Kentico 13 MVC - Editable Zone not rendering on Master Page

Chandni Negi asked on September 16, 2025 09:56

Hello DevNet community,

I'm working with Kentico 13 MVC and using a master page (_XYZMaster.cshtml) with a page template that inherits from it.

I've added an editable-area tag helper for a logo (< editable-area area-identifier="LogoZoneArea" / >) within the master page's header. The goal is to allow content editors to manage the logo directly in the Page Builder.

SO, the < a > tag for the logo appears in the HTML, but the editable zone is not rendering its content. It's completely empty.

something like this I added

< header > < a class="navbar-brand" href="..." > < editable-area area-identifier="LogoZoneArea" / > < /a > < /header >

I do not believe editable areas are able to be put in your "master" _Layout.cshtml file. That tag helper needs to be associated with a page type view, widget view, or view component view that has page builder enabled.
