Footer Box missing

Permalink
Hello All,

I've attached a cpl screenshots (one in edit mode, one in live site mode), both from same exact site.

here is the footer code:
<?php   defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied."); ?>
<div class="wrapper">
  <div id="footer">
    <div id="newsletter">
       <?php  
         $a = new GlobalArea('Newsletter Signup');
         $a->display();
      ?>      
    </div>
    <div class="footbox">
       <?php  
         $a = new GlobalArea('Footbox 1');
         $a->display();
      ?>       
    </div>


Question: why is one of the footer boxes disappearing on the live site.

When the site is in edit mode, or when it's not in edit mode, but i'm stilled signed into site, all boxes appear.

But when I log out of the site, and/or visit it from another computer/browser a box is missing.

There's probably something simple I'm doing or not doing, and I really would appreciate any feedback.

I had exactly the same issue, no idea why it happened?

What I did was edit the block by typing a couple of extra characters and then deleting them.

Saved and published, all worked?

Weird!

Thanks 55webdesign,

I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work for me. I even went as far as deleting one of the 3 boxes in edit mode, now my live site only shows 1, go figure, hmm.

By the way, didn't mention before but I'm using 5.6.0.1 version.

Our issue was the same version

Okay, I went back and tried your suggestion again, this time on all 3 boxes, and now they're all displaying properly on live site.

I am having the same issue, but with GlobalAreas. I have attempted the fix listed above but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Yes these were global areas I was working with as well. What I did notice when in edit mode was that all of my boxes didn't display the red border, only one of them were.

So as in 55webdesign's suggestion, I added/removed some text, and saved until each of the global area blocks displayed the red border in edit mode.

Not saying that's the exact remedy, but it's working as it should be now.

I have tried clearing the cache, editing content in each block then saving them all together, changing the names in the code to not include a space but rather an underscore. The last change shifted the missing blocks around but there are still footer areas missing.

This is very strange and I'd be glad to help with any debugging efforts. That being said, I'd hope a new version wouldn't have these sorts of problems.


Update: I've been messing around with things and it seems that I can get the areas to appear by editing a block by a character, saving, publishing, going back and removing the character, saving, publishing...this is kind of ridiculous, but at least it works.

Doing two at a time this way, only the first one edited will appear.
