Fix Module can't be Edited / Deleted in Visual Builder

Written by Dan Mossop

Occasionally, you might find that a module you've added to your Divi page is no longer accessible via the visual builder interface.

When the visual builder is put into wireframe mode, the page structure is displayed rather than the actual content of the modules. This means that access to the modules is no longer affected by the content of the modules / any styles applied to that content.

Once done, you can return to the regular view of the visual builder by clicking on the "Desktop" icon like so:
