    Page rendering as blank

    I've just uploaded my local project & database to a testing server and I've got one page contact us that is rendering blank. It works fine on my local machine.

    If I change the name of this page to 'contact us1' and publish it renders fine.

    If I change it back I just get a blank page with no markup at all.

    I'm not sure what's happened but would sure like to know how to fix it.

    Regards,

    Matt

    I am guessing that you have a template called Contact Us as well and that one is empty?

    Hello Sebastian,

    You are right, I used to have a template and document type called 'Contact Us' but I deleted them both when I deleted the only page that used them.

    I then created a new 'Contact us' page to use a different document type and template.

    Are you saying that somehow Umbraco has remembered this old template and is applying to the new page?

    Not sure why it is working locally and not on the server? The restored DB will be the same and I copied the masterpages, xslt, css, js and media changes I had made.

    Do you know how to fix it? I should have mentioned before it is V.4.0.4.2.

    Regards,

    Matt

    I've been doing some more searching and discovered tis is a common problem.

    Looking at the trace for the page with '?umbDebugShowTrace=true' I'm getting

    • Master template is the same as the current template. It would course an endless loop!

    Thing is, I've now deleted the 'Contact us' page altogether but for some reason you can still browse to it and get the same blank page.

    I'll search some more about this but any help would be appreciated.


    Thank you,

    Matt

    I found the solution in this post.

    All this time I'd been re-publishing the entire site via the homepage node.

    I should have been doing from the very top 'Content' node which refreshes all sorts of extra things.

    Hope it helps someone else.
