Page not showing in Perch

Hi,

I have a page in a subfolder that is not showing up in the 'backend' of Perch.

I have included perch on this page and made sure the filepath to the runtime is correct etc.

I also have valid perch content on this page etc.

Why is Perch not recognising this?

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated so thanks in advance, Sam

I hope my question is clear: I have added perch to the page ie

<?php include('/perch/runtime.php');?>

I have an perch content on the page ie

<?php perch_content('Terms'); ?>

My page is still not showing up in Perch? And ideas?

If the page is in a subfolder, try:

<?php include('../perch/runtime.php'); ?>

Do I have to add it as a new page?

My setup is really simple I have a one-page website all working fine in Perch, now I have a page in a subfolder and I want to have an editable region on that page.

It seems the Add New Page button is for creating a page but my page already exists...

Shouldn't have to add the page as it appears when Perch picks up the content region.

Have you visited/refreshed the page before checking it shows up in the Perch admin?

I'm glad you said that as that's how I thought it worked!

Yep I have saved the file and refreshed perch etc. but still just the homepage showing up :-?

Here's how it normally works:

Add perch runtime (pages in subfolders need the "../" for each folder level):

<?php include('../perch/runtime.php'); ?>

Add the region:

<?php perch_content('Terms'); ?>

Go to the live page and refresh to pick up the content region and runtime (the terms content the the content region replaced should now be missing from the page).

Go to the Admin and refresh the "Pages" tab

New page appears with content region listed for you to edit.

Thanks so much for your time and help Mark! Yep thats exactly how I understand it too :)

Let me ask, is there anyway of me checking that the page is pulling in the runtime.php file correctly maybe using a dev tools inspector etc?

Best, Sam

Not sure Sam, sorry. Hopefully someone a bit more PHP savvy can answer that for you.

The only other thing I can think of might be to check you've changed the page filetype from "name-of-page.html" to "name-of-page.php"?

I know I've spent hours on that simple mistake in the past! It's got to be something really simple, guaranteed!!

Haha, Yeah I've done that before too but just double checked it to make sure!

Thanks for your time Mark I really appreciate it, I'm sure Drew or another member of the Perch team will be able to aid me further soon.

Thanks again, Sam

Can we please see your Diagnostics Report from under Settings in the Perch Admin plus the code of your page as it is now. Your initial runtime include was incorrect as you can't have root relative PHP includes.

Firstly Perch is very out of date. We offer support for the latest version of our software so the first thing to do is to make sure you are running the latest version of Perch and Blog.

Let us know once you have upgraded if you are still having the same issue.

I understand that Perch is out of date, but bearing in mind I have put a lot of time into trying to get some support could you let me know if my .php document is in proper shape and do you think upgrading Perch will fix anything or is it just your policy and I need to upgrade before I seek further support?

I can't see anything obvious, so if we're to help you debug the issue then it needs to be the latest version of our software as that is what we would be using to reproduce the issue.
