I got similar problems with some clients. So I made a BIG message on the edit page screen to explain more how is the process with Tailor. But to display a big message, I needed some html markup. It's why I did this pull request #38.

But maybe wp_editor should be completely hidden or hidden with an overlay and the message above.

@diogocsc -

The challenge here is that the post content (which is just simple HTML) lacks information about the layout, which is stored separately in post meta. Translating changes made within the editor into the Tailor layout is therefore no easy task.

Disabling the editor is certainly possible, but must be done carefully.

@diogocsc, @ManUtopiK -

The reason for having the editor both visible and accessible is to prevent users from being locked out of making simple content changes after having "Tailored" a post or page. Although I am still extremely hesitant to block people from core WordPress functionality (like editing posts), I understand where you are coming from here and recognise that for some developer/customer relationships this may be the best option.

I'm thinking we could have this be something that people "opt-in" to on the Settings page (but also allow developers to filter the default setting so people in your situation don't need to necessarily educate users on the topic). I see @diogocsc has made this recommendation in one of the related issues.

Happy to explore options here. Does anyone have any code we could use as a starting point for this?

@andrew-worsfold, what do you mean by enhancement? After changing a toggle content area in WP Editor and then Edited throught Tailor, WP edit is overwriten.

As for code, maybe this is a good starting point ? : https://gist.github.com/atomtigerzoo/0dd49ed9ca67ec111465 ?

Hello Andrew, can you please help me with Tailor problem?
I'm getting this message when I'm editing a page from my WP:
'' Changes made to this page within the publisher will not be displayed in Tailor. Delete layout ''
What does that mean?
I click to close it, but she insists on appearing again, what happens if I delete the layout?
Please help me.

Hi @ThiagoAlbergoni -

Tailor stores information about the layout of the page as meta data and saves the resulting HTML as post content. This way the content is just that, content, and doesn't need to be processed during a page load (there are other reasons too, which I won't get in to).

The message that you're referring to simply means that if you edit the actual post content in the editor, that's what you'll see on the front end but it will differ from the stored layout information. The next time you launch Tailor, it will use the stored layout information to build the preview (which will differ from the saved content).

I hope that makes sense.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Has this been fixed? Looks like the content (mostly text) that I added directly inside the WordPress editor is preserved in Tailor.
