Can’t see any tags inside your body tag.

There is a body tag in your image which you should be able to select in your tree panel. Also, do you have JS disabled in the top toolbar?

Probably try restarting Pinegrow. Also, check if there are any errors displayed in the console which you can open by right-clicking on the Pinegrow logo on the top-left corner.

found out errors in console. it was a 404 for a component i removed! haha thanks!

oddly, even reinstalling Pinegrow and clearing cache was not fixing the issue.

Thanks again for the help!

Late to the party, but this was the most recent post I found, there could be more recent ones… 😬

Any way, I had this problem today (_Pinegrow 9.01 & macOS 26.3.1_)… finally discovered that clearing the cache (File → Clear Cache) and a restart of Pinegrow got rid of the “dynamic element” for me. 😅

Leaving this here, as it maybe handy for someone else.
