Pro/Cornerstone will not allow modifications to be made

Support
#1

I recently upgraded a fresh wp.org site from my theme.co account. I used the new Pro theme and setup a child theme. This was not the first time I used X.

I noticed that when in the Pro customizer (or cornerstone, whatever you call it) I cannot add sections or modify existing ones.

My WP stack is built on Bitnami/AWS/EC2 which I self-manage.

My frustration is great now that I have a lot of content ready to go live and I cannot even make simple customizations to the theme that I require to get this going.

Can you assist?

my site is www.thoughtsociety.org and I can provide secure access to you with admin privs.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve, I’m not a ‘pro’ support guy or whatever, however, I have run into similar issues where I couldn’t save any amendments to the page. I wondered whether there was a small corruption on the page itself after uploading and deploying and so, I installed a plugin call ‘Duplicate Page’ (or maybe Duplicate Content), duplicated the offending pages, and viola! it fixed the issues.

May not work in your case but worth a shot and the plugin is free.

@dmuller I cannot even insert a section. When I try to drag a new section over to the content area of a page, nothing happens. It does not insert the new section.
Not a saving issue but a creation issue.

Its like the site is read-only and I am the admin.

Hi @thoughtsociety,

Thanks for reaching out.

What I noticed is your site has active PageSpeed optimization, please try turning it off first. It should be your hosting feature since it’s not a plugin. Any optimization should be applied to the production mode of a site.

Thanks!

I am guessing this is something in the BitNami stack?

I will disable PageSpeed on Bitnami and let you know if it helps.
thanks

Hi Rad,

Yes, that did it. It happens that sitespeed is implemented in the Apache configs of Bitnami. They have a how-to-disable it note in their docs. https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/jasperreports/administration/use-pagespeed/

Cacheing always seems to be the enemy of a lot of stuff on Wordpress and the X/Pro themes.

How does one implement equivalent of sitespeed on the WP plugin level? Or is it necessary at all?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Could you try updating to the latest version? On of the point releases specifically corrected a conflict with Pagespeed.

We generally avoid anything that modifies scripts on the fly since there are always risks for it to not work seamlessly. Plus, all of the scripts we include in our products are already minified so there isn’t a huge performance gain to be found. We do try to accommodate popular solutions people employ. There’s nothing wrong with using something like Pagespeed but I would advise you to take extra caution whenever running updates.

Hi Steve,

I wonder if the update to the latest version did the trick for you?
