The feature utilizes a scheduled task system\u00a0in WordPress that we have offloaded to a secondary server in order to optimize the performance of our public website. As a result, this does not work in our WordPress environment. We are working to address this known issue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Content blocks re-arrange when editing an existing page<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have used content blocks to build a page with a flexible, mobile-friendly layout, you may have found that the page elements occasionally re-arrange when you open a page to edit. Typically, a block you expect to find at the top of your page has moved down toward the bottom. Although the element will stay aligned horizontally, this vertical re-arrangement can be frustrating.<br \/>\nWe have two workarounds to cope with this known issue:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Minimize the number of blocks you use on a page. If you are stacking multiple &#8220;rich text&#8221; content blocks together, consider combining the text within a single rich text block.<\/li>\n<li>View the published page in a separate window. The re-arrangement will not affect your published page until you save your changes; if you suspect your content has re-arranged, open the page for viewing in a separate browser window, and you can use that as a guide to move content blocks back into place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UMaine website design\u2014 &#8216;theme&#8217; in WordPress terms\u2014 is complex, and there are known issues you may encounter: Scheduling feature does not work There is a built-in feature in WordPress where you can create a post or page, and schedule it to publish at a date\/time in the future.
