MartinLawrence Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Had a page that took a couple hours to perfect. I tried to move a block, got the error above, and lost all data in that block! Is there a way to get it back? Edit: Would this happen if two administrators had the block open in edit mode?

Marc Stridgen Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If 2 have had it open and one has saved it, then they may well have saved it with no data. There is no way in which to recover a block without restoring a backup from an earlier point in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution opentype Posted May 10, 2022 Solution Share Posted May 10, 2022 Tip: Create the block in the ACP as Pages block. That way, nothing you do on the front-end can kill it. MartinLawrence and Marc Stridgen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way in which to recover a block without restoring a backup from an earlier point in time @Marc Stridgen He didn't actually want to edit the page, but because he was in the Administrators group, it opened when he visited the page. Shouldn't the default be set to not edit the blocks when visiting? I'm going to see now if there is any automated backup in this incredible software...

Marc Stridgen Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Its only set to open when you click on edit from the admin CP. It doesnt open that way when visited from the front end using a normal link. The reason it opens that way from the admin CP is that the intention of that button is to edit the page MartinLawrence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
