Sections & Elements Not Displaying – White Canvas Issue

Hi Bricks Community,

While editing my page in Bricks Builder, sections, elements, and containers are not displaying—just a white canvas. I have already deactivated all installed plugins, but the issue persists.

I’m new to Bricks, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance. :pray:

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum!

First of all, please make sure you’re using Bricks 1.12.3 - with 1.12.2, there was an issue with elements not showing on the canvas if it was initially empty that’s fixed in 1.12.3. Alternatively, just save and reload the builder. The elements should show now.

If you’re already using 1.12.3 and the issue persists, it’s most likely due to this:

Have you also tried to increase your memory_limit in either your wp-config file or a user.ini file?

Cheers

Thank you shingen but I think I have the required space. For more contest everything works well when creating a header but not on the page.

Hi timmse,
thank you, I am actually using Bricks 1.12.3, I am not using Cloudflare and or rocket loader . For more contest everything works well when creating a header but not on the page.

Memory_limit and space are not the same thing, so I just want to double check to ensure you know what I mean when I say memory_limit – this is what I am referring to. What Is PHP Memory Limit? | Hostinger Help Center

@timmse Are there any updates regarding this issue? I have the same problems. Developing locally (with Laravel Herd) and not using Cloudfare. It seems like issue happens only on larger content pages. For me it’s a page with 5 sections (so actually not that large).

When i load the editor, this console error appears and i get a white canvas:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘vue_app’)

I am using Chrome by the way

Hi @tmueller ,
It’s hard to say, especially since this is a local installation.

Here are a few ideas:

  • Disable all browser extensions / try in another browser / incognito
  • Remove elements one by one and check when it starts working
  • Copy/paste or export your page content, so we can try
  • Make the site available and share login details by email with us

Hi @timmse ,

thanks for your reply.
I actually just fixed it a couple of hours ago.
I increased the max_input_vars in my php.ini from 1000 to 3000 and it seems to have solved it.
No issues ever since.
