Text blocks are hidden on desktop version

Text blocks are hidden on desktop-show on mobile

I created a blank section and added 2 headlines & 2 paragraphs. Looked fine. On the mobile version, all my sections looked awful so I moved a couple around. Didn’t actually touch the “blank” added section. Went back to desktop editor and the text was GONE. Well not really, as it shows up on mobile preview. I can find it all. There was a headline, but the paragraph was “somewhere” else. I had them grouped. Finally found one of the paragraphs hidden behind the next section, ungrouped them and got that set, but now the headline is somewhere behind the section above and the second paragraph is nowhere to be seen. I cannot find a way to FIND them. Any suggestions?

There is an option on the left hand side called the Layers Panel where you can find every element on your page so you should be able to find it there. If you didn’t give the text an easy to identify id name and it is still something like #text460 or whatnot then you probably want to go into mobile view and select the element then check in the layers panel and you’ll know which one the mystery item is. If it has an eye icon with a cross through it then it will be invisible on that breakpoint so make sure that the item is “visible” for desktop, tablet and mobile. If that doesn’t work you can use the Arrange option via the “meatball menu” (3 horizontal dots, I just now looked up what that is actually called and the vertical ones are called the “kebab menu” apparently lol!) to “Bring To Front” so that those missing elements are on top of everything else on the Desktop breakpoint.

Also sometimes you may need to check in the right hand Inspector Panel and check where in the editor the missing element may be in your layout alignment-wise… it could somehow be 500 pixels off screen accidentally and that is why you can’t find it on that breakpoint, it’s moved off screen somehow. Stuff like that occasionally might happen. Make sure it’s set back to 0 in every direction with the docking tools at the very bottom (or you can use the “Align” indicators at the top of the right hand Inspector Panel to make your item snap to left, right, up, down or middle etc…) to make sure it’s not somewhere “off screen” and sitting right in the middle of your page canvas.

If none of that works perhaps there is a bug with that text element and you can re-add a new text element and see if the issue occurs again? Hopefully one of those things will be able to help you out! :smiley:

Thank you that helps
