I added a new article but it's not showing up on the site, why?

Understanding the absence of display

Key points • An unpublished article will never appear on the site • CMS filters may exclude a new item • Missing fields or incorrectly configured dynamic sorting will prevent display

You've just created a new item in your CMS collection, but it's not appearing on the published page of your hotel website. This is a common problem and almost always stems from a setting or a missing field. Here are the main reasons and how to fix them.

The first check is to ensure your article is published, not in draft status. If your article is in draft status, it won't appear in your dynamic lists. Open your collection, select the article, and verify that the publish button is enabled.

Next, check the filters applied to your Collection List. For example, if your news page only displays articles with the category "News" or a publication date after today, your new article must meet these conditions. A missing field or an incorrect value will prevent your item from appearing.

💡 Tip: To quickly identify the cause, temporarily remove all filters. If the item reappears, you've found the problem.

Also check the required fields. If your design relies on conditional visibility (for example, displaying a block only if an image is loaded), an empty field can completely hide your article on the published site.

Also check if your list uses pagination. Your new article might be relegated to another page if pagination is enabled and the sort order places it further down the list.

Dynamic sorting can also prevent your article from displaying as expected. If your articles are sorted by descending date but your new article has an incorrect publication date, it may end up somewhere other than expected or even not appear at all if it doesn't match the sort order.

Finally, double-check that you have published the site updates after adding your article. A published CMS change is immediate, but if you have modified the page structure (filters, sorting, design), you must republish the site for the changes to take effect.

Conclusion

If your new article is not appearing on the published site, check its status, filters, required fields, pagination, and sorting. Once these points are adjusted, the article will automatically and correctly display in your dynamic lists.
