Cannot edit pages (posts OK)

  • I only updated WP from 2.2.2 to 3.0.1 about 6 months ago, and it was a somewhat stressful experience ….so I’d prefer not to update again so soon unless this is actually the cause of my problem.

    On my site borderlinecollective.org, we don’t need to edit our pages too often so I hadn’t tried in a couple months. I just noticed today that when I try to edit a page, whether I go from the dashboard or click on the “edit” link while signed in and viewing the page, nothing shows up. Or that is, the dashboard left sidebar shows up, and the “publish/update buttons” on the right also do, but an actual text box with the content of the page does not appear in the center.

    The posts are still editable, on the other hand. I don’t know what’s happening with the pages, it’s very weird. Any advice?

    Anyone? Doesn’t appear to have been a fluke day, I still cannot edit pages even though the posts are fine.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

    – choosing the default permalink structure at Settings > Permalinks in your admin panel.

    The site was originally set up by someone else, and the theme it’s using was modified by that person. That person also has the Aksimet key, and Aksimet is the only plugin we use. I’m afraid to bother him about it as he just re-installed it a few months ago.

    As for the theme, can I switch back easily, even though the current theme has been modified? Does it basically stay in my list of themes to choose from so I can go back to it easily?

    As for permalink structure, it seems like that only affects the posts, right? Not for pages, as far as I can tell.

    Whoa, never mind! I forgot we also had one more plugin, the WordPress importer. Had never caused any issues before –as I posted originally, the WP version was updated 6 months ago, which is also when I last used the importer, but the inability to edit pages just happened recently. Just deactivated that plugin and was able to get into my pages! Thank you!
