composer page issues

Permalink
I'm trying to build a new site with 5.7.3 and can't figure out how to add pages. I can't find where to enter the page name etc... I'm assuming those fields should be in the composer page, but for some reason are not showing.

Any idea if this is a bug, or am I just having a dumb n00b moment?

Hi ivorytux,

Your Composer screen should look like this.

Do you see the Composer screen when you use another page type - or does this happen with all page types?

I wonder if you have conflicting CSS in your theme that is interfering with the concrete5 UI.

Hi Carl,

Looks like you're right. I switched to a different theme, and sure enough the composer page shows up as expected.

Thanks for the help!

I have the exact same issue, but I'm not using a standard theme, I'm created my own. My theme uses Bootstrap 3.1.1

Any suggestions why the Page Composer is not showing?

To anyone having this problem – have you made sure to add a DIV around your entire site content with this code in it:

<div class="<?=$c->getPageWrapperClass()?>">


(This is detailed in the 5.7 theme guidelines but it's new so it might be easy to be missed.)

Thanks Andrew.

I can confirm that in my site, also with a theme I'm building from scratch this was the case. I ended up restarting from scratch a second time, wrapping everything in that DIV you mention, and paying closer attention to the videos this time around, and so far it works well!

For anyone else starting from scratch, attached is my theme so far, very basic, but fully functional. Keep in mind I might not be using all the "best practices" yet as I'm relatively new to concrete5...
