Content not showing on edit page
-
Morning
Since yesterday, when i went to edit my site, the content is not showing properly on the edit pages. Images are showing but where there should be blocks and text, instead there is showing empty blocks to edit. When I go to the site it is showing as normal. The only thing I have done differently is, I verified my site via my gmail business email by putting a code in to where I was instructed. Any idea what has happened?
Best wishes Jenny

Hi there,
Looks like an issue with the Cover blocks on your site. If you select a background color on those blocks the text will re-appear.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Hi
thank you
So this works
However, the original colour (pale blue) I choose for my block cover is no longer an option? Has it been removed? It still is showing when I go to view website currently.
-
Are you setting the overlay color following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/cover-block/#overlay-color ?
-
thanks, the issue is that the pale blue that was there as a cover colour choice and had been selected is now gone as an option. Has this been removed from wordpress?

So I found the way I change the colours, via the customiser. However, now when I make changes they are not showing up when I preview… I feel like there is an error with my page maybe. Might try another website builder and see if I have any luck, thank you

Hi there!
What exactly are you changing? Are you saving the changes or you do not see any change while testing things?
If you could add a screenshot of what exactly seems to be happening we’ll be happy to have a look. You can use an online tool for that (such as https://snipboard.io/), and paste the link into your reply. -
thank you for trying to help
So this is how it looks when I go to edit (colour reverts to one where i can’t see text):
This is how it looks on my site:
When I tried to edit the colour its a bit buggy (text may be white or black), and then it doesn’t save in the edit view, so when I go back to edit, after viewing site, I see the first image again. I hope this makes sense. I understand it is a bit confusing.

thanks everyone.
I decided just to change the colour scheme on the customiser, as my original block colour seemed to have vanished.
But now, my colour edits are not showing up. I am saving and the edit page shows the new colours. But they are not there when I view site.
The text changes are saving….
Very strange, any ideas?

Hi there,
Okay, I think I am seeing what you are referring to. To confirm, you saved in the customizer the background color to look like this:
However, after saving the site still has a white background like this:
Is this what you are seeing?

Can you try to clear your browser’s cache? You can find here more information on how to clear the cache depending on your browser:
https://wordpress.com/support/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
I do see the correct colors when I load your site. It looks like you might still be seeing a cached version.
-
So I just cleared my cache and it is now working…. thank you. I would love to understand why!
-
The browser stores some information in the cache so that you can access a site faster. If you have already visited a site, all the images and content takes time to load, however, if you visit that same time an hour later, the browser will bring up the version it has already loaded before which will be immediate.
The cache clears itself so there’s no need to worry but since you’re doing changes on the site, you may want to clear it manually to make sure you’re seeing the live site version.

So I dont know if i am just cursed, but all was fine then i went to check the edit page and the text has gone white. The live site still has black text, as I set and it still says should be black in the customiser……tried the cache thing and also tried a different browser – still same issue. Weird, any ideas? I can work with it, but its kind of irritating..
