Hey, I’m trying to combine a bunch of resource collections on a CMS template page.

The source of each is a multi-reference field. E.g Webinars, Blog Posts, Glossary, etc

First list has

And the other lists all have

On the staging site the lists just appear below each other.

Hey @hello6!

The issue happens because your main combined target Collection List is empty on many pages. When a list has no items, Webflow injects the default “No items found” block, which causes the element with `fs-list-combine="resources"` to not be rendered correctly on the DOM.

This element should have the structure of the collection list, but since it is empty, there is no list rendered.

A simple fix is to make the combine target a static (non-CMS) list.

Replace the target Collection List with a normal Div structure just like this:

```html
<div class="resources_list-wrapper" fs-list-element="wrapper">
    <div class="resources_list" fs-list-combine="resources" fs-list-element="list"></div>
</div>

```

Make sure to change the previous element with `fs-list-combine="resources"` to `fs-list-instance="resources"`

Make these changes and let me know how it goes!
