Question:
Why are placeholder texts like {groupName} and { count, plural, one {{count} Comment} other {{count} Comments} } showing up instead of rendering actual data in my Wix Groups posts?
Product:
Wix Editor – Wix Groups feature
What are you trying to achieve:
I’m trying to create a functional group post interface where users can see the actual group name, comment count, and view count. These values should be dynamically rendered from the group or post data, not displayed as raw placeholder code.
What have you already tried:
- Refreshed the page multiple times.
- Checked if the issue persists on both desktop and mobile.
- Verified whether the placeholders work correctly in Editor Preview mode.
- Reviewed the data binding and settings within the Groups section.
- Looked through Wix Help Center and community forum posts, but haven’t found anything relevant to this specific issue.
Additional information:
This issue started appearing suddenly, without any manual changes from my end. It seems to be affecting multiple posts within Groups. Attached is a screenshot of the issue for reference.
If it’s related to a recent update or change in the Groups backend, I’d like to know how to fix or work around it, especially since the platform is in active use by members.
