BlockList phantom item

V13, block list

I have a block list which is used for a carousel. There are clearly 5 items in it as can be seen here

However, when the carousel runs, there are 6, the last item being an early version of the last item with no image and black text. It is impossible to mouse over the “extra” item nor does moving any of them reveal it. No matter what I move it’s always on the end. Is there some way of getting in there programmatically and deleting that last item?

Love the BlockGrid and BlockList but they can be really fiddly sometimes.

Thanks.

That looks like a custom render of the block list item. I’d suggest the way to deal with this would be to adjust your view to display something when you don’t have the image / text so you can focus on it.

Ah, you mean add a “no image” image or just something to cause the preview to expand so it’s grabbable. Good thinking. I’ll try that in the morning. It’s driving me nuts and I’m supposed to demo it in the morning.

Btw, it’s not a custom render, it’s the Block Preview package. Not sure if you’d call that custom or not, lol

Thanks :slight_smile:

Precisely that! Just “something” so you can get a handle on it. I’d class Block Previewer as custom :smiling_face:

Good luck with the demo!

Added a no-image image if there was no image. I can see it in the carousel but not in the back office, So STILL can’t grab hold of it to edit or delete :frowning:

In the end I had to delete all the banners and start again. Even when I’d deleted all the ones I could see in the back office, the phantom one was still there on the front of the site. So I had to totally delete the banner block from the page, add a new one and repopulate. Total pain.
