I´m building a multisite with two subsites. One of them is already published and working fine, hidden link. Now I have for the most part copied all content templates and views into the second site, using the module manager addon. Views by themselves work correctly, showing their corresponding posts filtered by category-taxonomy. But on the homepage the content template displays only one post, always the most recent one. All other views remain empty, debug mode reporting no results found for each category-filter.

I used the documentation of the module manager addon. Exporting and importing went pretty well, with no reported bugs and each module is usable. I can even see correct filter-results in the backend of the second subsite, only the frontend reports no results found but one post.

The first, already published, subsite is: hidden link … the second one is currently under construction: hidden link

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I tried to view the second website, but it is behind a "coming soon" page.

To troubleshoot this, I'll need to see how this view is being used on the homepage of both these websites.

Can you please share the temporary super admin login details of this multi-site network?

Note: Your next reply will be private and it is recommended to make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar

Hello, thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately I cannot give you admin access to our website, but I'm quiet certain the issue has been resolved anyway.

On further inspection we found that when all views and content templates were exported/imported through module manager, they all brought their category filters with them. And although I changed those settings on all views on the second site, they would still look for the old categories.

I then recreated all views again from scratch and now posts are showing up as expected. Fortunately using the module manager wasn't all for nothing, because content templates were not effected by this and could be used a base for the new views.
