Always blank page as result

I'm busy converting an existing website to a webshop. The website uses the old template structure which needs to be converted to the new designs & layouts.

So far i've done the following:

- Created a new master template (in the designs folder)

- Created a new page template (in the designs folder)

- I've selected a layout under management center > designer > frontpage

- I've selected a layout under the properties of the homepage

- Created some content on the homepage.

After walking through the steps above I've opened the website locally on my development machine. However, no matter what page i'm approaching i'm always seeing a blank one! The only exception in this is the 404-page. This is the only one working when I try to open a non-existing url. All existing urls in the website are returning me a blank page.

If I open the designs folder in windows explorer, to check the parsed files I can see the parsed files containt output as expected. The website is on core 19.2.9.0.

Attached a zip file with some screenshots to make an impression of the results. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Rob,

Could there be an issue with your paragraph templates? When you look in the source of the page in the browser, what do you see? Can you upload your Designs folder?

Hi Imar,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately the source is empty. I've also tried the standard condition templates, which gave the same results.
I'm really thinking it's something obvious, but can't figure out what it is. Attached the designs folder, hope you can help!

Are you building this on top of the existing site or did you create a new solution? I tested your designs and they work for me on a clean install (had to choose a paragraph template first and then it looked OK to me).

Is the site available on-line somewhere?

Hi Imar,

It's an existing site to which i'm adding shop functionality.

The current website is running at www.winfactory.com, in the mean time i'll create a staging environment for you.

Hi Imar,

The site is available to you at http://winfactory.staging2.innovadis.com/
I'm very curious if you can find something.

This is really odd indeed.

Did you also upgrade the Global.asax and Default.aspx files? Try (temporarily) replacing them with the standard ones. Looks like some code is not being executed at all....

Hi Imar,

No didn't replace that one, good tip! Just updated those files and the website seems to be running now.

Thanks for the good help!

There have been some changes in the way the content is rendered and the pages are set up. Good to hear it's now fixed.

Cheers,

Imar
