Pages edit area blank

    12 years ago

    i was happily dividing my page up into columns using woo shortcodes, nothing real complex, but when i checked my changes and reverted back to the edit screen i could see no content. i pressed update and the actual site page is fine but in wordpress i see no content to edit in ‘visual’ mode and when i click on the ‘text’ tab, it does nothing. [actually I can highlight the blank area and see that the code is there but in white].

    ps. i’m worried that if i deactivate plug-ins i might loose changes. my active plug-ins are Google Maps Widget, Simple Page Sidebars & Under Construction. i thought i resolved this problem after i deactivated the ‘Follow’ plug-in but the problem has returned.

    any ideas?

    visual edit tools have also disappeared.

    word count and revisions info also disappears however it shows the last edited info correctly.

    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.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    if i deactivate a plugin and then reactivate it later or alternatively change the theme to the default, will i loose settings that i have made in plugin option or theme options?

    eg. on my contact page i have changed the sidebar so that it displays a google map so if i deactivate the plugin ‘Simple Page Sidebars’ then my sidebar will change to default. if i reactivate the plugin, will i see exactly the same sidebar with the map or will it remain on default?

    my concern is that all my fine tuning of my site will be lost. eg. i changed my link colours throughout the site. whilst they are minor changes, they add up to a fair bit of time to re-instate. especially for those of us who don’t use wordpress a lot.

    In most plugins & themes, no.

    it seems to be the pug-in mentioned… ‘Simple Page Sidebars’. firstly, i can deactivate and enable the plug-in and the problem is re-created each time it’s active. really weird tho how it just suddenly started after having had this plug-in for some time and having made about 30 edits to the page today before the problem arose.

    secondly, when i do reactivate the plug-in my sidebar settings are re-instated [and so the map appears in the sidebar].

    so it’s resolved but i need the plug-in. besides only activating it after all edits are complete, what else can i do? forward this topic to the plug-in creator i guess?

    actually i may have spoke to soon. the plug-in ‘Simple Page Sidebars’ displays a map as mentioned. That map is provided by the ‘Google Maps Widget’. when i deactivate the ‘Google Maps Widget’ plug-in my pages edit content section works and when i activate, it stops working.

    so i’ll let google know. i hope they can find someone to fix it sometime soon!
