Title: Quick Edit Menu Not Appearing Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Quick Edit Menu Not Appearing * Resolved [shshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shshaw/) * (@shshaw) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/) * For some reason, the Quick Edit menu is not appearing. Whenever I click the button, the modal background comes up but there’s no dialog with options to edit. * On my test site, it seems to work fine, but on the live site (which uses https for the admin) it does not. * Any suggestions? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-nested-pages/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-nested-pages/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Thread Starter [shshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shshaw/) * (@shshaw) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850674) * Same result in Firefox and Chrome. * Plugin Author [Kyle Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylephillips/) * (@kylephillips) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850679) * Are there any Javascript errors in the console? * Are there any different plugins on the live site vs your local/test site? (I’m aware of an issue with modals on WP Engine hosting, but the quick edits aren’t effected) * Thread Starter [shshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shshaw/) * (@shshaw) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850695) * Hm. No console errors. * No plugin differences I can tell. Updated everything on both to be sure and deactivated a few different plugins, but Quick Edit still won’t come up. * When I inspect the page, the model background div is active ( “np-inline-overlay active” ), but it is emply. * Thread Starter [shshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shshaw/) * (@shshaw) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850950) * Just making you aware: I saw the latest update was supposed to fix the modal issue, but after updating and clearing cache the same issue is still happening. * Thanks! * [Adrian La-Garde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adrian-la-garde/) * (@adrian-la-garde) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850952) * FYI I’m also having the same problem. (v1.3.11 using Chrome). * Thread Starter [shshaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shshaw/) * (@shshaw) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850990) * Inexplicably, this is no longer an issue. One of the last updates must’ve fixed it. Thanks! * [lordquibble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordquibble/) * (@lordquibble) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850992) * On the flip side, i just updated to the newest version and now i am seeing this exact problem. Just to be safe, i tried deactivating every other plugin i have running (which are also all up to date) and experienced the exact same issue. * When I try to use the quick edit button and my screen grays out, if I insoect element I too see the following. and as you can see it is empty as well. `
` * The ONLY item i have in the console is: `Consider using 'dppx' units, as in CSS 'dpi' means dots-per-CSS-inch, not dots-per-physical-inch, so does not correspond to the actual 'dpi' of a screen. In media query expression: print, not all, (- webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-resolution: 120dpi)` and this does not appear to be relevant. * When the problem started i was running PHP 5.3 FastCGI, but i tried changing it to PHP 5.4 FastCGI, this had no effect. * I also tried downgrading to 1.3.12 and 1.3.11, neither improved the situation. In order to downgrade I had to deactivate and delete the plugin, but if it left settings or other problematic stuff in the database, i am not sure how to clean that out safely * Hopefully some of this info will be useful * [lordquibble](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordquibble/) * (@lordquibble) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5850993) * ok, so I got into work this morning and the quick edit dialogue once again started appearing again. I changed nothing (that i know of) that should have affected this. Oh well. I will post back again if it reoccurs. * [dzug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dzug/) * (@dzug) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5851001) * I am not getting the modal at all for the quick edit menu. The grey overlay appears but nothing else becomes visible. Clicking again clears the overlay. I am not seeing any issues in the console and see the same behaviour on Safari and Firefox on OS X and in IE on Windows. * Thanks! * Plugin Author [Kyle Phillips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylephillips/) * (@kylephillips) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5851002) * dzug, * Does the last page in your list happen to be in the trash? * Another user found a bug (and the fix) that causes this to happen for that reason. * The patch hasn’t been pushed yet, but I’ll push the update soon. This is the only case I’ve been able to recreate the issue some seem to be having. * [dzug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dzug/) * (@dzug) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-edit-menu-not-appearing/#post-5851003) * Hi, I emptied the trash and that did not do anything (the last page was not in the trash). Then for some reason I clicked the ‘show hidden’ link (I have no hidden pages) and after that the quick edit menu appeared. At this point it is appearing all the time, no matter the state of the hidden pages. Hope that helps!
