Buttons in UI disappeared

Permalink
Hi everyone,

The editable side of my C5 was working just fine until a few days ago. I can't recall what I did, if anything, to make this happen but the buttons to confirm block changes have disappeared.

If there is a selection box and I click in it to make it active, in some cases I can just press Enter and it will accept the changes. In other blocks, it does not. I need my button back :(

See my screenshot attached. Thanks!

Suzy

Hmm. That's really odd. Do they come back if you completely remove your site's stylesheet, and edit the block? I'm wondering if there's some crazy CSS style that's causing trouble with that button.

Hi Andrew,

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you. I was under a tight deadline for milestones and decided to finish those first before referring back to this issue.

To answer your question, yes, the submit buttons do return when I remove my style sheet. I'm not exactly sure what in my style sheet may be conflicting but I am open to try anything you suggest.

What I've done to bypass the AWOL button, I make a radio button or text field "active" (where it highlights ir in blue glow) and then I just press enter on my keyboard. For me, this works fine, but I will have to turn this over to the agency soon and I'll need to fix it before then.

Hit me with your thoughts :)

Use FireBug to see if you can inspect that area where the button should be. It might be something that is changing the z-index or display style.

This i the first time I use Firebug and it's super cool. Thanks for suggesting it.

After pulling up Firebug, I notice ccm-button-right is way right, like 400 pixels) of the allowable space for my block editor, thats why I don't see it. My new problem is, I don't know how to fix it :)

Does the javascript for ccm-button designate where the button is placed or would I find that in the concrete base css?

ccm-pane-control has a width of 286
ccm-block-form where ccm-button-right lives is set at 580 pixels so my button is running off the pane (or hidden off the pane)

I'm looking through all the css files hoping to find a fix - if you know a quicker way, please let me know.

I tried adding that div style to my css to overwrite it but it's not working =\

I'm so happy :) Yes, friends, the smallest things amuse me, I am a girly girl after all.

I added this to my theme's css file and fixed it:

/* Fixes C5 disappearing submit button */
  form#ccm-block-form {
  width:100%;
}
