## **Troubleshooting and FAQs**

**Q: Why can’t I see the Blog page in my app?  
 A: Go to **Learndash App > Menus** and confirm the Blog page has been added to either the Tab Bar or More Screen. Then, force-close and reopen the app.

**Q: Why isn’t my blog post displaying correctly in the app?  
 A: Some Gutenberg blocks aren’t supported in the app. A warning will show if detected. Use the **App Editor** to input fallback content designed for mobile.

**Q: Do I need to take extra steps after publishing a post?  
 A: No. Published posts automatically appear in the Blog tab of your Learndash App—no syncing or refresh needed.

**Q: Can I use Gutenberg blocks in blog posts?  
 A: Yes, but only supported blocks will render properly in the app. Unsupported ones may trigger a fallback display or cause layout issues.
