Troubleshooting attempted:

Issue: I am unable to see the changes I make to my website’s theme reflected on the live website, even though the changes are saved and visible in the preview section and edit mode.

Website URL: www.ritirivaaz.com

Specific examples:

  • I added a customer testimonial slideshow to the homepage, but it is not visible on the live website.
  • I added a FAQ section with 4 rows using the collapsible content section, but only 3 rows are visible on the live website.

Troubleshooting steps already taken:

  • Refreshed the page
  • Viewed the website in an incognito window
  • Cleared my browser cache
  • Made code changes to the settings.json file as suggested in online solutions, but then reverted the changes

The slideshow in the editor, please note that the section is there as well as on the left in the collapsible content there are four rows:

On the live website:
The whole slideshow section is missing, also in the FAQ section only three rows are visible.

Please help me with this issue.

Hi @ritirivaaz , I see that your website updated (at least for me). Did you managed to find out what was the issue?

I’m having a similar problem.

Thanks,
