If a page in your Website Builder project loads its URL but shows only the header and footer with no body content, your project needs to be republished. This happens when pages are created, edited, or regenerated after the last publish — including pages the platform modifies automatically during AI generation runs. A republish restores the missing content.

## ⚠️ Why Published Pages Can Show a Blank Body

When you publish your Website Builder project, Search Atlas generates a live snapshot of every page at that moment. Pages added, edited, or regenerated **after** that last publish are not included in the deployed snapshot — including pages the platform creates or modifies automatically during an AI generation run — and no automatic republish is triggered. The site URL resolves and the shared layout (header and footer) loads correctly, but no body content exists in the snapshot for those pages yet.

Search Atlas engineering has confirmed that automatic republishing after platform-driven page changes is a known gap, and a fix is currently in progress. Until it ships, manually republishing your project is the supported workaround.

## 🔍 How to Confirm This Is Your Issue

Check for all four symptoms on the affected pages:

- The page URL loads without a 404 error.
- The site header and footer render correctly.
- The area between the header and footer is completely blank.
- The affected pages were created, edited, or regenerated (including by the AI agent) after the most recent project publish.

If all four apply, republishing the project will resolve the issue.

## 🔄 How to Fix It: Republish Your Website Builder Project

Republishing forces Search Atlas to regenerate and deploy all pages — including any added, edited, or regenerated since the last publish.

1. Open **Website Studio** from the left sidebar of your Search Atlas dashboard.
2. Select the project with the affected published pages.
3. Click **Publish** or **Republish** in the top-right corner of the editor.

   - **Publish** appears if the project has never been deployed.
   - **Republish** appears if it has been deployed before.
   - Both actions regenerate and deploy all pages.
4. Wait for the green success notification in the top-right of the editor and for the button to return to its idle state — this confirms deployment is complete.
5. Reload the affected URLs in a new private or incognito tab to bypass browser cache, and confirm the body content now appears between the header and footer.

After republishing, all pages — including those created, modified, or regenerated since the previous publish — will render their full body content.

## 💡 When to Republish After Editing Your Project

Republish your project any time you or the platform make changes, including when you:

- Add one or more new pages to the project.
- Make significant content or layout changes to an existing page.
- Update the site-wide header, footer, or layout template.
- Rename or change a page's URL slug.
- Run an AI generation that creates or rewrites pages in the project.

Republishing after each batch of changes ensures the live snapshot always reflects the current state of your project.

## 🛟 Still Not Working? Contact Search Atlas Support

If body content is still missing after a successful republish, or if the republish does not produce a visible website, contact Search Atlas Support. A separate known publish-time issue currently in progress with engineering can, in some cases, affect the result of a republish — the support team can confirm whether your project is impacted and apply the appropriate fix.

When you contact support, include:

- Your Search Atlas account email.
- The Website Builder project name.
- The full URLs of the affected pages.
- The approximate time of your most recent republish attempt.
- A screenshot of the blank page (or the unexpected publish output) if available.

The support team will escalate to engineering and track the issue against the active known-issue tickets so you receive an update when the platform-level fix is released.

**🎯 Republishing your Website Builder project is the fastest way to restore missing body content on published pages, including pages updated automatically by AI generation runs. If pages still appear blank after republishing, contact Search Atlas Support with your project name and the affected page URLs so the team can investigate further.**
