page.ly MultiEdit not working? Content not showing up? Here’s a fix! July 21, 2010
I’m using the page.ly MultiEdit plugin (plugin link on WP.org) on a rather large project, and everything was going fine, except for one small problem:
The content wouldn’t show up!
My code was fine. The tabs were displayed on the edit screen. No errors were being returned. I was confused as hell.
But then I figured it out.
So, what was the problem?
I didn’t initiate the WordPress loop!
As soon as I got the loop “if” statement put in place, the MultiEdit content was displaying just fine.
In hindsight, it’s obvious. The MultiEdit plugin works with the loop.
In a nutshell: Make sure the WP loop is in place on your custom page template, otherwise page.ly MultiEdit won’t work.
No loop = no MultiEdit content. Simple, eh?
(Image credit goes to Sarah Gooding, because I’m too lazy to screenshot my own MultiEdit implementation.)
