I can't do a demo for remote storage
Describe the bug
Import anything that has > next to a tag with >
Example: <a href="#">></a>
Also happens like this:
<a href="#">Home</a> > <a href="#">Shop</a> >
This also breaks it...
<span class="test">Home</span> > <span class="test2">Shop</span> >
I assume that it's seeing it as doubling up the end of the tag like this > >
I can understand if there is no way to allow it. But could you at least put in some kind of filter to remove it instead of just destroying the page?

You don't need a demo for remote storage. The local and remote storage are using the same interface, which means if you're not able to reproduce with the locale storage, the problem is probably on your back-end side.
I see no issues with saving and loading back your content <img width="646" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da829381-5803-49fc-b57b-40a5b2c27208" />
Thanks for reporting this, @clonefunnels.
The issue with htmlentities > breaking remote storage - Displays undefined appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system — listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
