NO BUG: Archive pages stopped displaying posts

Bugs
1

I recently noticed that my two main archive pages are no longer showing any posts.
I had not made any changes to them in the builder.
In the backend builder and on the preview pages, they work fine.
I’ve disabled all plugins and nothing changed, I’ve cleared all cache numerous times to no avail either. I’m completely stumped. :thinking:
I’ve two section templates on my home page that display properly. My search results queries fine as well.
The only things I’ve done for the whole site recently was adding Google Adsense. As a side note, I think it slows down so much, but even disabling that, the archive pages still don’t show the posts. I’ve been feeding it into an AI to help with this issue and it’s stumped as well.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

No one noticed yet so I have more details -

  1. Homepage Queries Work: Custom sections on the homepage that use similar query loops with li elements work flawlessly.

  2. Taxonomy Pages Load: The archive pages do load, and they correctly display the taxonomy’s custom image and title. This means that the correct templates are being loaded and that your theme is handling archive pages.

  3. The ul is Present: The ul container element on the archive page is present in the DOM, which means the Bricks elements are rendering correctly.

  4. No li elements: The li elements that should be generated from the post query loop are missing on the front end only on the archive page.

  5. Frontend vs. Backend: Everything appears to work correctly in the Bricks backend editor, and the issue only occurs on the front end.

  6. Reinstall and Plugins: Reinstalling WordPress core does not fix the issue, and disabling all plugins does not fix the issue.

This appears to be a bug. I finally downgraded back to 1.11.1 and it works fine now.

Hi Scott,
We have not had a similar report so far, so I assume it is an individual problem.

It is advisable to select the bugs category if you are sure you have found a bug. If this is the case, we need reproducible steps to fix it.

Please send temporary login credentials (in the best case, to a clone/staging of your website) and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase so we can check what is causing the problem.

Best regards,
timmse

Hi timmse,
I know this has been a while since responding about it again but this issue still persists for us. I have added versions 1.11.1.1 (our main site is still on this version), 1.12.4, and 2.0-beta to LocalWP to test everything out. Only 1.11.1.1 does not have this issue. So when editing all three with the same parameters and trying to preview it, it appears to work on the frontend, but if you are not in preview mode and try to see the saved version, it does not display.
The comment is where this issue appears to be happening and this comment appears on the newer versions, but not on the 1.11.1.1 version. The 8ba6ac class is the list item in the query loop. I am not sure if you added more commenting on the newer versions to help with troubleshooting or not, but it is there.
If we remove the preview tag to view the page, then the list items disappear and the query loop stops working.
We have verified that all settings are the same. We have two main category pages that we use for restaurant type and area. The issue is the same for both. I will send an email to where you suggested above with login details.

Thanks Bricks Support for helping us fix this.

That was me :slight_smile:
Here’s a summary: I simply reset the loop, reconfigured it, and inserted a new pagination element. That solved the problem.

I’m not sure what happened before, but it was pretty easy to fix :v:
