Live Preview error when entry is disabled

Question

When the entry is disabled, the Live Preview only shows things which are outer of the main loop. This is a part of my code:

{% include "header.html" %}
{% for entry in craft.entries.section('flashback') %}
    <section id="intro" style="background-image: url('{{ entry.heroImage.first().getUrl() }}');">
        <h1>Flashback</h1>
    </section>
...
{% endfor %}
{% include 'footer.html' %}

The header and the footer are visible but the section and headline not.

Can you elaborate with a bit more template code? "outer of the main loop" sounds like some things are displaying outside of a loop and things inside aren't? It'd be helpful to point out exactly what's happening in the code and what you're expecting to see. — Brad Bell, May 17 '16 at 20:50

Change:

{% for entry in craft.entries.section('flashback') %}

To:

{% for entry in craft.entries.section('flashback').status(null) %}

The 2nd one will grab all entries regardless of their enabled/disabled status.

This works, but now the page is shown in the frontend even if it is disabled. – Jonathan Schiffner May 18 '16 at 08:52
Is there any way to show the entry only in the Live Preview and not on the real page? – Jonathan Schiffner May 20 '16 at 10:50
Not sure I'm following, but it sounds like you might need to wrap some of your template logic in a if craft.request.isLivePreview() conditional? – Brad Bell May 20 '16 at 18:30
Yes this is what I'm searching for. – Jonathan Schiffner May 21 '16 at 10:34
