Blog Post Disappears after clicking edit via Edit Contribution webpart
I have a blog post listing page that allows authenticated users to edit blog posts via the "edit contribution" web part. It works fine except when the user clicks the edit button created from the "edit contribution" web part, the postback causes the actual blog post itself to disappear when the page reloads. I get the "No record found text:" message that but below that the edit form is there and the data is populated correctly in the edit form. If I close the edit form, the blog post details come back. Any idea what is going on here? Does the "Document types:" under the "Content filter" section need to include something additional when "edit contribution" web part is used and if so what is that document type? Or am I missing something else all together? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the update. Good to hear it works now, anyway it's quite strange. Something could be caused by caching or content scheduling/publishing, site view mode (preview vs. live), etc. The Document types filter should be ideally specified to select required document type only, in case of the blog post it's by default the CMS.BlogPost document. Also the Path property may have some influence on the result, e.g. when the contribution web part resides in different path...
To reveal the exact cause of the previous behavior, we would need more details and ideally have a regularly reproducible setup in our environment. So, if you spot the issue again, please let us know.

Thanks and regards,
Zdenek
