Netlify CMS Not Loading Even After Git Gateway and Identity Setup

Hello Netlify team,

I’ve set up a JAMstack site using Netlify CMS with Git Gateway + Identity.

Everything is configured, but the CMS admin panel remains blank at:

:link: 1000 Home Vibes Admin

:white_check_mark: What I’ve done:

  • Enabled Netlify Identity
  • Enabled Git Gateway
  • Invited my user and accepted
  • Verified that config.yml loads at /admin/config.yml
  • Used the correct admin/index.html with CMS manual init and identity script
  • Re-deployed multiple times
  • Reset Identity and started from scratch

:test_tube: Console error: bootstrap.js:108 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘appendChild’)

:open_file_folder: GitHub Repo:

CMS is blank and I’ve exhausted every possible fix. Please investigate if something is wrong with my site’s backend link to Git Gateway.

Thanks.

@IYAOAA Both Netlify CMS and Netlify Identity are deprecated.

Regarding deprecated features, Netlify state…

We will no longer fix bugs or offer troubleshooting support.

As such you should research and select a different CMS for your project.
