Resolving publishing errors

Publishing a site with errors or missing content can significantly impact user experience.

To prevent this, Framer blocks site publication if errors are detected. While this safeguard might seem inconvenient, it ensures your site functions as intended, avoiding issues like misconfigured forms going unnoticed during high traffic periods.

Some errors, particularly those related to third-party code components or custom code, can be resolved easily. Others may require assistance from our support team. If you experience persistent issues, please reach out through our Community Support channel, and we will assist you promptly.

Common error messages and solutions

Component too large

If you receive an error message like Blog Pages Too Large, it indicates that the size of your web page or smart component exceeds optimal limits, which can harm performance. To resolve this, consider breaking down large SVGs or extensive sections into smaller smart components. This strategy can enhance load times and overall site performance, ensuring a smoother experience for your visitors.

Component missing

A warning like Ticker Missing indicates that a necessary component cannot be found. This often happens when a custom code component, relied upon by other components or pages, has been deleted. To resolve this issue, restore the deleted component code or remove its instances from your project. After restoring the component, modify one of its properties and preview the changes to ensure it functions correctly and is fully integrated into your site.

Component on web page/component in Smart Component

Errors such as Particles on Home or Particles in Custom Card indicate potential issues with the Particles component that could hinder your site's functionality. To resolve this, ensure all external components are updated to their latest versions and examine custom code components for any errors, debugging them as needed. If you encounter connectivity issues, try reloading your project, as this may impact component loading and performance.

Code override missing

This error occurs when a code override set on a layer is missing, which can happen if the override was deleted or an external override was updated. To resolve this, restore any deleted overrides or remove those that are no longer necessary or relevant. Ensuring that all overrides are correctly implemented will help maintain the integrity and functionality of your project.

Invalid code override

An invalid code override error means that the code override contains errors that prevent the web page or smart component from functioning properly. To address this, debug and resolve errors in local code overrides using the code editor. For external code overrides, consider removing them or contacting the override owner for assistance. This will help ensure that all components function as expected.

Cannot load collection

This error indicates that a CMS Collection required by a web page or smart component cannot be found, which might occur if the collection was deleted or if there are other errors. Verify that the CMS Collection exists and is functioning as intended. If issues persist, reaching out to support for assistance can help resolve the problem and restore full functionality to your site.

Form not configured

The form not configured error suggests that a form in your project lacks configured destinations, which may prevent it from receiving submissions. To fix this, click the error message to navigate to the form and ensure all destinations are correctly configured. Properly setting up form destinations will help ensure that your site can capture and process submissions effectively.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively troubleshoot and resolve publishing errors in Framer, ensuring a seamless and functional site for your users. If you need further assistance, our support team is always ready to help.
