Can't add blocks or delete section

Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm having a hard time deleting 3 sections on my page. Out of nowhere the ability to delete the section or add a block to the section has disappeared. The design menu does not pop up to edit a section. Any troubleshooting tips? I would love to delete these sections and redo them.

Probably just a glitch, but for now you could just target the section ID and hide them with CSS.

So something like this

#SECTION-ID-1, #SECTION-ID-2, #SECTION-ID-3 {

display: none !important;

}

Then check back in 24 hours or so.

Yes, it was a glitch. Somehow some html code block started messing with the sections underneath it. I ended up just deleting the block and working around it. Your code did work for a little bit while i fixed the problem. Thanks.

Malformed code can manifest strange behaviour. A missing closing tag is often the cause of oddities.

Thanks a bunch. I'll try it out. Must i close a <font> tag as well? In the following code for example,

 

<h3>

  <font color="fffff">

  <center>Find Support in a

    <span style= "font-family: script">

      Holistic

    </span>

    Community

  </center>

</h3>
