"This Site is assigned to a block"

4

I'm trying to delete a site and start from scratch because some of the odd behavior I'm seeing (and because I've learned a little more). However, I cannot delete the site. When I try, I get an Alert message that says "This Site is assigned to a block". I've looked at the blocks, and can't see how to find which one is assigned to the site. I don't remember doing this either, but I've poked around enough the past few weeks that it's possible. 


Any clues on how I can find the block that's assigned?

    I would try something like this:

    {% block where:'SiteId == 13' securityenabled:'false' %}
        {% for block in blockItems %}
            {{ block.Name }} ({{ block.BlockType.Name }}) <a href="/page/{{ block.PageId }}">{{ block.Page.PageTitle }}</a><br>
        {% endfor %}
    {% endblock %}

    Update the Site Id and it should list out the blocks with this Site Id attached (with a link to the page).

    I'm a little lost - where do I apply this?

      This would be a good use for the Lava Tester plugin, though you could put it in any html block to get the results.

      Now I'm even more confused. I tried adding it to a blank page as an HTML block, but it generates the message "The Lava command 'rockentity' is not configured for this template." I tried it with several different templates, and got the same response.

      I don't mind adding a Lava tester, but the only one I see is the one from Central Christian Church in Arizona. The description says "... letting you quickly test your Lava against your real-world Person, Group or Workflow data." Is that going to work for this?

        Please disregard. I found the setting (while following directions for the Compass theme). I needed to check "Rock Entity" on the Block Properties setting. That showed me the stuff assigned, so I'm off to see if that fixes it.

        That code did the trick (after I got it to run, and after a bunch of trial and error). Once I got it running, I had to create a default page for it by copying my current live page (apparently trying to delete it, on each of my several tries, deleted the default page, but not the site). When I created the default page, the three offending blocks showed up site wide. I deleted them from the page, saved the page, and then tried to delete the site. I got the same error.

        I recreated another default page, again from my site, and this time instead of deleting the offending blocks, I moved them to the page instead of the site. I was then able to delete the site.

        But then, I looked at my home page, and the three blocks were gone!! Fortunately, I have a dev site set up where I create things first, so I was able to copy the block content from there to the live site.

        Thank you for your help!!
