Troubleshooting
Reset the CSS (jiggle it)
When working in v7 you may notice that the design in the builder does not look the same as the design on the live site or that new CSS changes are not taking effect.
A quick troubleshooting step that often resolve this issue is the CSS Jiggle. To perform the Jiggle take the following steps.
Open your WSB v7 and click “Edit Site”
Click into the CSS window, making sure you have the site tab selected.
Once in the window select all CSS, cut, and then paste. (CTRL + A, CTRL + X, CTRL + V)
Now publish your site
These actions will reset the CSS file and force it to update to the current version.
Maps and Forms Positioning
Often you will notice that the published website shows maps and forms in a different position than they appear in the builder.
To fix this, you must use the mouse to position forms and maps. Using the arrow keys, or Shift+arrow key will not display properly on the published site.
Inalterable Buttons
There is a bug that will sometimes prevent the setting menu on a button from opening. There is no known ‘fix’ for this issue, but you can recreate the button. As this will likely be a persistent issue on the site, make sure that you alter all of the settings in your new button before closing your menu.
Broken Forms
You may encounter a form or forms that are missing a submit button, have 2 submit buttons, or have the submit button in the wrong location on the form. Do not waste your time trying to fix this. If you see this issue you must rebuild the from. Likely if you experience this issue on a single page, it will be an issue for any and all forms on the site. Make sure to QA the published site and look for issues with any and all forms.
