Activating Views makes all content disappear

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: When I activate Views, all the content on my site disappears.

Solution: Check to be sure no Content Templates are applied to your posts or pages. If an empty Content Template is applied, the page will appear to be empty.

Need to get the custom fields and templates showing on this site with Divi theme. We were using Florida theme and it wasn't;t compatible with Toolset anymore so we switched to Divi, but the same issue occurs. Could you take a look and see what is missing, I am sure it is something small that I just can't see.

Okay I turned on Views and checked the Home Page. It appears that there was a Content Template applied to the page. Here was the Content Template that was applied:
hidden link
If you activate Views, you will be able to see this Content Template in wp-admin. As you can see, it's empty except for a custom field. This is why the content on the homepage disappeared. I edited the Home Page and disconnected the "test" Content Template there. You may want to do the same for other pages after you reactivate Views. You should probably change the usage of that Content Template and disassociate it so it is not applied to new Pages in the future.

Check all your posts and custom post types when you activate Views, and make sure that you have only applied the Content Templates you want to use.
