amoncur Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I created a new Pages database called "Job Board" and added it to my menu in ACP. However, when I look at the site, the Job Board page does not show up. Any idea why that would be? I also have a record in the database, but since I can't see the page on the front end I don't know if that record shows up, either.

opentype Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Have you put the database widget on the page and selected the database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 If you go to "Pages>Content>Databases" and look at the side of the database name, it will tell you if its already on a page. As (I think) opentype is suggesting there, its likely you already have it attached to a page. If so, it would not allow you to select it, as it can be selected as the database on one page only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoncur Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks, guys. Here is what I see in Pages>Content>Databases (screenshot below). Is there something else I need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Did you click the "Publish this menu" button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoncur Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 The one in System>Site Features, right? Yes, indeed - it's published. But still doesn't show up on front end (or in preview in ACP). What's weird is I just clicked publish again, then checked the live preview in ACP and the Job Board menu item DID show up...went to the front end and it DID NOT show up, went back to the ACP and it no longer showed up. Ha, just checked the live preview and Job Board shows up again...but still does not show up on front end. What clue does this give us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Lovely - ruled out the silly possibility that it wasn't published. Next one - you are choosing to "Show this item to users who can access its content." - have you confirmed that the Page itself has permissions set to allow the page to be accessible, and the same with the Database? Reason for asking this - the default permission on a new Page has no groups selected. If you create a database, and don't assign it to a Page at the time of creation, and then go back and create a Page and add the database there, then you are potentially looking for a Page that isn't accessible. Just adding some possibilities to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoncur Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hm, great question. I'm not sure. I poked around the database settings but didn't see anything like what you're describing. I'm probably looking in the wrong place. Where should I go to check this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 And the database... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amoncur Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Okay, I think this is what you're asking for...looks like permissions are set up correctly? Thanks so much for your help, by the way. Page: Databse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks for checking - just wanted to rule out the ones that hadn't been thought of by others already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amoncur Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Terrific, thank you! So if this happens again in the future, what can I do to "reset/save" the permissions on my end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amoncur Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 @Marc Stridgen FYI this just happened again with my new Mentoring page database: https://www.thewave.engineer/mentoring/ I resaved the page permissions like you suggested and that fixed the problem.

Next time you do one of these, please disable all 3rd party items before you do so. Im not able to reproduce the issue on my end unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
