Can't delete or edit an HTML block

Using Concrete / Help
1

Hi everyone, I’m new on Concrete CMS and hope I’m posting at the right place.
My problem is that I put an HMTL block to generate my navigation button. Accidentally, I created 2 of them and now can’t delete any.
Normally, it’s very simple. You go over the area and then click to edit the block, but I can’t do it since I created this HTML block.
Any clue how to be able to edit and/or delete this block?
Thanks in advance

I can only assume the HTML in the block is mal-formed in some way so it’s interfering with normal operations. On the offending page, click the gear icon across the top (Page Settings) and choose ‘Versions’. You’ll be presented with a list of saved version with the most recent at the top. Click the three dots next to the one you think is before you added the HTML block(s) and choose ‘Approve’ from the list that pops up. Then do the same for the more recent (broken) versions of the page but choose ‘Delete’. Page versioning is one of concrete’s many blessings.

If your broken HTML is bad enough to prevent @mhawke’s process, you can do similar by finding the page in the dashboard sitemap.

Oh, right, sorry. I hadn’t had my coffee yet when I posted that answer. Do what JohntheFish says.

Thanks a lot guys for your support.
So, I tried what you advised. Unfortunately, it doesn’t impact the navigation area where I have my HTML code :frowning:

Navigation is a global area. You can do a similar change of version in the dashboard global areas section.

Go here
dashboard/blocks/stacks/view_global_areas

find the area and click it. Then click the version history and see the popup.

I found the navigation block, but it didn’t work on changing versions. So, I deleted the block.
At least it worked, but now I wonder how I’ll manage to put my code to get my menu bar :sweat_smile:

Thanks everyone.
I fixed my problem.
I put too many things in my HTML code block (CSS included) while I should have separate the CSS. Now it’s working.

You can add all the css in the theme customizer if you want to centralise it.

Follow this

And then when at the bottom of the customisation panel click the custom css button.
