Home Page displaying blank template page “Blocks”

  • Hello World! I’ve been working a new WordPress website for my wife’s?business. I created a pretty long home page with multiple sections including videos. When I click on the page title it opens up and I can edit it.?But when I click “view page” or go to the URL if opens a blank template I created with no content. Also my “About” and “Contact” pages are showing the 404 error. This site was created all in blocks. No site builder plugin was used. I’ve played with it a few days.. can’t figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as her business site is down now. Thank you – J

    Try asking at your theme’s dedicated support so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this

    Hey jdm76,

    It sounds like there might be a few potential issues causing the problems you’re facing. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issues:

    1. Check Permalinks: Make sure your permalinks are set up correctly. In WordPress, go to Settings > Permalinks and choose a common setting like Post name. Save changes. This can often resolve 404 errors.
    2. Check Page Status: When editing your pages, make sure they are published and not in draft or private status. If a page is not published, it won’t be visible to the public.
    3. Check for Redirects: Sometimes, there might be a redirect issue. Check if there are any redirect rules in your .htaccess file or in your hosting provider’s settings.
    4. Check Page Content: Ensure that the content you’ve added to the pages is still there when you view the page. It’s possible that the content is not being saved properly. Save your changes and make sure the content is displaying in the editor.
    5. Review Theme and Template Files: Check your theme and template files to ensure they are not causing conflicts. If you have customized templates, try switching to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) temporarily to see if the issue persists. If not, there might be an issue with your theme.
    6. Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate all plugins and check if the issue is resolved. If it is, reactivate your plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin. Sometimes, plugins can interfere with the proper functioning of pages.
    7. Check .htaccess File: Incorrect configurations in the .htaccess file can lead to 404 errors. Ensure that the .htaccess file in your WordPress root directory is correctly configured.
    8. Check for Server Issues: Contact your hosting provider to check if there are any server-related issues causing the problem. They might be able to identify and fix any server configuration problems.

    By going through these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issues causing your WordPress site problems. If the issue persists, you may need to consider seeking assistance from a WordPress developer or Theme Developer.

    Best,

    Thank you @iamkenrocks. I went through you list but some of it is over my head. As a workaround I edited the page through the site edit feature. The home page is showing up but I’m still having menubar link issues with the other pages showing up as 404. I removed the menu bar for now. Will probably need to find a wordpress developer to figure this out.
