How do I fix "unexpected content" without losing the whole page?

I've got a completed Wordpress page with all kinds of bells and whistles that looks great, but when I went to edit it, I got this:


User generated image

The thing that has me concerned, is the way the page looks right now:


User generated imageI tried to get the scroll bar pictured so you can see this is more than a couple thousand words and it's a lot of work. So, when I encounter something that says, "...this block contains unexpected content..." and nothing is showing up afterwards, I get nervous.


On top of that, I did click on the "resolve" button, but none of my content was displayed afterwards.


Bottom line: I'm scared to death that I'm going to lose several hours of work by unwittingly clicking on a button that's going to update my page in a way that omits a bunch of content. 


How do I fix this?

Likely you'll find my comment annoying.

The problem is almost surely due to you using a Page Builder, in your case Advanced Page Builder.

Page Builder != Cashflow

They always cause problems.

The specific error above suggests... maybe... you never know with page builders... maybe... the problem relates to the dangling content...

2) Deep Dive

Open in new window


If you consider this error message, the likely cause is this text has no surrounding HTML tag, like a <p> or <div> or <li>... at least this seems to be what's being communicated by the error.

I personally avoid Page Builders like the plague... and starting point might be to click the Resolve button, then step through whatever fixes are suggested.

Hey, David!

When I click on "Resolve," I get this:


User generated image
Regardless if I click on "Convert to HTML" or "Convert to Blocks," nothing seems to change and I'm not allowed to see any more of my content.

In other words, regardless of what I do, nothing's being resolved and I can't see any of my other content.

I'm stuck!

How do I get unstuck?

Gentlemen!

I'm sorry for dragging my feet in getting back to you! It turns out I did have some bogus HTML syntax and when I fixed that, it was good to go!

Thanks!
