No content in new blocks

[peterrodger]

I just created 3 new blocks in an existing template (Ambience).  I followed the guidelines in creating the entries in info.php, placing the divs in the correct place in index.php and creating a style for each in screen.css.

I then created a new page using one of the new content blocks and added an image and some text.  Neither the image nor the text are displayed on the page.  I checked the page source and all three content blocks do exist and they do have an attached style - but no content.

When I inspect the element I see this... <div class="topimage" style="outline: 1px solid rgb(255, 0, 0);"></div>

I'm wondering if I should have created the new content blocks outside of WB, then created a new zip file of the template and then uploaded it.

Any thought or ideas will be welcome.

Did you set the content section to use that block? I mean in the Section settings of the page.

Yes thanks, I did set the section to what I thought were the correct blocks, but just discovered this morning, after hours of fruitless searching, that I had the block numbers out of step with the numbering in the info.php file!!

Once I fixed that everything was fine, but it's amazing how something so simple can elude you for days in spite of going over it again and again.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I'm glad it all worked out!
