If you are experiencing blank spaces on a CMS page in Webflow despite having both the main image and headline text in each publication, there are several potential causes for this issue. Here are some possible reasons and solutions to consider:

  1. Missing content in the CMS: Double-check that you have entered the correct main image and headline text for each publication in the CMS. Make sure that you haven't accidentally left these fields empty or assigned the wrong content.

  2. Styling conflicts or errors: Investigate whether there are any conflicting styles or errors in your CSS or interactions. Sometimes, conflicting styles or incorrect positioning can cause content to appear blank or hidden. Check for any conflicting margins, paddings, or display settings that may be affecting the visibility of your main image and headline text.

  3. Conditional visibility settings: In Webflow CMS, you can set conditional visibility for certain elements based on specific criteria. It's possible that you have unintentionally set conditional visibility settings on your main image or headline text, causing them to disappear based on certain conditions. Review the conditional visibility settings of these elements and ensure that they are configured correctly.

  4. Ad blockers or browser extensions: Ad blockers and browser extensions can sometimes interfere with the display of certain content, including images and text. Try loading the CMS page in an incognito or private browsing window, which typically disables these extensions, to see if the issue persists. If the blank spaces disappear, it's likely that an extension or ad blocker is causing the problem.

  5. CMS collection filter settings: Check if you have applied any filters to your CMS collection list. If you have set up a filter that filters out certain publications based on specific criteria, it's possible that the main image and headline text are not meeting the filter requirements and therefore not being displayed. Review your collection filter settings and adjust them accordingly.

  6. Layout or grid issues: Blank spaces can sometimes be caused by layout or grid issues. Make sure that your content is properly positioned within the layout grid, and that the grid settings are correct. Check for any overlapping elements or missing grid areas that could be causing the blank spaces.

By considering these possible causes and implementing the corresponding solutions, you should be able to resolve the issue of blank spaces appearing on your CMS page in Webflow.
