Add-on blocks = "Failed to fetch template list" error

Asked by SonicShock 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi Friends! This is a one year old problem, which I hoped would resolve with SPB 4, but didn't. Attempt to load Add-on blocks triggers an endless loop of "Failed to fetch template list". Add-ons, templates, and custom blocks I save work fine, but not this. Any new ideas? Host is Godaddy.

The only solution provided previously was to turn off "mod_security", which a) I can't do, b) shouldn't do, and has been noted by others with this problem, doens't fix the problem.

So I build my own blocks from scratch, and I can save them, but it sure would be nice to have the full functionality of SPP back.

I assume it's something unique about Godaddy, but there have to be lots of people using them that don't have issues. Old site/brand new fresh Joomla/Helix/SPB install still get this problem.

Hello SonicShock

Please take a full site backup with Akeeba Backup in ZIP format and share here. Follow this tutorial

Best regards

Ofi - I apologize for my delayed reponse. I've put a DropBox link for you below with the Zip file you requested.

Ofi, I have this same issue with other sites on this host. This, however, is the newest, simplest, and cleanest installation. If you can tell me how to fix the problem here, then presumably I can fix my other sites as well. Warmest regards, Andrew

It looks good now. Please update your license key and then check.

Hi Ofi! That's HUGE progress, thank you! Except.....
The moment I put in the license key, we're right back to the original problem "Failed to Fetch Template List". (The site here is www.hair-reno.ca)

  1. I then removed the license key, and that fixed the problem, though of course then I can't use the blocks without registering the license key.
  2. I then reinstalled the license key and got back the same blocks error: "Failed to Fetch Template List" This time, however, this error did not go away by removing the license key.
  3. I have the same problem with any other site. For example: www.sonicshock.com. I've given you both log-on details and an Akeeba back up of that site below.
  4. If you are able to effect something, if possible would you be able to tell me what you did (assuming it's something I can do at this end)? I have two other sites to fix (for the moment), and don't want to keep runing back to you for a fix. Warmest regards, Andrew

Update: removing the license registraiton allows the blocks to load in both sites I've given you here. BUT, adding the license back isn't recognised by the blocks who still are marked "Buy Pro". (The other aspects of SP Pagebuilder do work.)

I'm pretty sure that if the the blocks did recognize that this was a registered/licensed verison, then it would fail.

There are issues with your hosting. You need to contact your hosting provider. I have tried on another hosting and it works fine. Please check it. I have shared the credentials in the hidden content.

Thank you for taking the time to do that experiment Ofi.

Okay, well first you're using a deprecated version of PHP (7.4). Not that I think that matters, as I couldn't fix the problem going back to 7.4 (but at least one other of your users did), but then, what other stuff is your server running that's dated?

Next, so I contact GoDaddy...and tell them...what? That some obscure function of a web app I'm running on Joomla doesn't work when I enter your licence key? You have to give me some clue as to why entering your licence key in Joomla throws up an endless error loop "Failed to Fetch Template List" when attempting to load those blocks. The templates load fine, as do my own saved blocks. What have you done differently with those pre-configured blocks?

Looking at the error logs, you appear to have a syntax error in your code for the Google Maps add-on. I never use it, BUT it appears your blocks do, because loading them (even though inactivated because the only way I can load the list is to remove the license key), throws up these errors:

Apology for the inconvenience. I have shared your issue with the developer team. They want to check the error log. Please share your cPanel access here to check the issue. Use the Hidden Content box to share the credentials. Make sure that you have a full site backup with you before sharing.
