NO BUG: Elements won't show on page nor header template

I just installed version 1.12.1 for a new website.

Created a simple header template with a section and a container. It has a logo and a home menu. The header template condition is to be shown in the entire website.

Then created a test home page.

To my surprise the header was not shown in the page. I figured that the header template should be published, and I did.

Then the header appeared in the test home page but the tool bar to add sections and blocks did not show when editing. Even if adding a section from the left menu, the structure shows the section but in the page was blank and not able to be selected.

I place the header template back to draft and then I was able to see the tool bar and add sections in the editing page. But still the header won’t show up as part of the page.

Am I missing a bricks setting?

This is a new installation and I do not find the reason for this.

Hello @RaulUsr,

Can you give a screenshot of the builder, where the issue is visible? Or even better, a video. Also, are there any errors in the developer console?

Might be also worth checking Bricks known issues article on academy (Known issues – Bricks Academy), especially if you have Cloudflare. It might also be an issue with CSS or something in the header itself. It’s worth trying to create a new one, with maybe just basic text as a content, and apply it to whole page, so you cha check if it’s working then.

About a header. If it’s in Draft status, it will not be applied to the page. It will show only if it’s published, so I suppose that works as intended.

Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hello Matej

Since this is a fresh installation, I went back to the simple steps basic text as you pointed out.

This is the thing…

I deleted the header template and created a new one.

I have used custom fonts in my theme style from the beginning for body (Avenir), header and links (Krona One). I remove them from the theme.

Tested the template and page and all works fine.

From the page in edit mode I now see the header and edit header option.

The view on frontend works fine too.

Afterwards I started including the custom fonts and it works.

Thank you Matej!!

Seems like it was something in the old header then. Well, I’m happy that it works now :slight_smile:

Thank you for your response. I’ll mark the topic as no-bug.

Best regards,
Matej
