 * Hello,
    I am familiar with drupal and the views module. There this is a great
   addition to wp. I installed the module and tried to make query. Everything seems
   to work. But when I save everything gets cleared and the shortcode does not have
   the query I made, but just an empty one. The query is make a table of a custom
   content type. Just showing the name and content type.
 * I have a new install with ACF and Tooltype installed.
 * Is there a way to fix this.

 * Hi sannedejong,
 * This is a problem with the method used to unserialize data coming from the database.
   See this thread for more details– [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filters-arent-kept-after-saving/#post-8493169](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filters-arent-kept-after-saving/#post-8493169)
 * I hope to have an update out by end of week that addresses this.
 * Thanks,
    Jonathan

 * The newest version (1.5.41) should resolve this problem.
 * Please let em know if you continue to have problems saving queries.

 * I am having the same issue with v1.5.41. Not only unable to save, the existing
   ones has gone blank, which is freaking me out right now. Any help would be appreciated.

 * Definitely don’t re-save any of them. I’m sure it’s only a problem with the editor.
 * Can you tell me what version of PHP you are using on your server? Also, do you
   have a lot of fields that are set to “Rewrite Output” with HTML?
 * Thanks,
    Jonathan

 * Thank you for your quick response! I am desperate 🙂
 * PHP Version 5.4.45
    No “Rewrite Output” with HTML, zero.
 * I am using it to update a web magazine every month so I have to re-save every
   end of a month. If there is any workaround, please let me know. I have to bring
   back ones missing asap since they are blank pages/blocks now.

 * Hi Hiro,
 * One more question (for now), was the editor working fine for you before the most
   recent update? As in, 1.5.40 still works okay on your site?
 * You can get the older version here if you’re not sure and want to try it out (

 * Last time I saved was on the end of November (may be Nov 28) and did work fine.
   I am going to try 1.5.40 and report back.

 * 1.5.40 works on my local sandbox so now I am going to put it on the production.
   Phew!

 * Awesome.
    I’ll find some time over the next week to work on the issue and let
   you know. In the mean time, you may want to stick w/ 1.5.40. Not sure how much
   work I can get done with the holidays on top of us (leaving town for a few days).
   Might be ~ Wed or Thurs before I can report back. Sorry for any troubles.

 * So that was it!
    Interestingly, one of the blocks I have tried to fix, when I
   brought 1.5.40 back, got madly all over the places setting wise but ones those
   which has been missing but I didn’t try to fix all came back alive when I installed
   1.5.40. This was a relief.
 * By the way, I probably should submit a separate ticket but I was wondering if
   you are aware of the Display Title field needs to be UTF-8 clean? I have to convert
   to decimal, but next time when I re-save it, it corrupts so I have to delete 
   > rewrite > convert every time I update it.

 * Hi madflute,
 * Could you try the newest version (1.5.42) on your local dev site when you get
   a moment. I believe I hope to have resolved the issue with unserialization, but
   couldn’t reproduce the error locally to be sure.
 * Also, yes if you could create a new thread for the Display Title UTF-8 issue,
   I’ll remember it next time 🙂
