Solved SP Page Builder

All Articles Broken Somehow After Update

Asked by Dezmond 1 week ago Last activity 1 day ago

Hello,

I am just realizing all pages/articles are broken somehow after updating to latest Joomla version. Not sure if maybe the pages were broken previously after JCE editor update possibly but all articles are not showing up correctly currently. Setup is Joomla Articles with Page Builder integrated into all articles. When clicking a page there is no data showing for pages/articles.

If I go and recreate the page outside of Joomla Articles and within the Page Builder dashboard those pages are showing correctly.

Hi Dezmond,

Thanks for sharing the login details. I checked your site and found the cause.

Your articles are displayed through the SP Page Builder Article Detail page. On that page, the Dynamic Text addon that shows the article content had its Field Source set to Intro Text. That field doesn't include your Page Builder content, so the block came out empty.

Your articles are built with SP Page Builder, so I changed the Field Source to SPPB Layout. That setting shows the full Page Builder layout of each article. Your Bio and Services pages now show their content correctly. All your articles use the same Article Detail page, so this fixes all of them.

If you'd rather show content written in the Joomla editor, you can switch the Field Source to Full Text. You'll find it under SP Page Builder → Pages → Article Detail page → Dynamic Text addon. Keep in mind that this only shows the text from the Joomla editor, not your Page Builder layouts.

Please clear your browser cache, check a few pages on your side, and let me know if anything still looks off.

Best regards,

Hi Dezmond,

Thanks for the links. I checked both pages.

Your Bio and Services articles are being displayed through an SP Page Builder Article Detail page (the layout with category, date, author, Share and "You May Also Like"). The block under the title, where the article content should appear, is coming out empty.

We tested the same setup on our side with the latest versions (SP Page Builder 6.9.1 on Joomla 6.1.2). There, an article built with Page Builder shows its content correctly inside the Article Detail page. So please check these:

Update SP Page Builder to the latest version, then clear the Joomla cache (System → Clear Cache) and reload the pages.
Check one article: open Bio under Content → Articles and make sure SP Page Builder (not Joomla Editor) is selected at the top of the Content tab. Then click Edit with Backend Editor and confirm your layout is still there. Please don't save in Joomla Editor mode, because that can detach the layout.
Check the Detail page: go to SP Page Builder → Pages, open your Article Detail page, and make sure the Dynamic Text addon below the title has its Field Source set to Full Text.

If it's still blank after that, please tell us your SP Page Builder and Joomla versions. Also add your admin login in the Hidden Content field so we can check it directly.

Best regards,
