www.remarpro.com site looks different in editor VS in viewing mode

  • Sorry i can’t include the site, I’m hosting it locally so I can’t really show it to you all.
    Today my site lost a lot of its functionality. I can’t press the “view page” buttons while in the editor, the “edit site” shortcut in the dashboard doesn’t work and I can only edit the site with the “edit site” button on the top left while viewing the site. What’s really weird is the home page looks fine on the viewer, but when I try clicking the buttons to get to other pages it says “the requested URL was not found on this server”.
    I also can’t do a lot of other things in the editor. The style is gone from the background, it can’t find the other pages for the header (says Page List: cannot retrieve pages) and the header also says “Site Title Placeholder” instead of my actual site title. Basically something is going super wrong with the editor where it’s missing like 75% of what should be on my site.
    The actual viewing part of my site seems mostly fine except for the missing page connections.
    Any ideas of what could be causing this?? The only thing I’ve changed recently was pasting from the backup folder in xampp/mysql/backup into xampp/mysql/data/ since that’s the fix for MySQL failing to run in xampp. I don’t think that should actually change anything with the site though since the backup folder doesn’t have the folder with the site database, only sql stuff.

    I don’t know what this means but it’ll probably help someone determine the issue better: I can go to a page from the dashboard, but viewing any of them with the URL /sitename/pagename says “the requested URL was not found on this server”.
    ALSO whenever I try to update a page after making edits, I get the error “Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.”

    Hello @ckrauter

    You mean you are not getting this “View Page or Post” option in the editor? Screenshot- https://prnt.sc/mg-NPo1HAA3L

    And you can’t edit the website using Site editor – screenshot – https://prnt.sc/fXIXagQQn73b

    Plus, when you try to update the page it’s responding a Not valid JSON response?

    I am pretty sure, you have done something wrong with your Database. It needs a lot of testing to solve the issue. I recommend you deleting your existing active theme and re upload it again. Do the same things for all of your active plugins too. First delete and again re upload plus active.

    If you have done something wrong in your database, this re upload maybe overwrite your database and adjust the theme and plugin missing data.

    But as mentioned, it needs more testing. This is just a simple and basic way to start your testing.

    thanks for the help, it wasn’t worth to try and figure out what was wrong so I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it’s fine now
