Hi Netlify community,
I am a new Netlify user. I just finished creating a blog site with Nextjs and i deployed with Netlify so my blog is now live and it works. I logged in the admin area and i added few pages saved and published but nothing has changed on my actual blog. the config.yml is properly set and all the fields are shown on the cms. I also see all the edits and the added md files in the content folder. But no edits are shown on the live site. Any ideas? Thanks
If your Git repo is indeed updating to show the edits made by CMS, but only Netlify website is not updating, I think you need to check if somehow Netlify and your Git repo are disconnected. This might happen if say you have stopped the builds, or have au-publishing disabled or Netlify isn’t able to access your repo at all.
EDIT: Chances are, your builds might be failing. Have you checked your deploys section?
The github Deploy status badge shows ‘success’ and I don’t see any errors on the deploy log - still non of the edits in the admin cms page are shown on the actual site.
Here is the Deploy log if that helps:

Would you be willing to share your repo?
I just deployed your repo as a new website, enabled Identity and tried to update a post and it worked.
Check first commit: https://600e85ccbc194efcc6ad8164--loving-galileo-902540.netlify.app/2021-01-24-2021-updates
Updated: https://loving-galileo-902540.netlify.app/2021-01-24-2021-updates
And as you can see, haven’t changed anything of your repo: https://github.com/Hrishikesh-K/next-bagaski-blog-main
Would it be possible for you to create a new Netlify website and try the same?
ok thanks i will try that!
so still no luck! I created a new netlify site and i haven’t managed to edit anything even though i go to admin and i have created new blogposts.
this is the new site: https://ecstatic-carson-df47f2.netlify.app/
this is the previous: https://next-bagaski-blog.netlify.app/
and my new site’s admin page with new edits that dont show on the live site…
I hope you don’t mind, I created an account on this new website, to test. However, I’ve no explanation as to why this is happening.
I don’t think so. I used the exact same repo that you shared and didn’t edit a thing, it still worked perfectly. I just added another post to the website I shared and it worked without any hassle.
Can you confirm if those updates are getting committed to your repo? If yes (they probably are), maybe there’s something wrong with your Netlify account and GitHub account’s connection. Can you try manually pushing a change to your GitHub repo and see if Netlify initiates a build? If not, maybe you’d want to disconnect Netlify from your GitHub and add it again.
Can you confirm if those updates are getting committed to your repo?
they do - i updated again the cms and i see the new .md files added in my repo’s content folder.
Can you try manually pushing a change to your GitHub repo and see if Netlify initiates a build?
i just did some changes on my github repository and netlify initiated a build successfully.
Does this new build include the new posts and edits?
so I it seems that i can only make it work when:
i edit the cms -> then i pull the updated repo locally -> i do a new build locally and push to my git repository -> then the updated site is live.
This should not have worked like this. I’m sorry but I’m out of possible reasons why it’s not working for you, especially when the exact same setup is working for me.
Some member from the support team will soon answer.
Heya @bagaski and sorry to hear about the continuing trouble.
I’d like to take a step back - when you build locally, do you see the correct output? You make an edit online, it commits the change, you pull your repo, and you build - are those edits there? The usual cause of these problems is misconfiguration around builds, rather than we’re serving the wrong thing, so I’d like to see a clear delineation between those symptoms so we can make sure we’re debugging the right thing.
You can download a copy of a build here and see what is different, using this icon in our UI:
I’d expect that your build and our build, from the same commit hash, would be the same. If not, it is likely that you have not configured things identically locally and remotely - as described here: Manage build dependencies | Netlify Docs - so do take a look at that and please confirm that you’ve set the same node version and other dependency versions here as locally, before debugging any differences between the local and remote build further.
