Bricks Builder Not Saving

Bricks Builder Not Saving? Troubleshooting Guide

Encountering issues with Bricks Builder not saving your progress can be incredibly frustrating. Don't panic! This guide provides a structured approach to diagnose and resolve the problem, ensuring your hard work isn't lost.

Common Causes and Solutions

Several factors can contribute to saving failures. Let's explore the most common culprits and their respective fixes:

• Server Resources: Bricks Builder, especially with complex designs, can be resource-intensive. Insufficient PHP memory limit (ideally 256MB or higher), low max execution time (aim for at least 60 seconds), and limited server resources can all lead to saving errors. Contact your hosting provider to increase these limits.
• Plugin Conflicts: Other plugins might interfere with Bricks' functionality. Deactivate all plugins except Bricks and Bricks Child (if you're using one). Then, reactivate them one by one, checking after each activation to see if the saving issue reappears. This helps identify the conflicting plugin.
• Browser Issues: Sometimes, the problem lies within your browser. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Alternatively, try using a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to see if the saving issue persists.
• Caching Problems: Caching plugins and server-side caching can sometimes prevent Bricks from saving correctly. Clear all caches (plugin cache, server cache, and CDN cache) before attempting to save again.
• Bricks Version: Ensure you're running the latest version of Bricks Builder. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements. Check for updates in your WordPress dashboard under "Updates."

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps

If the basic solutions don't resolve the problem, consider these more advanced steps:

1. Check the Browser Console: Open your browser's developer console (usually by pressing F12). Look for any JavaScript errors that might be preventing the save function from executing. These errors often provide clues about the underlying cause.
2. Increase WordPress Memory Limit: While your hosting provider can increase PHP memory, you can also try increasing the WordPress memory limit by adding the following line to your `wp-config.php` file, just before the `/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */` line: `
   define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
3. Database Issues: In rare cases, database problems can interfere with saving. Use a plugin like WP-Optimize to clean and optimize your database.
4. Contact Bricks Support: If all else fails, reach out to Bricks Builder's official support channels. They can provide personalized assistance and investigate potential bugs. Provide them with detailed information about your setup, including your WordPress version, PHP version, Bricks version, and any error messages you've encountered.

By systematically working through these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing Bricks Builder from saving your work.
