I just updated for 4.4 and all of elements are ´locked´…
My site is made using php - not WP!
“Can not edit this element because it is locked.”
How can I fixed it?? I can´t move any element - image, text, div - by using the lateral colum or even the selector!

I am facing the same issue. None of the solutions worked. Even it is not worked with a new blank project. WTF.

Can you please contact us at our [support email](https://pinegrow.com/contact-us/) and tell us more about the situation? (pinegrow version, operating system and so on).
Note: We will also need your project (through a dropbox link) in order to analyze what is wrong.
Thanks.

Easy… You are using “Test CMS Mode”… deactivate it … Components → Test CMS Mode
