Kentico Editable Text Duplicates Content

Tim Barnett asked on June 23, 2016 23:57

We are current have problems with the Editable Text Web Part which duplicates the content when saving the document. We are using the Kentico 9 version.

Anyone have an idea why is this happening?

This is most likely happening because of one of two reasons:

  • page template inheritance is set incorrectly
  • there are orphaned webpart contents in the document. Go to the page and click on the General tab of the properties and scroll to the bottom. Click the Edit regions and webparts button in the Advanced section. Check the names/id's of the items there and compare them to your webparts IDs on the page template. If you find duplicate data, just remove one of them.

Hi @Brenden,

I got same problem with Kentico 10. I'm using Editable Text in master page template. I've checked all webparts in Design tab, in Edit regions and webparts and in Webparts tab of the template, they're all same. A notice is only webparts in 1 Webpart Zone have this issue. Other webparts (editable text) in other Webpart Zone are working just fine.

Everytime I save the page, the webpart adds up its content, separated with previous content by a comma. Ex: I add an editable text to the zone with content: abc. After I click Save, the webpart content becomes abc, I click Save again, the webpart content will become abc,abc

Appreciate if you can advise something.

This is my master template layout. If I move ZoneD out of nav (still under header), the issue is gone. Or if I move whole nav (include ZoneD) out of header, the issue is gone. Anyone have any idea :D Thanks

    <!--Header-->
<header>
  <nav id="top-menu" class="bg-primary hidden-sm-down">
    <div class="container">
      <div class="row flex-items-xs-middle">
        <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-8">
          <a class="contact-item contact-item-phone" href="tel:+842873005577">24/7 : (028) 73 00 55 77</a>
          <a class="contact-item contact-item-email" href="mailto:info@abc.vn">info@abc.vn</a>
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-4 top-menu-right">
