In my theme I have a GlobalArea. If I add a container in that area, then some blocks in that container, I will find that blocks available only in the page where I added them. On other pages, I can see the container added to the global area, but it hasn’t any block inside. Simple blocks in a GlobalArea (without containers) work well and are shared by all pages. Is this some error with my them, or a bug? thanks Concrete 9.1.1 ---

I am able to reproduce this using the _atomic clone_ theme using php 7.4. To reproduce 1. Add a container to a global area 2. Add a block to the container (notice it highlights green) The expected behavior is the blocks in a container display in Global Area across the site. @baz Are you able to add some more details from Dashboard System & Settings \> Environment \> Environment Information? Do all the containers behave the same? I only tried the highlight container. ---

Further to the above: Navigate to Dashboard \> Stacks & Blocks \> Global Areas In the Global Area editor the Container is visible but it’s not possible to “Add Block” to it. It is also not possible to add a Container to the Global Area (or any Stack) from within the Dashboard. Seems to me that Containers have not been fully integrated into Stacks and Global Areas in this version. ---

This should probably be made issue on github.

Yes this looks like a bug @baz are you able to create a new issue in github? [Issues · concretecms/concretecms · GitHub](https://github.com/concretecms/concretecms/issues) ![image](https://forums.concretecms.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/be460b4c562eb2eb4691a672d90da93684bcb1a3.jpeg) ---

Not seen a bug fix for this yet but a temp solution I have used is to swap out the ContainerArea for Global area in the container php file. Then remove the $container parameter. Allows for a global area with a container made up of global areas. Remember to declare… use Concrete\Core\Area\GlobalArea;
