The “page fields” that I have set up in the module are not working properly, and the website pages called up are sometimes displayed and sometimes not, even though I have indeed set them up.

**■My creation flow**  
1. I create an original module and prepare “page field”. The website page set here is selected and displayed on the front end.

2. I want to enable multiple selection of page fields. Therefore, the “page field” will be repetitive.

3. Put the item to be looped in the “content\_by\_id” function as an argument.

4. Output the looped content as a li tag and call absolute\_url, page\_title and meta\_description.

**■Problem**  
The website pages set in the “module.seminar\_page\_select” page field may or may not be displayed.

For example, only 2 pages appear on the actual front end, even though I have indeed set 4 in the page edit screen.

This is also true in the editor during editing, and the behavior is unstable. I think there were a few times when it worked.

For example, if I set 3 items, there were times when 3 items appeared.

The “module.library\_page\_select” is a page field with the same mechanism, but the display here is normal.

Rather, when “module.library\_page\_select” is updated, the above bug seems to occur more often.

It may be that something is interfering or overriding each other.

This is a mystery, but the JSON information for the pages set in “module.library\_page\_select” does indeed store 3 items.

However, only the first two are actually displayed. In other words, the following “178222335333” is not displayed.

“seminar\_page\_select”: [  
181559445858,  
182462472079,  
178222335333  
],

**■Source code in question**

```lia-code-sample
<ul>
 <li>
 {% if module.library_page_select %}
 <ul>
 {% for library_item in module.library_page_select %}
 {% set library_content = content_by_id(library_item) %}
 {% if library_content %}
 <li>
 <a href="{{ library_content.absolute_url }}">
 <h3>{{ library_content.page_title }}</h3>
 <p>{{ library_content.meta_description }}</p>
 </a>
 </li>
 {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
 </ul>
 {% endif %}
 </li>

 <li>
 {% if module.seminar_page_select %}
 <ul>
 {% for seminar_item in module.seminar_page_select %}
 {% set seminar_content = content_by_id(seminar_item) %}
 {% if seminar_content %}
 <li>
 <a href="{{ seminar_content.absolute_url }}">
 <h3>{{ seminar_content.page_title }}</h3>
 <p>{{ seminar_content.meta_description }}</p>
 </a>
 </li>
 {% endif %}
 {% endfor %}
 </ul>
 {% endif %}
 </li>
</ul>

```

**■Cause?**  
I thought it might be due to the fact that the pages were drafts, not published, but they all had a published status. So the status of the page does not seem to be the cause.

Is something overwriting the page? The one that does not display well is the “seminar\_page\_select” one. There is no case that “library\_page\_select” was not displayed, but when “library\_page\_select” is updated, the articles in “seminar\_page\_select” disappear. (e.g. there should have been 3 articles in the front end, but there are now 2 articles).

This may be because the for loop is not working properly.

Mrs. BérangèreL.

Thank you. I’m trying to approach this problem, but if it doesn’t work, I’d like to take another approach that doesn’t use the page field.

I think the Hubl function “blog\_recent\_posts” can output blogs, but is it possible to get specific website pages (not blogs)?

For example, getting the 5 most recent website pages with the slug /casestudy/.
