Page editor not showing content

Thanks! I usually work on Chrome but based on your suggestion I just tried that edit page on IE, Safari, and Firefox, and I still see that same issue. The edit page doesn’t show the controls.

I am looking back at my original post and I have left out an important detail. I was framing the post in my head and I know I was going to include this info but apparently I did not.

I am using a “child theme”, but the only thing I am doing in the child theme is to set the top menu to appear below the logo. I have a child style.css file with the following:

@import url(“../make/style.css”);
/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */

.site-navigation {
float: left;
max-width: 80%;
}

and I have copied and edited the header-layout.php and header-layout-3.php files so that the following nav

<nav id="site-navigation" class="site-navigation" role="navigation">

is not a child of

<div class="site-branding">

I am sure this should only affect the rendering of the page and not the edit view, but I am not sure if having the child theme is affecting the edit view.

I disabled the two plugins that were adding to the edit page. That didn’t fix it. I also disabled another plugin that I recently added. That didn’t help either.

The problem is worse than I thought – all the pages that use the Builder Template have the edit page empty. It’s not just this one page. The other pages with the default template are ok.

I did a ‘view source’ when I was logged in and my content that would be displayed in the edit fields is there. If it would help debug this, I have saved the ‘view source’ info for one of the problem pages here :

Thanks for helping out with this.

I also did a diff of the edit page html source with and without the problem and probable the one interesting difference I saw was in this line:

<div id="normal-sortables" class="meta-box-sortables"><div id="ttfmake-builder" class="postbox  hide-if-js" >

The bad page has the extra “hide-if-js” class specification that is not present in the good page (the one that shows the page content).

I can’t for sure say that may not have been the case. But when I ‘resolved’ the issue, I did have to explicitly apply my hack on all 3 pages that I had the issue on. Explicitly – I would open the edit page for Page1, the edit fields would be missing. I would then change to default template, then change back to builder template, and the edit fields now show up. GO to the edit page for Page2, the edit fields are not shown. Do the hack, the edit fields are displayed. The same again for Page3.
