Have been having a problem with Payloom 3 and Blocks 3.4.7 Yourhead are looking into it and suggested downgrading to Blocks 3.4.6: didn’t work. Can anybody recommend an alternative for Blocks for this Block/PL3 page to carry me through, while Yourhead sort it out?

Thanks,

Andrew

As I recommended here:

> Using page-blocks to import content from one page type to another is very nice – but I’m afraid the reality is that it doesn’t work with every sort of page. The more complex pages from 3rd party developers are less likely to be compatible. In those cases it’s really best to stick to the layout that the original developer intended – for something like PayLoom – where money is involved – I think that recommendation applies doubly.

For complex plugins (especially ones involving money) I would recommend using their own layout as is or using a solution specifically designed to work with a layout plugin – like a stack.
