no content displays - only masthead

kristenwestlake · 2014-11-04 02:51:54

Hi,

I just upgraded to the new wordpress CE4-WordPress-310beta1.zip (1.4 MB).

I've uploaded the exported data to my theme. However, now only the masthead displays at the top of the blog with no content. Can anyone direct me as to how to get my blog content to display? I've never had this issue with previous wordpress updates.
My blog is here : http://www.kristenwestlake.net/blog/

Thank you for any help!
Kristen

because of an update to the options framework you probably need to go through the Theme Options and check your page configurations, making sure you have the right page layouts assigned to the different kinds of pages you may have.
(Matt mentions this in the post about the beta but it's easy to miss/forget -- I know I did. My test site's blog had similar issues you're seeing)

Thank you Rod

I wondered about that but not sure how exactly each page should be configured. I guess it comes down to testing different configurations and trial / error.
thank you!

I just changed all of my page configurations within wordpress to the page layouts that are assigned to the different pages but I still have the same issue.
Is there anything that I need to change within the lightroom wordpress too?

Thanks!

I switched back to the old one for now until I can figure out the new one ..

rod barbee · 2014-11-04 06:02:47

Did you go through all settings? Like the one that assigns your latest posts to the blog home page?

kristenwestlake · 2014-11-04 06:40:52

I have a hard time understanding the settings.
If I go to http://www.kristenwestlake.net/blog/wp- … -framework I tried to assign the correct sidebar options, but its confusing to me.
I'm not sure where the other settings are? The one that assigns the latest posts to the blog home page sounds like the one I'd want to find and change but I have no idea where that setting is? I'm confused, Is it inside the actual wordpress framework or within lightroom? .. My left brain needs some right brain (visual) support! LOL

All I'm seeing for settings within the theme are 4 tabs across the top of the wordpress page :
Basic settings - custom graphics - Page Layout - Advanced Settings

They are a bit confusing to me but I don't see any place within any of these settings that give an option of assigning my latest posts to the home page. I may likely be missing the boat here as its all confusing to me. I'm sure its something simple that I'm just overlooking?

In the reading settings I have the spot clicked where it says Front page displays Your latest posts.

From the WordPress Dashboard go to Settings > Reading

kristenwestlake · 2014-11-04 06:52:16

thanks Rod, just found that and it is checked where it says Front page displays
Your latest posts

I just changed my blog back to the new one to see if the reading setting was working there.. that option for the front page to display latest posts is clicked but I'm back to a blank blog ..

back to the old one again .. I am stumped on this one!

Hmmm. I'm seeing the same things with my test site (I spoke too soon earlier). I have another site using the latest 3.1.0 beta and it seems to be workingfine, but it doesn't use any blog posts, it's just a bunch of pages: http://workshops.barbeephoto.com/

but on my CE4 test site I'm not seeing anything on the blog page other than header and navigation. Not even the admin bar at top when I'm logged in: http://ce4.barbeephoto.com/blog/
I'll leave this as is for Matt to take a look at as it doesn't have anything of importance on it.
It's as if the page is dying at the loop.

so you're not crazy

rod barbee · 2014-11-04 08:05:04

I'm also seeing that single posts and pages are doing the same thing. I can go to posts and pages from the Dashboard, choose one, and click view and see nothing but header and navigation.

which makes me wonder why my workshops site is working...

kristenwestlake · 2014-11-04 08:20:02

exactly the same for me Rod ~ I can click on posts and pages form the dashboard but see nothing.

I'm not happy that you're having the same issue - and yep, same exact issue when I click on your blog! Yet I am glad I'm not crazy! I switched back to the old blog but hopefully Matt can shed some light on the subject
Hmm, that is odd that your workshops are working fine .. maybe its when the blog is mixed with blog posts that it doesn't work. Puzzling!

Thank you!
Kristen

That's freaking weird. Can you list out steps to reproduce? Is this only happening when the blog is not the front page?

Matthew · 2014-11-04 08:56:01

Do you both have social media sharing buttons enabled? If yes, disable them. Does that fix things?

rod barbee · 2014-11-04 09:14:32

does it with either a static page or latest blog posts on blog home page.
Social media sharing and profiles were both enabled. Disabled both and it works.

re-enabled Social profiles only and it still works

kristenwestlake · 2014-11-04 09:50:34

Same here. It works when I disable the social media sharing.

Matthew · 2014-11-04 10:57:12

Okay, then I know what the problem is. Thank you.

Matthew · 2014-11-04 14:37:31

Beta 2 is online now, and should address this issue.

rod barbee · 2014-11-04 23:17:31

it does!

kristenwestlake · 2014-11-06 01:04:19

Yes, it works!

thank you!
