Hey there @martinsauter!
Just to clarify, when using the Page List block with 120 pages, you’re experiencing an issue where the Parent dropdown doesn’t display all the pages, correct?
Could you elaborate a bit more on how the 120 pages appear in the Page List block? For example, do you see only a limited number of pages or any specific pages missing from the dropdown? Any additional details, examples or screenshots would be helpful for understanding the issue! Thanks!
Hi Kel
This video illustrates the problem:
Hey @martinsauter! Thank you for sharing the screen recording!
I tested this on my site, which has 119 pages, and everything worked as expected. All the parent and subpages appeared in the Page List block, and I was able to set a parent page without any issues. I tested this using the Twenty Twenty-Four theme and Twenty Twenty-Three theme, and it worked perfectly in both cases.
It looks like the problem might be coming from your current theme or a plugin conflict. To troubleshoot and pinpoint the cause:
- Install and activate the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin.
- After installing and activating, go to WP Admin > Tools > Site Health > Troubleshooting (tab) to enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will let you test your site without affecting what visitors see on the live site.
- In Troubleshooting Mode, you can activate and deactivate plugins or switch themes one at a time. Activate a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Four or another theme different from the current one.
- Then in a new browser tab or window, open the page with the page list. Refresh the page to see if the another theme enabled shows the full list of pages. If yes, contact the theme support to assist you further.
If it’s not theme-related, follow the steps above and enable one plugin at a time. As you enabled each plugin, in a new browser tab, open the page with page list and refresh to check which plugin enabled removes the full page list.
This method should help you narrow down the source of the issue. Let me know how it goes!
I know this procedure, but even with the Twenty Twenty-Four theme activated and all plugins deactivated to problem persists.
But what I’ve just discovered is that the problem manifests itself only in the backend – in the frontend the page list block displays all 119 pages.
Hey Martin,
I’ve tried to replicate the issue, but in my testing, the Page List block displays all 119 pages in both the backend and the frontend without any issues.
To troubleshoot, please check if there are any updates needed for WordPress, your theme, or any plugins. If updates are available, backup your site first to ensure no data is lost, and then proceed with the updates. You can also try accessing the backend using a different browser or in incognito/private mode. Once updated or changed your browser, check again to see if the issue persists.
All components of the website in question are updated to their most recent versions. And the problem persists even without any plugins activated, so an outdated plugin is probably not the cause.
Using a different browser (Firefox instead of Chrome) does not make a difference.
