 * It seems I can not add multiple content block to new pages. I haven’t used it
   for a while and not sure if it’s connected to the fact of updating to newest 
   version of wordpress. Unless there is something wrong with the code:
 *     ```
       <aside id="column1">
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <p><?php the_block('Sidebar quote'); ?></p>
   
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <p><?php _e(''); ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       </p>
       </aside>
       ```

 * P.S. Everything seems to be fine on previously created pages.

 * What version are you using? If it’s the latest version: can you try go to Settings-
   > Multiple content blocks and disable “HTTP Requests”?
 * You should be able to visit the page in the front-end and the extra editor will
   show up.
 * Another solution: your new page should already be published if you do want to
   use HTTP Requests.

 * Yes, it is the newest version of wordpress. Tried to disable HTTP Requests – 
   still the same. Also I’ve checked with already published page as that was what
   I needed in the first place. I wanted to add some content where was empty before.
   Editor is gone. Funny enough I tried edit pages where there was content in the
   second block before, and thre were no problems at all.
 * If it’s any help the link to website is : [http://www.designstest.co.uk/](http://www.designstest.co.uk/)
   all pages are based on reallt simple index.php
    Code for it:
 *     ```
       <?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); get_header(); ?>
       <aside id="column1">
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <p><?php the_block('Sidebar quote'); ?></p>
   
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <p><?php _e('Not here'); ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       </p>
       </aside>
   
                   <article class="column2">
                   <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       			<?php if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
       	<h1 style="display: none; height= 0px;"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   
       <?php } else { ?>
       	<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       <?php } ?>
        <p><?php the_content('Custom text to go here'); ?></p>
                    <?php endwhile; else: ?>
       <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?><?php endif; ?>
       <?php /* Bottom post navigation */ ?>
       <?php global $wp_query; $total_pages = $wp_query->max_num_pages; if ( $total_pages > 1 ) { ?>
                       <div id="nav-below" class="navigation">
                           <div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link(__( '<span class="meta-nav">&lsaquo;&lsaquo;</span> Older posts', 'SRPrint' )) ?></div>
                           <div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link(__( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rsaquo;&rsaquo;</span>', 'SRPrint' )) ?></div>
                       </div><!-- #nav-below -->
       <?php } ?>
   
       </p>
                   </article>
   
                   <div class="clear"></div>
                   <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```

 * Hi
 * I have same problem with new articles, but when I publish article so then I can
   edit MCB blocks. I try to enable/disable settings, but those doesn’t help our
   problem. Now we don’t get wp_remote_get-error, so that’s is fixed new version.
   I use newest MCB and WP versions.

 * It seems it only does not work in blog (news) page. Everything seems fine in 
   static pages.

 * Hi Ilves.com admins and Silvi,
 * Your problems are not related.
 * **Ilves.com**
    MCB cannot know what blocks there are on a non-published article.
   I’m working on a way this might work, but didn’t have time just yet. So an article**
   has to be published** before this plugin knows what blocks you want to use.
 * A workaround is to disable HTTP requests and and click ‘Preview post’ when it’s
   not published yet. Hope this helps.
 * **Silvi**
    MCB uses $post (the global variable WordPress uses to define the current
   post) when defining what page is being viewed. However on the ‘blog’ page, WordPress
   doesn’t put this blog page in $post. So MCB doesn’t know that there are additional
   blocks on the news page.
 * There is a way to know, but it’s not built in at the moment. It’s on the list.
 * You can try something like this as a workaround (if the page name is “News”):
 *     ```
       <?php
         $old_post = $GLOBALS['post'];
         $GLOBALS['post'] = get_page_by_title('News');
         the_block('Sidebar quote');
         $GLOBALS['post'] = $old_post;
       ?>
       ```

 * Thank you very much but it did not work. It’s probably because I use it wrong.
   I guess I will just find the way around it and will wait for new version 🙂
 * Thanks again.
