Can't get content blocks to show up

    I put this in my template:
    <?php get_the_block('page title', 'type=one-liner'); ?>

    I can see a block to edit in my admin, but when I publish it, it doesn’t show up on the page at all. I looked through the documentation on github, but with 3 different examples of template tags and no explanation of where/when/how they should be included, I’m confused and afraid of breaking something. Are there some real examples I could look at?

    Could you try and remove the get_ part? So just the_block as a function name:

    <?php the_block('page title', 'type=one-liner'); ?>

    Just like other WordPress functions, the functions that prepend get_, don’t output anything, unless you echo it.

    Hope this explanation helps you!

    Ah yes, that works, thanks!

    If it helps with documentation, this “This will display the $name content block” indicated to me that it would display only the name of the block, while “This will get $name content block’s content, for you to process” seemed like it would show the actual content. The difference may be clear to a seasoned PHP developer, but to someone who only really touches this stuff to modify a WP install, some more specific examples and explanations of when and where one would use the different functions would be super helpful.

    I’m glad it worked out for you.

    Thanks for your feedback, we’re still working on improving our documentation. While this plugin is definitely made for developers, I agree that it should be more clear for novice developers.

    Thanks Harold Angenent,

    I was struggling for this from last 1 hr.
