help! My articles in the "classes" category have lost their formatting!

mamadesign

I did some site optimization and enabled and then disabled a couple of "Joomla site optimizers" because they basically did nothing to help with speed. But in the process, something broke and now my pages don't look the same. The extra fields are still in the backend and intact, but the page isn't displaying them any more and I don't know how to get them back. HELP!!

I should also include that part of the optimization was to "minify" the CSS, which I'm guessing was the culprit. I just thought it would all be restored when I removed the plugin.

Hi mamadesign
I see the page loading fine now, it's not broken. It could be your browser cache.
I checked and I think you used Joptimizer component. I checked the cache and it still loads this cache. I already cleared all cache.

Please check again and let me know if everything is good now.

Best regards,

That part of the page loads fine. But the elements that are in the "extra field" tab of the article, that is specific to the "classes" category, are not showing up. You can see the demo page here.
https://ja-boxing.demo.joomlart.com/index.php/classes/group-boxing

There is a video that should show up near the top, the section "what to bring", and then the featured video/photo with bullets at the bottom. On the demo page it is called "Typical Boxing Exercises". I have these fields populated in the extra field tab of the article but they are no longer showing up on the page. The things that are currently showing on the page should be in between these other things.

Hi mamadesign,

Found it - this is a known Joomla core bug (5.4.7), not your optimizer/CSS: article-level
"Options" get silently ignored on the frontend, so the Classes extra-field layout falls back to
default. Not fixed in an official release yet (5.4.8 not out).

Two options:

1/ Wait for Joomla 5.4.8 - safest, no manual changes.
2/ Apply the fix now: replace one core file -
components/com_content/src/Model/ArticleModel.php - with the patched version:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joomla/joomla-cms/00e3bdd143b50a96af0d5e8d747e2066ffbb376e/components/com_content/src/Model/ArticleModel.php
⚠️ Back up your current file before overwriting it, in case you need to revert.
Let us know if you'd like a hand applying it.

Thank you so much!! You're brilliant! It took a few minutes to show up, I guess that cache I had to setup for site optimization LOL. It's working great now. Thanks again for all your help!

Hi mamadesign,

You're very welcome, glad it's all working now! Yeah, that stale cache after enabling site optimization would do exactly that. Feel free to reach out if anything else comes up.
