Preview Changes button issues
9 replies · Started by Patricia on December 7, 2015
First of all, I have to say that I am loving this theme!!
There is one little issue I've been dealing with that I have yet to be able to figure out. When I make changes to a page and want to preview before updating, I have to click the Preview Changes button two times. I click the button once, then need to wait for the "preview" page to completely refresh (although it does not yet reflect any changes, so it is not actually a preview), then upon a second click it refreshes again to display the preview of my changes.
It's not a huge deal, but as we all know, those extra 20-second chunks of wait-time can sure add up! ;)
Has anybody else experienced this? Do you have a recommendation for a fix?
Thanks!!
Hi there,
Is this happening when editing pages or in the Customizer?
Can you try #1 on this page and let me know if it still happens?: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/debugging/
Hi!
I tried deactivating the handful of non-GP plugins (on my local server, I did not try this on the live site - but I can try that too if you think it might act differently online), and still experienced the same thing:
1. Make change on a page
2. Click "preview page"
3. The "preview page" page refreshes without the changes
4. Click "preview page" a 2nd time
5. The "preview page" page refreshes and shows the changes
It happens when I'm editing the pages themselves (not in the customizer).
Thanks!!
And what about when you disable your GP plugins?
Thanks! :)
I tried disabling the Lightweight Grid Columns and Lightweight Social Icons, but to no avail.
I didn't disable the "GP Premium" plugin, since that's a huge part of my website, haha. Do you think I should try that, though?
Thanks again, for trying to help me get to the bottom of this!
If it's on your localhost then disabling GP Premium temporarily shouldn't matter, right?
If so, try just deactivating Sections - if any add-on will cause issues with this it's that one.
Let me know :)
Yes, you're right - I'm on the safety of the local server. :)
I disabled "sections," and lo-and-behold, the preview button worked great. Unfortunately, though, I've build my whole site in sections, LOL.
Do you have any advice?
I've been rebuilding Sections from scratch recently - it's getting pretty close to testing.
The rebuild should have this fixed as well as some other issues.
If you'd like to email me at support@generatepress.com, I can send you the rebuild once it's ready for testing.
Let me know :)
Thank you! I just sent an email. I really appreciate all your support and the great product!!

Thanks! I'll send you the beta when it's ready :)
