The first thing I would do is go to the very top content node > republish entire site, to rebuild the cache. Though I see the latest news pulling on the news page so that might not do it.

Are you querying the news articles differently on the news page vs the homepage besides limiting the query to the latest?

Hi Amir

So below is the code I managed to dig out for the homepage. i am not sure if this is useful!

<div class="two-blocks intro-blocks">
@if (Model.Article != null)
{
    <div class="left">
        <div class="inner-grid">
            <a class="latest-news-wrapper" href="@Model.ArticleLink">
            <div class="inner latest-news">
                <span class="top-title">@umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Home.IntroductionAndSearch.LatestNews")</span>
                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleTitle))
                {
                    <label>@Model.ArticleTitle</label>
                }
                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleText))
                {
                    <p>
                        @Model.ArticleText
                    </p>
                }
                @if (Model.ArticleDate != null && Model.ArticleDate > DateTime.MinValue)
                {
                    <span><i class="ico icon-calendar-white"></i>@Model.ArticleDate.ToString("dd MMMM yyyy")</span>
                }
                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleLink))
                {
                    <a href="@Model.ArticleLink" class="read-more">@umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Home.IntroductionAndSearch.ReadMore")
                    </a>
                }
            </div>
            </a>
        </div>
    </div>

enter code here

Hi,

Go through and check each article has a "link" - there is probably a custom field that's not set on one of the articles that is making it blow up.

You can also try replacing that code above with:

    <div class="two-blocks intro-blocks">
@if (Model.Article != null)
{
    <div class="left">
        <div class="inner-grid">
            <a class="latest-news-wrapper" href="@(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleLink) ? Model.ArticleLink : "#")">
            <div class="inner latest-news">
                <span class="top-title">@umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Home.IntroductionAndSearch.LatestNews")</span>
                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleTitle))
                {
                    <label>@Model.ArticleTitle</label>
                }
                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleText))
                {
                    <p>
                        @Model.ArticleText
                    </p>
                }
                @if (Model.ArticleDate != null && Model.ArticleDate > DateTime.MinValue)
                {
                    <span><i class="ico icon-calendar-white"></i>@Model.ArticleDate.ToString("dd MMMM yyyy")</span>
                }
                @if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.ArticleLink))
                {
                    <a href="@Model.ArticleLink" class="read-more">@umbraco.library.GetDictionaryItem("Home.IntroductionAndSearch.ReadMore")
                    </a>
                }
            </div>
            </a>
        </div>
    </div>

If you have access to the file system try looking in the logs (App_data\logs - look for the most recent file, refresh the page and then look at the last error).

I'm confused now, is it erroring out or just pulling the wrong article?

Hi guys. The error is that the latest article is not being pulled in, its from March. Thats is the issue

Yep, that's what I thought. So I think the code you've found isn't what actually picks the article, but what renders the abstract of the article because it doesn't show how the article is actually picked or sorted. Is there a news article picker on the homepage? Are you using the grid editors? A screengrab of your setup would be helpful.

Hi guys.

Thank you for youe help, it has actually helped me get to the bottom of it!

Our client was adamant it was autopopulating so we went in looking for code that would do that.

So I started to make a video to show you our setup on the backend, and as I was making it, there it was. A picker!

So yes, not automatic, but you choose the document or url I guess!

Thank you once again!

is working on a reply...
