RESOLVED Reusable block content not showing

    POWER OF POSTING! Even though I’d played with this for days, I figured it out after posting. Can’t see how to delete.

    Short version is that when editing the page, the reusable block content shows all the elements that should display. I think it’s connected to using columns.

    When I view the pages with the block, only the heading and not the rest of the content displays on the page.

    Longer details
    I’ve updated to 5.7. I was adding 2 reusable blocks to lots of old posts and at one point accidentally combined 2 reusable blocks (well added one to another I think) and didn’t realize what happened since I’m used to the old way of editing blocks where I have to be more intentional.

    I realized what I’d done at some point and tried to fix it, but it didn’t quiet work… eventually I thought I sorted it correctly. I use the “edit reusable blocks” area and got one of the blocks set perfectly and deleted the one causing the duplicate.

    However now while every place I see the reusable block in edit mode it shows correctly, not all the elements are displaying on the page.

    I did disable plugins and that didn’t help and purged cache too.

    I have another reusable block I use on this site that wasn’t accidentally edited and it still works fine.

    Hi, did you find a solution to the reusable blocks problem? I’m having similar issues with reusable blocks not showing up, disappearing, getting combined with other blocks etc.

    @nbadraftroom I resolved it… but I didn’t have a great solution.

    I think there was some element where I accidentally combined the 2 reusable blocks that wasn’t getting fully deleted. I basically had to delete everything in the reusable block I wanted to use and replace all the content I wanted in that space.

    I should add I was in the editing the reusable block page… not editing it in my post. So in the blocks side bar, where it lists the reusable blocks and you can click on edit from there… that’s what I did.

    I’ve noticed that since updating the the latest wordpress core… it’s too easy to edit reusable blocks, but it’s also not easy to get some block elements completely deleted too as I had trouble clearing something out on another post on a different site too recently.

    thanks for the quick reply! I’ll try the technique you used and see if that helps. Cheers
