Pages blank when i publish and preview
-
Hello!
Whenever I try to view my published page ‘silver dollar event productions’ it just shows a blank screen with the name of a different page at the top. How do I fix this?
Thank you!

Hi! I think your site’s “Page” template (as in: the default template/layout which applies to pages on your site) is missing something called the “Post Content block” which is basically what shows everything you’ve added in the page editor, on the live page.
The easiest way to fix this is:
- Head to Appearance > Editor to open the Site Editor
- In there, head to Templates > Page so you can start editing your Page template
- Look for and insert the “Post Content” block, and save your changes.
That should get everything you’ve added to your front page showing up correctly!
In case of need we do have a few guides that might be relevant – they’re linked below.

Hi!
I gave that a shot but it didn’t change anything. Not sure if this is related but my website ends in .blog but I want it to just be a regular website and not a blog. I don’t have any posts made, just a mockup webpage I created with the default editor before upgrading to premium. More specifically, I started creating the page by going to “Pages” and then “Add New” using the free default version of wordpress but I’ve never used the post feature.

Hello there,
Not sure if this is related but my website ends in .blog but I want it to just be a regular website and not a blog.
The domain name won’t affect the functionality of the site. You can choose to have posts or no posts on any WordPress.com site.
I gave that a shot but it didn’t change anything.
Is there anything in the current page template you need to save or would you be open to possibly resetting it back to the default template? If so, you can do that using this guide:
https://wordpress.com/support/templates/#reset-a-templateSomething seems to be out of sync with the template, and if you need to preserve the changes to it, we will continue looking into it.
Have a nice day!

The page is nearly complete so I would like to keep the changes made. Would that be possible?

Hey there!
It seems that there was a piece of CSS code added to your site that prevented it from displaying any blocks. Everything should be working correctly now – can you confirm?
