Fixing Missing Content for Specific Blocks

Key Takeaways

  • Accordion blocks use pattern-based content, requiring users to copy linked patterns to display content correctly.
  • Users must create a pattern on their site by selecting the block and using the Create Pattern button to save copied content.
  • Each affected block may have a different linked pattern, necessitating separate saved patterns for proper functionality.
Table of Contents

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:

  1. Select the block (e.g., Carousel Anything, Tabs, etc.).
  2. Locate the Select Pattern option.
  3. Then click on the Create Pattern button.
  4. Add the pattern name.
  5. Paste the copied content from Step 2 into the editor.
  1. 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:

  1. Open the page in the WordPress editor (save and reload the page if already opened).
  2. Select the block (e.g., Carousel Anything, Tabs, etc.).
  3. Locate the Select Pattern option.
  4. Choose the pattern you just created.
  5. 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.

Related Frequently Asked Questions

Why is content missing from my Nexter Blocks after copying demos?

Content may be missing because these blocks use pattern-based content, which means the main content isn't directly inside the block. Instead, it is pulled from a connected pattern that doesn't get copied when you copy the block. As a result, the block loads without its intended content.

How do I find the linked pattern for my missing content?

To locate the linked pattern, look for the pattern section in the demo, usually positioned below or near the block. There should be a 'Copy' button on the pattern that allows you to copy the missing content, which you can then use to create a pattern on your site.

What is the best practice for creating patterns in NexterWP?

When creating patterns in NexterWP, ensure you name each pattern clearly and paste the copied content into the editor. If the demo contains multiple slides, create separate patterns for each slide to maintain organization and functionality. This approach helps avoid confusion and ensures all content is properly linked.

How do I reconnect a pattern with a block in NexterWP?

To reconnect a pattern with a block, open the page in the WordPress editor and select the block you want to link. Locate the 'Select Pattern' option, choose the pattern you created, and click the 'Publish' button to save your changes. This step is crucial for displaying the correct content in your block.

What common mistakes do people make when fixing missing content in Nexter Blocks?

A common mistake is not copying the correct pattern associated with each block. Each block may have a different pattern linked, so it's important to ensure that you copy and create a separate saved pattern for each block that has missing content. Failing to do this can lead to continued content issues.
