Grid layout broken
16 replies · Started by Daniel on March 15, 2021
Hi,
on my development website https://probus.netzspinnerei.at/ - the homepage suddenly looks broken.
It was an advanced grid layout. It worked fine until now.
There where some issues with reusable blocks before that happened. Buttons flickering in the backend when hovered... And the "publish"-button seemed to get stuck.
I deactivated all other plugins (only generate-blocks and gp-premium active) - nothing changed.
No caching in use.
Please help - the page should go live soon.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
Hi there,
can you try going to Dashboard > GenerateBlocks > Settings and hit the Regenerate CSS button.
Hi David,
unfortunately that did not work.
If you copy all the content of that page to a new page - does the layout work ?
Hi David,
it did not work!
Feel free to log in to investigate the issue - i've sent you the login data in the first post.
Best regards,
Daniel
Strange, do you have any recent errors in the error_log file on your server?
Do you mind if I install the Query Monitor plugin on your site to check a couple of things?
Hi Tom,
feel free to install the plugin!
I‘ll have a look at the error log tomorrow, since i am not near a computer right now.
Thank you!
Daniel
Hi Tom,
no errors on the server side!
Did you make progress with the Query Monitor - plugin ?
Daniel
Nothing being reported in Query Monitor.
I have a feeling it has to do with re-usable blocks, but before we go there, can you add the following to your wp-config.php file?:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );Then save and reload the page. Once you do that, check for a debug.log file in the wp-content folder of your server. Anything in there?
Hi Tom,
i did that and there is no debug.og in the content-folder.
I do have the same feeling about reusable blocks, since there was an initial problem with them on the backend.
Daniel
Is this a staging site by chance? It would be extremely helpful if I was able to get access to the server via FTP so I could add some debugging code throughout the CSS generation process so I can pinpoint where the failure is happening.
Let me know if that's possible or not :)
I made a staging site for you - i'll add the FTP credentials below.
WP-login credentials are the same.
Daniel
Awesome, super helpful!
Can you check to see if the issue is fully fixed on the staging site now?
Wow, yes it seems to be fully fixed! 👍🏻😊
Perfect. So the issue arises when an empty re-usable block is present on a page with GenerateBlocks. The empty re-usable block prevents GenerateBlocks from parsing the rest of the content.
It's fixed in 1.3.3 which we'll be releasing tomorrow.
For now, removing those empty re-usable blocks should fix the issue :)
