Hi I am having problem publishing layout through the Designer Manager.

The error message says nothing at all

Hey @WShek

I’ve copied the code that you’vve modified and tested in a demo theme. I’m not seeing the error that you see. Based on the lack of an error message in the design manager and in a local instance I’d venture to bet this is an fluke error. I would suggest a hard refresh and cache clear. If it persists I would roll the changes back 1 line at a time to see if its a partiacular import or tg that’s causing the issues. But again this might be a fluke.

Kepp us posted as you work through this!

Hi @WShek,

try changing this part:

```lia-code-sample
<!--
 templateType: none
-->

```

to:

```lia-code-sample
<!--
 templateType: page
 label: Base layout
 isAvailableForNewContent: false
-->

```

best,

Anton

Hi @Kevin-C and @Anton , thank you for reply.

I tried @Anton’s solutions. Indeed it allows me to publish but all of my templates are still not appearing when I create a new page.

I have the same theme running on my sandbox and everything is running correctly. I can publish the code without any modification and all of the templates are showing.

Have you made sure that all other templates have a proper “templateType” like page, blog\_listing, blog\_post… and “isAvailableForNewContent” is set to “true”?

best,

Anton

Hi Anton,

upon trying to upload files through github action, I received error about the layout.

The error said cannot update template coz the template is used by live content.

Would you have an idea about it?
