Content area is empty on the frontend, even though content exists in the editor.
Page or Post Shows Blank Content Area
Key Points: You publish a post — but its content area is blank, despite content being saved in the editor.
You see everything in the editor. You hit “View Page”… and there’s a ghost town. No content, no blocks, just white space. It’s as if WordPress forgot how to print.
🚫 Why This Happens
- Theme template missing
the_content()function - Plugin overriding the content display via filters
- Block HTML corrupted or missing wrapper tags
🛠️ How to Investigate
- Switch to a default theme to confirm
the_content()issue - View Page Source and search for block markup
- Temporarily deactivate plugins one by one
⚠️ Dev Note
Custom page templates often omit the content output — always double-check template hierarchy and markup structure.
