    Hello,
    trying to make a div's content editable (paragraph/span).

    Each time, editing a block and going into a source code option to add «contentEditable="true" » it is deleted.
    Could you help or suggest a different solution?

    This is for a sake of a website presenting typefaces, and this option would be a good feature to have.

    Thanks!

      Dear @polczynski

      Try this! 🌝

      I have created a Text Element in the Gridder:

      With an ID - "editable" (it could be anything you wish) :

      Then Using the following jQuery: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3655156/html5-contenteditable-with-jquery

      jQuery('#editable *').attr('contenteditable','true');
      

      Now i can edit it:

      I would suggest wrapping it in a new page event and inserting it into > Lay Options > Custom CSS & HTML > Custom <Head> Content:

      <script>
          window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
       jQuery('#editable *').attr('contenteditable','true');
      
          });
      </script>

          I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
          💿 Email me here: 💿
          info@laytheme.com

          Before you post:
          1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
          2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
          3. Disable all Plugins
          4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

          This often solves issues you might run into

          When you post:
          1. Post a link to where the problem is
          2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
          3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
