I'm following the umbraco instructions to enable a block grid on a specific page template, alll seems to work on within the backend CMS, but nothing render either visually or in the code when I publish the page see images below, also I don't receive an page errors, any help would be much appreciated:
On a separate note I see the out of the box block elements are rendered in the Umbraco content page, How can I achieve this with my custom built blocks?
Thanks for getting back to me, the 'deep dive' guide is the one I'm following, forgot to mention the partials I've already created, can't understand what I'm missing :-(
Thanks again for your support, funnily enough I spun up a separate instance of the Block Grid Template to see where I was going wrong, but this Block Grid data type has defeated me, so have gone back to using a Block List data type instead which works perfectly fine, when I've got a bit more time I'll look into it again as it would be good to use the layout options.
Thanks for all your suggestions, after sometime away I tried the block grid again and managed to get it working only after refreshing the database cache within settings:
Rendering Block Grid on page issue
Hi,
I'm following the umbraco instructions to enable a block grid on a specific page template, alll seems to work on within the backend CMS, but nothing render either visually or in the code when I publish the page see images below, also I don't receive an page errors, any help would be much appreciated:

Many thanks as always

Hi Nick
There is a great 'deep dive' into working with the block grid here: https://umbraco.com/blog/deep-dive-block-grid-editor-part-1/
That might give you a few pointers, that seems to suggest you'll need partial views for each block in /views/partials/blockgrid/components...
But maybe you have and its something else...
but mentioning just in case!

Hi Marc,

do you have the corresponding templates in Views\Partials\blockgrid ?
Hi Nick..
Hmm, there is a demo git repo of the block grid in action here:
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.BlockGrid.Example.Website
Wonder if you forked that and ran it locally whether comparing that with what you have would reveal the anomaly...

Thanks again for all community support on this
Glad you got it sorted, and thanks for posting the answer, sure it will help someone else who is similarly banging their head against the examples!
