Issue: No connect button or CMS

When I’m trying to set up a dynamic page I am not able to connect anything to the CMS. The whole ‘connect’ button isn’t even there. Also when i open my CMS I don’t see my current collections in the editor.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? See the pictures below as examples.

When I’m not in the editor I can actually see my old collections. But I’m not able to do anything with them because that has to be done inside the editor, in which i don’t see them.

Hi @rowengilliam , have you seen this video & written tutorial for the Content Manager in Editor X? https://www.editorx.com/academy/lessons/content-manager
First you must click “Add to Site” and then you can access the Content Manager to set up and connect your dataset. Let me know if this helps.

Same here… exactly the same, no connections available. It keeps asking to add a content manager to site to create a NEW database and there’s no access to already made connections.

Nope, it’s not working today. It’ll just ask you to add a content manager even after you create a new default database. You can’t do anything with the created pages connection wise and if you try to add another database it’ll just ask you to add a content manager again. It’s only been doing this today seemingly, it was fine yesterday for sure.

You can see from Rowen’s screenshot the Connection option on dynamic pages (or any page) isn’t there on any elements for some reason. The only way I could access connections was by “Changing” the image element in a default Wix database repeater I was forced to add and it’ll allow you to access the connection settings that way. Every other element in the default dynamic page such as repeaters and text can’t be connected at all.

You can still create new non default dynamic pages from Dev Mode > Site Structure > Databases and the dataset widget is there and operational on the newly created pages but you can’t connect anything. Weird bug!

Yes, I see this now. Taking a look…

Hi @aaronge , I’ve done exactly that but it keeps telling me to add a content manager. And I don’t get the ‘connect’ option in the action bar even though the collection is made and I can add items and such.

@rowengilliam @themusingsofmaars This should be fixed now. Please take a look and confirm that everything is working for you.

Cheers, it is working now ! :slight_smile:
