How to Fix JetEngine Listings Editing Issue with Elementor on BuddyBoss

Introduction

This guide explains how can fix JetEngine listings editing issue with Elementor on BuddyBoss. You can apply a workaround to prevent this error and edit JetEngine listings with Elementor on BuddyBoss.. If you are using JetEngine and Elementor to create and edit listings on your BuddyBoss site, you may encounter the error message:

“The preview could not be loaded”

This often happens when any BuddyBoss page is set as your static homepage. The issue arises because BuddyBoss and JetEngine are not officially integrated, which can create compatibility conflicts.

Custom Workaround

2. Under Select theme to edit, choose your active theme (preferably BuddyBoss Child Theme), then click Select.
   
3. From the Theme Files list, click Theme Functions (functions.php).
   
4. Paste the following code just before the closing PHP tag (?>):
   

// Prevent listing errors with JetEngine and BuddyBoss
add_filter('bp_is_current_component', function( $is_current_component) {
    global $post;

    if ( ! $post || ! is_object( $post ) || ! isset( $post->post_type ) ) {
        return $is_current_component;
    }

    if ( $post->post_type === 'jet-engine' ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $is_current_component;
});

5. Click Update File to save your changes.
