I have a new CQWP and when l export the WP and insert it into the page layout when l create a new page it adds the CQWP but the it doesn't show the list l have selected in the Query under "show items from the following list" I have to do this manually every time do you know which property name l have to update for it to include the library every time l create a new page

Are you sure you are tried to add the CQWP in a site page within the same web application? – Mohamed El-Qassas MVP♦ Sep 5 '17 at 21:32

Try to configure your CQWP and export it again then add it on your page, – Mohamed El-Qassas MVP♦ Sep 6 '17 at 12:32
By default, the Content Query Web Part Export Operation preserves the list/library Name
<property name="ListName" type="string">Qassas List</property>
It also preserves WebUrl
<property name="WebUrl" type="string">~sitecollection/Qassas/test</property>
So
- Try to export the CQWP again then add it on your page, it should be working properly.
- Also, Make sure that you already added the exported CQWP in a site page within the same web application!

Tried that but when l re-add it back in l get the following message : [There is a problem with the query that this Web Part is issuing. Check the configuration of this Web Part and try again.] but if l edit the CQWP it resolved automatically same with adding it in the display template l have to edit it for the entries to appear – John Smith Sep 19 '17 at 18:38

2013 version, so if my url is (TESTING/Lists/TEST%20Board/AllItems.aspx) so would l use <property name="WebUrl" type="string">~sitecollection/TESTBoard</property> or would l need to include the site collection name ? – John Smith Sep 20 '17 at 15:16
