Cant add block - First timer

Permalink
Good Morning

I hope all is well.

I am a first time user of concrete5, basically my client approached me to do some changes to his website, designed by a third party using concrete5, i have never used it before so i might just be missing something simple but i cant seem to get it working. Attached an image and what i need to do is to add another block below the "celebrity doctors" block, essentially the same dimensions, and above the block containing all the logos. As i understand it a little editing window should pop up with options of adding blocks etc but all i get is a little black line (as showed in image).

Please can anyone shed some light on this matter? i would greatly appreciate any help i can get.

Kind Regards

That INTRO VIDEO area might have a block limit of 1. Check the page type by hovering over the 'Editing' button and click 'Design'. Check the corresponding page type file in the theme directory. For example, a 'Right Sidebar' page type would be right_sidebar.php.

Look for something like the below and change the value of setBlockLimit.

$a = new Area('INTRO AREA');
$a->setBlockLimit('1');
$a->display($c);


You can also try adding a block to the BRANDING BLOCK area and move it above the logos. There may be a limit on that also though.

The reason there are no other options might be due to permissions of that area, or a setting in your site-root/config/site.php file which would look like

define('ENABLE_CUSTOM_DESIGN', false);
define('ENABLE_AREA_LAYOUTS', false);
