I think I accidentally disabled a block.

I have this header

There’s a block to the right of the banner logo that used to work. It used to be a text block for TEXT LOGO but now the block doesn’t exist. How can I restore that?

I recall seeing an editor that gave me a graphical view of the block layout for a td template but I can’t find it now. I believe that’s how I disabled that block.

Thanks. I tried your advice. Here’s a screen shot.

but the home page still looks like this:

Is there an editor that would let me see/manipulate the blocks within that container?

I’m back on this problem. In Chrome’s Inspector, the block is there. It’s just not visible.

<div class="td-header-ad-wrap td-ad-m td-ad-tp td-ad-p">
<div class="td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-header td_uid_1_5d34c16c4662e_rand td_block_template_1"><span class="td-adspot-title">TEST </span>
<div class="td-all-devices">


</div>
</div>
</div>


The image URL is good so this points to a possible CSS issue with block visibility.

Another observation: the div td-header-sp-rec,which is the parent div to the above, is showing a size of 728×0. That could explain why nothing is visible in that block. What would cause this?


<div class="td-header-sp-rec">
<div class="td-header-ad-wrap td-ad-m td-ad-tp td-ad-p">
<div class="td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-header td_uid_1_5d34cdb15827f_rand td_block_template_1">
<span class="td-adspot-title">TEST </span>
<div class="td-all-devices">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I believe that’s what I have:

This is a screen shot to prevent the browser from interpreting the HTML in that block. Nothing appears in that block including the “TEST” title.

I don’t run a cache plugin nor a CDN and I’ve completely cleared the caches on both Chrome and Firefox on my Mac many, many times and still nothing appears in that block. But if I load Firefox on my Linux box which has never accessed the site before, the block appears. The header appears to be cached somewhere but I don’t know where.

I just found that the header works on Mac Safari too, which I also never use and which has never accessed the site before now.

I even changed that ad link to another image and Chrome and Firefox on the Mac aren’t picking it up.

So, this is what I see locally on my Mac using three different browsers.

Chrome

Firefox

Safari

The only difference is that I never use Safari. It only saw the site after I enabled the new image. This tends to point to some stale CSS or object that’s been cached on the first two browsers which is getting re-served to them when they visit the site even after the browser caches are cleared. But I have no cache plugins.

Using Chrome Inspector shows that the sites which DON’T show that image have a td-header-sp-rec DIV of 728×0. Those which DO show that second image have a td-header-sp-rec DIV of 728×114.
