plugin saves, and Elementor's layout is JSON full of them, so the copy's layout no longer read.

What changed

From 0.9.37, the copy is exact: every section, widget and setting of the original, in a new draft. Elementor builds the copy's styles afresh the first time it is opened. On a page of 159 widgets, the copy has all 159.

Sites update from the account as usual. Copies made with an earlier version stay empty; ask for a new copy after the update.
