Hi,
I have some issues that will take too long for me to write, and it's easier to show on video, so I have made this 3 minute screencast: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/crfFoGVns43
Thanks for helping out.
Hi Jimi,
Could you try to clear cache and disable the cache plugin to see if it's where the conflicts coming from?
If it's still not working, could you try to disable all plugins except GP Premium and Generateblocks to eliminate conflicts from other plugins?
Let me know :)
Hi,
I had already tried all of this, even deactivating the GP plugins too, none of it worked.
Hi there,
This is quite strange. I've tried replicating the mentioned issue but I wasn't able to.
Are you using reusable blocks for these blocks? I can't confirm it properly because the UI wasn't in English but it did look like the first 2 blocks were reusable blocks.
Hi Elvin.
I am not sure. I just used a template I had created my self from another page I had made.
I have not restored a backup I made, meaning the template is now back. But I still have the same problem.
Would it help, if I gave you access to the backend ?

I think the local template used had a reusable block in it. If you edited a reusable block's content, it affects all instances of the reusable block throughout the whole site.

Yes that would definitely help in confirming things.

Hi. Yes. All my blocks are reusables.
How should I make a pagetemplate then ? Should I build it from non-resuable blocks? And how can I save this now then ? Delete the reusable blocks and keep the template ?
Thanks :)

Ah that confirms it. That's the issue.
Reusable blocks shouldn't be used as templates if their contents should be subjected to changes.
But to save your effort, you should convert the reusable blocks to regular blocks for each of the pages so they get their independence back. Here's the button to do that: https://share.getcloudapp.com/4gu2loRx
Its fixed
Thanks for letting us know. Glad you got it fixed. :D
