03:36 Disabling blocks works differently in Drupal 8.4.0. Instead of setting a block to "- None -", which no longer appears in the drop-down menu, there is a "Disable" option under the "Configure" menu to the right. Also there is no "Disabled" region. The block stays where it is, with "Enable" displayed on the menu to the right.

Hi, I am using Drupal 8 to build a eCommerce website for this company.  I have created a view to be viewed for the products for the customers, but for some reason when I pull up the website and click on the page link in my main menu all I get is a blank page with the theme I purchased.  The Page View doesn't seem to want to display, but when I am logged in as an administrator I can see the page view just fine by clicking on the link.  Can anyone help me and explain why this is happening and how to fix it?  Also, How would I go about getting a block to show on a Page View?
