Primary Text frame skips Odd pages except page 1

Question

I have a document with 2 Master Pages.

Master Page A - Contains Primary Text Frames linked to each other in Facing Pages (MP01.png)

Master Page B - Contains Primary Text Frames (2 columns) linked to each other in Facing Pages (MP02.png)

In Preference I have disabled Smart Text Reflow. (PREF.png)

When I place the text, it places only on Page number 1 and then two and then it skips all odd pages. (PLACED.png)

What am I doing wrong?

Screenshot attached.

I need Primary Text Frame becasue it adapts to layout changes easily. Some of my pages have multiple text frames. I have not created Master Pages yet. (screenshot not attached)

Actually this part of InDesign (multiple text flow) always confuses me and I have to do all the text flow manually. 😞

Thanks

Thanks for sending the screenshot and the idml file.

When I add a spread in your document after page 1, then link the out port from the first page to the in port of the second page, text will not flow through to the third page.

However when I removed all the pages except page 1 in your document and place new pages, then link the out port from the first page to the in port of the second page, the text flows through to the third page as expected.

Can you describe your steps in creating the pages and how you linked the spreads?

If you just want to fix your document, I would suggest that you turn on the Smart Text Reflow, do what I did on my second attempt.
