Yes the option is enabled. I have disabled it, saved. Enabled it, saved. Issue persists.
I also am using the Breakdance builder, the new industry leading builder that is also automatically SEO friendly. Is your feature compatible with Breakdance?
It is more reliable, trustworthy, secure and user friendly compared to Elementor or others.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
We are unable to replicate this issue on our local setup as that feature works for us.
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it could be caused by a conflict with one of your plugins/theme.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
