    [CMS] Can't Edit Article After Upgrade

    I was running vBulletin 4.1.9 w/CMS and things were pretty good.

    I upgraded to vB 4.1.11 yesterday. Now I'm not able to edit articles. I can post new articles, but if I click on the edit button any changes I've made will simply not show up in the saved article.

    Any ideas?

    Create a new style with no parent:
    • Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
    • Parent Style: No Parent Style
    • Title: Default vBulletin
    • Allow User Selection: Yes
    • Save


    Then set this style for the CMS section (edit section, select style, apply/save). Now go to the article (if it still shows the old style, then clear the cache under maintenance) and try to edit it.

    If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

      Upgraded to 4.2 and lost can not longer edit.
      Created a new default style.
      Where do I define the style for the CMS section?

        Check Home > edit Section > see if the Style is set to a particular style or set to Inherit.

          Going to need it in simpler terms.
          Home? Is that somewhere in my Admin CP or a CMS setting?

            I beleive she is refering to Home as the main page of your CMS

                Ohhhh.
                I see what you both mean.
                Click on the pencil for the section title.

                Well, it was set to inherit. Tried default. Then I changed it to my plain vanilla stock skin. Still no joy.

                  How about trying to edit a article from the admincp itself? If you logged into the AdminCP you can naviagte to articles and it will open them up in edit mode when clicking the title (which is also in URL format to edit etc) to do that it's AdminCP > vBulletin CMS > Content Manager > *Now click on the Article title link, it should open the article up in a new tab from the front-end ready for editing, can you edit and save this way?

                    Sure. I can edit and save. No problem.
                    I've lost the toolbar.
                    I can see the content with the bbcode and html markup. It's like I'm stuck in source or html mode.

                          I'd suggest putting in a ticket so we can take a look at your settings.

                            It gotta be simple.
                            It worked with the last version.
                            I'll try some different browsers then write up a ticket,

                              What is the ticket number and URL because I am having the same issue.
                              I created an article but forgot to select PUBLISH. Now when I try to publish it by editing the article, it still shows up as Not Published.

                              Can you see this article:


                              Funny thing is, in the admin Content manager, the above article shows published.
