Issue with Breakpoints / Cornerstone updates

[kirk74]

Hi, I need an export to have a look under the hood for me please.

Since updating, I have an issue with certain things I create in Cornerstone not coming through in the front end… It is inconsistent as it is certain things not everything … For example in what I am testing right now, the CLASSIC TEXT element comes through but the TEXT element does not… and I have turned on Breakpoint on for this Section and this is being completely ignored.

At first this seemed like classic stubborn caching issues… BUT it cannot be this, because I have done all the things to cover this IE clearing ache, completely disabling the caching plug… clearing browsers and testing on different browsers / different computers and even using Transient Cleaner plugin to ensure no lingering Cornerstone caching.

I also have all the latest updates.

This is a live site I would be so grateful if someone could pls have look (please don’t just say deactivate plugins.

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in with a very detailed post information. I am already logged in and checked your homepage. I can see that every thing on the page is using the classic sections, rows, columns and other classic elements. Could you please point us to the exact page url where we can find the classic text and the text element that is displaying your mentioned issue?

Best Regards.

Hey @kirk74,

Issues like this usually is caused by broken HTML. I checked your page’s source code in http://htmlhint.com/ and indeed you have some broken HTML. A paragraph tag with a custom class is wrapping the column which should not be done.

I removed the Classic Text element with this shortcode [content_block id="23884"] but still the issue persisted. It looks like there’s some more syntax errors somewhere above the “test text 3” text. That is evident when I saved your page as a template, loaded it to a new test page (see secure note) and removed all the sections above the “test text 3” text.

Please check your content for broken HTML.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help … have been testing and it is a general issue with using these shortcodes: [content_block id=“23884”] … as I do this several times on this page … you removed one and still had the issue and this was because there was another one of these shortcodes used.further down the page… when i removed them all the breakpoints work as expected and the content that was missing shows properly.

What is strange is that I set up these content blocks a long time again and everything has been fine, so it must be a recent incompatibility … there are no HTML issues in the content blocks themselves (there was an extra

tag as you found … in the content block it was closed, but I didn’t create it it just appeared there at the end of the content, so it was empty and this is what caused the error you found of an open

tag … but when I removed this I still had the same issue, so the issue is actually just with using [content_block id] at all … it doesn’t like it anymore…

These are not essential - I used [content blocks] as a way to speed up editing on some of these pages with the same content … I will just need to change them to the more current Global Blocks … I haven;t played with these yet so this gives me a good reason to start using them!

Thanks for your help.
