Subject: CMS Collection List + custom code component template renders empty on published site (no errors, CMS "Live," version "READY")
Site: pallavitind.framer.website Page: /sewing-studio
Setup: CMS Collection List ("Sewing Studio Photos," 20 items) using a custom code component (SewingStudioGridItem.tsx) as the item template. Props (image, title, description, category, id) are bound via standard addPropertyControls — not via internal CMS access patterns.
Issue: Renders correctly in the editor canvas. On the published live URL, the page is completely empty — no images, no text from the collection, just background + Framer badge. Zero <img> tags in the DOM. No console errors. Site Settings → Versions shows latest as Status: READY, no warnings.
Ruled out:
Plan limits (well within free tier: 1 collection, 20 items)
Code crashes (console clean, READY status)
Draft CMS items (all 20 are "Live")
Bad collection binding (Source correctly set)
Also separately fixed an unrelated crash earlier (unguarded window reference in a different code file) — confirmed by WARNING→READY status change. This blank-page issue persists independently of that fix.
Suspicion: possibly related to a recent CMS platform update affecting how collection data reaches custom-code-component templates in published/server-rendered output vs. editor preview.
Could someone help investigate why this page's CMS content only fails in the published build? Happy to share project access.
Thanks, Pallav Jain
