Can you post the code for the front page? I usually get this error if I’ve missed a @endif or something like that. Are you getting any errors? Are you running Trellis? Is WP debug enabled? --- ## Post 3 by @inghariuc — 2026-04-14T13:37:37Z I have enabled wp debug and getting this error message: **Notice** : Function \_load\_textdomain\_just\_in\_time was called **incorrectly**.

How are you hosting this if not with Trellis? If you remove everything from your front page, does it load? --- ## Post 11 by @inghariuc — 2026-04-15T09:59:30Z It does load when I remove product show case.

This is a notice, not a fatal error. It won’t cause a white screen. You can safely ignore it for now. Since you’ve isolated the issue to the product showcase, we know exactly where the issue is hiding. Rebuilding the whole homepage would be overkill, we just need to see what that error actually says. Open your `wp-config.php` file and add these lines right above the `/* That's all, stop editing! */` line: ``` define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);` ``` Refresh your home page once, then check your `/wp-content/` folder for a file named `debug.log`, copy and paste whatever’s in there here. That file will tell us exactly what’s broken. Once we see it we can fix it properly. Optionally if you’re comfortable using the command line, run these two commands in your theme folder to make sure it’s not just a stale cache issue: - `wp acorn view:clear` - `wp acorn optimize:clear` If the command line stuff feels like a headache, don’t sweat it. Just get those log lines and we’ll go from there. --- ## Post 13 by @inghariuc — 2026-04-16T09:03:31Z > [@RachidBray](#): > > ``` > define('WP_DEBUG', true); > define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); > define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);` > ``` [16-Apr-2026 09:02:52 UTC] PHP Notice: Function \_load\_textdomain\_just\_in\_time was called **incorrectly**.

Just those two lines? If so, can you also check this folder: ``` /wp-content/cache/acorn/logs/ ``` Sage uses its own logging system and the actual error might be sitting in there instead. --- ## Post 16 by @inghariuc — 2026-04-16T09:31:09Z there is no acorn folder --- ## Post 17 by @RachidBray — 2026-04-16T11:35:22Z There must be an error log somewhere, but anyway the most common issue with ACF blocks in Sage is a Blade syntax error inside the block template, a single missing `@endif`, an unclosed `{{ }}`, or an undefined variable. Let’s test this, go to: ``` resources/views/blocks/ ``` Look for a `.blade.php` file that sounds like it’s related to the Product Showcase. Make a quick backup of the file first, just download it to your computer before touching anything. Then temporarily replace all of its content with this: ```

It's working.

Block Loaded Successfully

``` Then reload your homepage, if it loads, we know the issue is inside that template and we can dig into it properly. Can’t find the blocks folder or a .blade.php file? That means the block might be registered a different way. Also, and I know I mentioned this before but you didn’t get back to it, sometimes this kind of error simply disappears by just clearing sage’s cache. If you have SSH access and your host allows it, it’s worth trying: ``` wp acorn view:clear wp acorn optimize:clear ``` --- ## Post 18 by @inghariuc — 2026-04-16T13:40:44Z ![Screenshot 2026-04-16 at 14.36.07](https://discourse.roots.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a29b1a8940861d4fa9821c16a158ae638799c29f.png)This is all I have in the views folder. theme is wrath. --- ## Post 19 by @Tetrahedrax — 2026-04-16T13:49:43Z Presumably “home” is what’s being used by the front page.

Can you paste its contents here? The Product Showcase is an ACF block and it’s been added directly through the WordPress editor on the homepage. And since the homepage works fine when the block is removed, we know for sure that’s our culprit, not the homepage. --- ## Post 22 by @RachidBray — 2026-04-16T14:34:44Z The thing is, the block’s template file must be registered somewhere, either in a plugin, a mu-plugin, or somewhere inside your theme, but without being able to look at the files directly it’s going to take an eternity to track down. Honestly, without a closer look this is getting complicated to debug remotely. --- ## Post 23 by @inghariuc — 2026-04-16T16:33:41Z would you like a login? --- ## Post 24 by @RachidBray — 2026-04-16T17:04:33Z Please don’t post any logins here. If you can, the safest way is to create a staging/clone of your site and send those details instead. To keep things extra secure, you can put the login info into [OneTimeSecret](https://onetimesecret.com/) and send me the link in a private message --- ## Post 25 by @Tetrahedrax — 2026-04-17T06:47:37Z Indeed, I’m mostly just curious why it would work if he creates an exact copy of the page and not on the home page.
