Cornerstone Does Not Want To Load

Hi there,

I am finding it very difficult to edit our website using cornerstone. Everytime I try, it tells me:

“The preview could not load. This is most often related to a plugin conflict or aggressive page cacheing. Checking the developer console for errors could indicate what went wrong.
Origin URL: https://aiad.com.au
Preview URL: https://aiad.com.au/services/google-adwords/

I turn off Hummingbird which is the caching plugin and it still does the same thing, cornerstone does not load. I turn off Yoast which actually does not have cache capabilities and then the whole website breaks. It’s very bizarre. Do I need to increase memory limit or something similar?

Our website is quite big but surely there must be a way to edit with the visual editor of Cornerstone, and not with the skeleton mode.

Your help is much appreciated!

Hi,

Please check for the following first:

  1. Ensure everything is up to date according to our version compatibility list at https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/troubleshooting-version-compatibility/195. Just note that the theme’s latest version is X 6.3.8, Cornerstone 3.3.8. Please follow the best practices when updating your theme and plugins. See https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/setup-updating-your-themes-and-plugins/62 for more details.

  2. If you’re using a caching plugin, clear all caches including browser cache then deactivate your caching plugin and other optimization plugins.

  3. If you’re using a CDN, please clear the CDN’s cache and disable optimization services.

  4. Test for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

  5. Remove custom CSS, Javascript and templates.

  6. Reset your htaccess file by renaming it to .htaccess-bak. Then in WP Admin Menu, go to Settings > Permalinks and just click the Save Changes button.

  7. Contact your host to increase your allocated memory or do it yourself by adding this code in your wp-config.php

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

Please try all these and if it still doesn’t work, please provide us your wordpress and ftp login in Secure Note.

Thanks.

I am having the same issue… I’ve followed all the above steps and still can’t get it working. Can I also provide my ftp login and wordpress login?

Hi @tangonet

You need to create a new topic and provide us your wordpress and ftp login in Secure Note

Secure Notes are visible to the original poster, so do not post a secure note unless you have started the thread.

Thanks

Hi Paul… can you please re-open my previous ticket?

@tangonet

I have checked and can see the issue with Cornerstone.

This is a known issue if you have old version of wordpress.

Please update wordpress to the latest version

Wordpress 4.9.8

Don’t forget to create full backup of your site before updating

Thanks

Thank you Paul… I will do a backup and upgrade wordpress. stay tuned

You’re welcome.
