Preview pattern does not work

Hi Kieran,

As it just so happens, I noticed this yesterday too.
In my case it was caused by the WPML plugin I was testing with.

BlockMeister checks for the preview=true parameter in the URL to show the preview, but WPML causes a redirect and removes that param.

From your sample URL I see that on your site the same might be happening, because the url should
be: https://mysite.com/?blockmeister_pattern=test-pattern&preview=true

Please disable any other plugin to find the plugin that is causing the incomplete redirect.

That said, I am testing an alternative way to detect when previews should render or not (instead of relying on the presence of the preview param). This would then also enable the view option to work.

Tested on 3.1.4, vanilla theme with no other plugins

Oeps, missed that. So in your case it’s not caused by another plugin. But something is causing a redirect, else the preview=true param should be present at the end of your URL?

Anyway, the alternative test logic I mentioned should solve the problem anyways in the upcoming release. I will let you known when that is released.

Hi

WPML was still active in my case. Sorry thought it was disabled ??

So the preview URL does actually work perfect. Its the view pattern (bottom left of the screen after you save) that does not work as it is of course missing the &preview=true.

I am sure you are aware of that one though ??

Loving the plugin, it’s exactly what I needed to get some less inexperienced guys start building pages from blocks we create.

Thanks for your help,

Hi

I worked around the WPML issue in the latest release.

Both preview and view pattern should work now, even with the WPML issue as mentioned in my previous reply.

Can you confirm?

Working perfectly now

Thanks ??
