Edit page different from preview or live site

Hello there,

Many thanks for reaching out.

for some pages, but not all, the preview or the live site do not match what I do in the edit page… In fact, it almost doesn’t show anything at all.

Can you talk me through where you’re seeing this specifically please?

Also can you detail what changes are not showing please?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

So regarding the changes that are not showing it might be obvious if you click on the link attached to this thread (here bellow again). Essentially I get the website title and a menu on the right (that isn’t even the correct menu). Again I don’t know how to read code, but it definitely looks as if I was directed to the wrong page. And that is true for a number of pages I created (a contact page with a contact form or an “about page” with descriptions, media etc…)

https://toitoi.film/contact/

Conversely, the homepage and the page bellow do show properly.
https://toitoi.film/
https://toitoi.film/pas-de-deux/

I can’t understand the logic behind it. I will mention I created each time an english and a french page with the Polylang plugin but the problem isn’t there as I already tried turning the plugin off to no avail regarding the problem.

As to “where” I’m seeing this, I’m not exactly sure what the question is… Maybe I answered already? Looked it up on multiple browsers and devices, same issue.

Thanks for your help.

Hello there,

When I visit:

https://toitoi.film/about/
https://toitoi.film/contact/

These pages are blank – are you seeing the same thing?

I have seen this happen with translation plugins and usually the fix is to reset the permalinks of the site via Settings > Permalinks > Save.

Can you tell me if you’re seeing the content with the Polylang plugin disabled?

Hi,

Yes precisely they are blank, whereas in the edit I have a whole page set up. Even when I click on the preview it doesn’t show what I have in the edit. Precisely the discrepancy I’m wondering about.

I disabled Polylang and the issue persists, not sure it’s related to that…

Is the way to reseting Permalinks just by pressing “save”? In which case I did, still have the same issue.

Thank you.

Could you check those pages to see what template they’re using? If you change that settings, do you see any difference?

Also, have you edited your page templates at all?

Boom. That was it indeed.

They were set to “default template”. I changed them to “blank” and it seems like it works. Do you know why that is?

In any case, thanks a lot for your help !
