# Fixing Missing Content for Specific Blocks

## Key Takeaways

- Accordion, Carousel Anything, Dynamic Device, Navigation Menu, Post Listing, Popup Builder, Switcher, and Tabs Tours use pattern-based content, so copying only the block leaves the main content out and the block loads without content.
- Select Pattern and Create Pattern let WordPress users paste the copied pattern content, add a pattern name, and click Publish to save it on the site.
- Multiple slides in a demo require multiple patterns, and each affected block needs its own linked pattern copied, created, and reconnected.

If you’re experiencing that content is missing when copying demos of the following blocks:

- Accordion

- Carousel Anything

- Dynamic Device

- Navigation Menu

- Post Listing

- Popup Builder

- Switcher

- Tabs Tours

Don’t worry — this guide will help you fix it step by step.

### Step 1: Understand the Cause

These blocks use **pattern-based content**, meaning the main content (like slides, tabs, accordion items) is not directly inside the block but is pulled from a pattern.

When copying the demo, **only the block gets copied**, not the connected patterns, which results in:

- Block loading **without content**.

### Step 2: Locate the Linked Pattern

Each block has a connected pattern that contains the actual content.

To find and copy the missing content:

- Look for the **pattern section** in the demo (usually below or near the block).

- You’ll see a**“Copy” **button on the pattern.

- Copy the pattern just like you copied the block.

### Step 3: Create a Pattern on Your Site

In your WordPress dashboard:

- Select the block (e.g., **Carousel Anything**, **Tabs**, etc.).

- Locate the **Select Pattern** option.

- Then click on the **Create Pattern** button.

- Add the pattern name.

- Paste the copied content from **Step 2** into the editor.

- Click the **Publish** button to save your pattern.

> ***Note:**** If there are multiple slides in the demo, you’ll need to create multiple patterns and paste each content block accordingly.*

### Step 4: Reconnect the Pattern with the Block

Now, go to the page where you pasted the block:

- Open the page in the WordPress editor (save and reload the page if already opened).

- Select the block (e.g., **Carousel Anything**, **Tabs**, etc.).

- Locate the **Select Pattern** option.

- Choose the pattern you just created.

- Click the **Publish** button to save your changes

Your block should now display the correct content.

### Step 5: Repeat for All Affected Blocks

Repeat **Steps 2, 3, and 4** for every block that has missing content.

Each block might have a different pattern linked, so make sure to:

- Copy each required pattern.

- Create a separate saved pattern on your site.

- Link each one correctly.
