content query web part in page layout sharepoint

Question

Is it possible to add a cqwp in a page layout? Ive tried to move the webpart from the page to the page layout used in the page. But In the second case i dont see anything.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanx

Answer 1

It is supported to add instance of CQWP into Page Layout.

Possible reasons why CQWP results are not visible:

• Javascript/CSS that affect the visibility of web part
• Verify source settings for web part. In case if page and page layouts located on different sites and the source property is configured to Show items from the following list or Show items from the following site and all subsites then this could be the reason. In both cases for for source property the relative path could be specified.
