Editor
The page builder: elements, forms, popups and why your page looks wrong on mobile.
Almost everyone arrives here mid-edit with something that will not behave. Read block, element and section first, because the editor's whole vocabulary rests on it and half the confusion below is not knowing which layer you are on. Pages breaking on mobile is the single most common one, and it is a separate view rather than a bug. The rest are specific errors, each with a documented cause.
- Block, element, section: what is the difference? Three of these are parts of a page. The fourth is a saved copy of one.
- What is a master block, and when does it save you hours? A saved block that changes on every page at once, including the pages you forgot about.
- Why does it say "at least one email input is required"? A button is asking for a form. The page has not got one it recognises.
- What is the SEO section of the editor actually for? Six fields, one of which decides whether the page is allowed into Google at all.
- What is a popup trigger, and which one should I use? Five ways to make a popup appear. Three need nothing from the visitor.
- Can I paste in my own HTML, CSS or JavaScript? Yes, in three places. Two of them are boxes, one is an element you drag on.
- What size should my images be? No published page-image size anywhere. The two numbers that do exist are for a favicon and for email.
- Countdown timers: which ones are honest and which are not? Four types on one element. The difference is what a visitor sees on a second visit.
- Can I get an older version of my page back after saving? There is no undo button, and clicking Save is the point of no return.
- Why can't I find the Contact us element in my editor? It is not hidden. It only exists on certain kinds of pages.
- Why doesn't my consent checkbox work on my order form? Two separate systems share one checkbox, and only one of them reaches an order form.
- Why does Facebook show the wrong image when I share my page? The setting is per page, not per funnel, and that alone explains most of these.
- Why isn't my reCAPTCHA showing up on my form? One cause is a missing element. The other is two settings pointing at different domains.
- Why does my survey force people to give an email address? Not a setting you switched on by mistake. It is how answers get linked to anyone at all.
- My custom field isn't showing up in the form editor. systeme.io makes these on the contacts page. You open somebody's record to create one.
