CMS MD files

I wonder if you can help. I managed to get CMS working on my site to display gigs from md file. The files i create in elements (New Markdown File) display fine. Ive batch converted md files from a spreadsheet with chatgpt as i have a round 80. Dropped them in and they dont display. The item.s are the same.

any ideas?

Can you provide a sample of one of the markdown files that isn’t working?

2026-02-18-test-show2.md (339 Bytes). This one works and was generated by elements

2026-02-27-the-institute-braintree.md (341 Bytes) this one doesnt

I really feel for you — I truly mean that.

I’m also having quite a few issues with the Markdown files, especially with the output of the related items. Sometimes it works, and then with exactly the same frontmatter in the Markdown file — just different content — it suddenly doesn’t.

Your frontmatter is actually still quite simple.

In general, both files look “normal” and should work. It would probably help a lot if you could upload your project to Elements Cloud and share the link. Then we could take a closer look and see if something else might be misconfigured. Alternatively, screenshots of your CMS setup would also help.

My suspicion is that the CMS parser can’t properly read certain Markdown files for some reason. Why that happens would likely need Ben to investigate. But if you can, please share your project first — then I can take a look as well.

I think ive found this issue….Chatgtp had me running round in circles…..i had the filter set to past dates!!! Lesson learnt there!!!
