Questions & Answers

I'm entering data in a field, but the field does not save/remains empty in the form. What do I do?

• Go to your dashboard
• Click "Stacks & Blocks"
• Click "Block Types"
• Click your created Block Type name in the Installed Block Types section
• Click the "Refresh" button here (this will update your database table, most likely you deleted the block type at some point, and after changing and installing again, database changes won't be applied)
• Now try and save your block types again with the data that couldn't be saved

I want to tweak a couple of things for a block and go to 'Block Config' and load the appropriate block. Now when making the changes and hitting "Make the block!" it gives me an error that the block type is already installed. What do I do?

You can uninstall the Block by going to "Stacks & Blocks" - "Block Types". This will not remove your database table. Now when you load the config, make changes and hit "Make the block!" you will get a message saying "Block type folder XXX already exists. You want to delete this block type folder?" You can click "delete this block type folder". This will remove all contents, so you can actually create a new one using the same handle. When you hit "Make the block!" again, it will be created. After that, follow these steps:

• Go to your dashboard
• Click "Stacks & Blocks"
• Click "Block Types"
• Click your created Block Type name in the Installed Block Types section
• Click the "Refresh" button here (this will update your database table, after changing and installing again, database changes won't be applied automatically by Concrete5)

What versions of concrete5 are compatible? This works with version 5.7.x and 8.x.x. So no worries that this will break in upcoming concrete5 versions, we will get you up and running before any (big) stable release.
