Common Questions
My preview page is completely blank, why?
If your preview page is coming back completely blank then you have probably put an article page in your primary or secondary content blocks. Remove it and your page will display again.
My preview page has a warning message and my page won't display on live, why?
Article pages attached to a brand need to be created in the same /programmes project space as the brand's programmes options form.
If the warning message on the preview page mentions a different /programmes project space then you need to create your article page in that group. If no group is mentioned you need to create a programme options form. for more information see
