Can't edit pages in Kentico Xperience 13

Blake Harriman asked on April 22, 2024 22:09

I'm inheriting a Kentico 13 project and I'm confused as to how I am supposed to edit pages. I had no issue doing this in Kentico 10 as I could go to the design or master page tabs and edit the layouts, but here there doesn't seem to be this option. I can't do anything on the page tab and there is nothing in the content tab that I can use to edit the page either. Going to the corresponding page type, there doesn't seem to be anything there I can use to edit the HTML or CSS of the page either unless I'm missing something.

There is a page builder for parts of some of the pages, but it's not available for other parts of the page that I want to edit. I've never used Kentico 13 before so this is all new to me and I haven't found the documentation very helpful so far.

If you mean the page builder and adding/editing widgets on the Page tab, then yes - the developers must prepare the front end app's MVC code for this. The difference is the separation of the presentation (live site) and administration apps. Now, you have the full control over the presentation app and your developers need to develop the live site app using MVC code.

Since the actual web site is now served by a separate application and not by Kentico, the concepts have changed. I would recommend consulting the official documentation and/or use the available training services.

Hi Blake, we sometimes experience this problem as well due to caching issues. Make sure third party cookies are accepted within your browser and try to delete cache/cookies and reload the page. This often works with our users.

So is this documentation saying that pages need to be setup by developers in C# in a way that allows those sections to be editable? So, in my case, I somehow need to get access to that code and change it so the page type or page template that a Page uses is editable in those areas?
