* Hi,
* I am updating my DrawIt plugin to support front-end editing plugins like Beaver
Builder, but I have notice one shortcoming with how Beaver Builder stores the
source code. After an image is added via Beaver Builder, switching back to the
normal backend editor does not preserve the typical “wp-image-#” class name for
the images that were added. This is important for image-editing based plugins
that rely on using that image id # in the class name for source identification/
editing purposes. It seems that the desired behavior should be at a minimum to
preserver that class name. I know that the class name is getting preserved on
the Beaver Builder side of things, because if I open it back up via your plugin’s
front-end editor, then the class name is there. It seems to just be something
to do with when publishing the content that is gets removed by your plugin for
the backend.
* For example, when adding an image in Beaver Builder, then changing back to the
backend editor, this is the img code:
* `
`
* When I open it up in your front-end editor, then I get what I would have expected
in the backend editor:

* Thanks for the feedback! That seems like something we can get fixed. Can you
tell me, is this happening with the photo module or images added via the text
editor in Beaver Builder?

* I had only tried with the text editor before, but I just tried the photo module
and it happens there also. However, the difference with the photo module is that
it provides a place for the user to specify what the class should be in the “
Advanced” tab (but by default that field is blank). Perhaps that class field
in that “Advanced” tab should be pre-populated with the wp-image-## class that
typically would be associated with the image. Thanks!

* Thanks for the follow up! I’ll go ahead and open a ticket regarding this so we
can get it looked at. I’ll post back here when we have something for you.
