Post and Page Builder update from version 1.20.2 to 1.21.0 broke Simple File List plugin and slowed down my site
From Mitch at Simple File List
I would ask them how to prevent their plugin from loading page content twice. In addition to breaking Simple File List, this would cause a serious performance issue for your website.From: Simple File List Support <tickets@simplefilelist.com>

I think I see the problem. The list we see on the page https://villagechurchofchrist.org/my-simple-file-list-page/ is actually the second run of the plugin. When the plugin runs multiple times on the same page, only the first run will show the upload form. Most likely what is happening is that another plugin is running the page beforehand and when renders on the screen is the second run.
Please deactivate any cache, security or optimizer plugins as these would be the most likely culprits.

I have turned off automatic update, but need to know when it is safe to update and not break my site.
BarryHi Barry, sorry to hear about the issues with Simple File List and the newest version of the Post and Page Builder.
I just ran some tests of my own and I was able to replicate the problem you described, the Upload feature works as expected when using version 1.20.2 but is mysteriously missing if 1.21.1 is installed.
I created a bug report with our developers to investigate this bug further and find a solution.
In the meantime you should be able to get Simple File List working again by reverting the Post and Page Builder back to version 1.20.2. The easiest way to do that is to use the WP Rollback plugin from the public WordPress repository. Once that plugin is installed you should see a Rollback option displayed below the Post and Page Builder in the All Plugins list and clicking that option will allow you to change the installed version back to 1.20.2.
Hopefully we will be able to get this bug fixed in an upcoming version and please let us know if you have any other questions for us!
