Trouble with Editing a Page

    Hi,

    I am having trouble with the editing of a page. The page is fully visible and published, but when I go to the edit side, only the first few items show up – in both ‘views’.

    The page consists of a table and I am adding links to the keywords in the table doing some each day. Today, when I opened the edit section, I found I had this problem.

    Is there a way to sort it out. I had updated it as I went along each day and the new links are visible as far as I did them.

    With thanks to anyone who can help.

    hmm..that is strange

    I guess start troubleshooting by deactivating all plugins and testing
    if it works, activate one by one until you find conflict – testing in between

    if not that – try running the page thru the validator and see if anything glaring jumps out that might affect editing – long shot

    Thank you Samuel.

    I will do that.

    After posting I remembered one thing that I had done. As I added links, I updated but didn’t ‘publish’.

    The page has an ‘autosave’ on it which allows me to go back in time for quite a long way. I was wondering if I used the autosave to go back a few hours if that would set it right.

    On the other hand, when I compare the autosave revisions, the whole table is visible on the latest autosave, it just doesn’t show in the edit view.

    than ks for your help and reply.

    Hi,

    I went through all the plugins deactivating them one by one. The problem wasn’t there. (The only one I didn’t deactivate was Akismet – not sure that it would reactivate without the kay. And I’m not sure I can find the key now)

    Validator.w3.org results said that there were 13 errors and 6 warnings. Looking at them seems to show that
    4 are connected to facebook addthis plugin
    another 5 are withing the same string (mostly to do with meta and name)
    2 are with the google plus one.

    I can’t properly understand them all.

    None of them seem to have anything to do with the contents of the table though.

    Any thoughts about where I can go from here?

    With thanks

    are you creating the tables or using a plugin?

    Hi,

    I created the tables using open office tables. (I do them fairly regularly)

    I then copy and paste to the normal view, but add the links in html view.

    you’re likely running into a div/table conflict – plusperhaps extraneous code.

    I’ve never used tables but maybe try with this plugin
    as it’s well recommended

    Hi,

    Thanks for that. I will try out the plugin.
