I asked the bot above. Here’s a the project: elementsapp://downloadDocument/9PXDBxUexytY
Used Typography and set styles. Looks fine in Elements preview, but when previewing in browser locally, it is not right at all. I don’t understand why or even how to start…. (this project is now failing to upload to my server, too - yet another new problem - so I haven’t been able to see if the problem replicates there)
Don’t worry, we’ll help get you back up and running.
First of all, can you show me how it looks in Elements, and how it looks when previewed in the Browser?
Elements preview:
Local web preview:
and here is the one that really is killing me, web server “live” (all content gone, now just the menu):

A little more detail on the web server: the project was 3012 files. 3011 would upload and then one would fail. This was a new problem today, but I don’t know which was the single file failing. I deleted the entire directly contents and republished all files successfully. That’s when everything went blank except the menu. Permissions looks right, but maybe they’re not. I use Cloudflare, but am in development mode, no cache. I’ve checked three different computers, all show the same (not a local cache issue…)
Okay, this is all fixable, don’t panic!
The Typography component is styled using Markdown Syntax, so you’d do something like this in your markdown file (not try and style it inline in Elements).
# H1 Heading
## H2 Heading
Paragraph of text.
If you want to style a single block of text in Elements, you should probably just use the Text Component.
Have you checked your server meets the requirements?
Edit: can you export the project locally and then manually upload the project using Transmit (or similar). See if that works.
Hope that all makes sense, and let me know how you get on!
So these controls in Elements are meaningless (these are what I set that change the preview by selecting text within the Typography component ←- what’s their purpose)?
Server: it had been running the site fine up until today (I upgraded to 1.3 this morning, export issue started then, export works after deleting and starting over, but now the site doesn’t…. I can certainly export locally and try Transmit and see what works at each step).
@dan Exporting locally and moving to server via Transmit works (in progress shows correctly for what I’ve done so far). What might that mean for publishing in 1.3?
No of course not, this is just when using the CMS.
Sounds like all the updated files were’t published. If you run that issue again, you can try using the “Re-Publish All Files” menu option.
Interesting, sorry, lack of understanding on my part on the sequence of how things work behind the scenes. Not a case of “pull in text and format to the component” as much as “pull in formatted text”. Makes sense when you can’t format text when you can’t see it until it is pulled in via CMS! Thanks!
Yup, did this quite a bit (deleted all files, re-published all a few times), didn’t work. Downloading locally and pushing over to the server via Transmit worked and now re-publishing is working.
