Why is my blog feed not displaying correctly?

There are a number of reasons why your blog feed may not display correctly:

• Hidden elements or overlapping widgets in the editor:
  Check your editor for any elements or widgets that might be overlapping or obstructing the blog feed. Remove anything covering the feed to ensure it displays properly.

• The blog feed is connected to a hidden or empty blog:
  Ensure your blog is published and contains at least one post. If the blog feed is connected to an empty or hidden blog, the feed won’t display on your site.

• Browser cache or cookies are causing display issues:
  Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then reload your site to fix potential loading or display errors.

Tip: Ensure your site is published and all changes are saved. If you are not ready to publish, use the Preview option to view how your site looks before publishing.
