Editing issue

Permalink
I have a client that is having an editing issue when in Edit Mode.

While he is in Edit Mode and adds a block, if he has another block he needs to edit an clicks to edit that block, the editor won't let him edit. He then has to completely exit Edit Mode, then re-enter Edit Mode.

Anyone else have this issue?

Hi,

I have same issue in v5.4.1.1

When entering edit mode some blocks can not be edited. Also the links on this block are not clickable in default mode.

I have concluded it has to do with the floating <div> this block is contained in...

Any more news on this ?

Sounds similar to mine where I cannot edit any of the default blocks because they just don't show up. See attached.

Please let me know if you resolve.

Hi,

I solved this by editing my theme's left and right-sidebar.php as well as my main.css. Turned out I had a floating div covering an absolute block, so thats why the links in the floating block didn't work and no edit's were possible in edit mode. All's well now. Hope this helps your problem...

cheers,

Thanks for the reply intrax, but it doesn't solve the problem. The page is editable, but only one version at a time. For instance, I click 'Edit Page' and edit a Content Block, click update for that block and without exiting Edit Mode, I click to edit another block on the page, but it doesn't let me. I have to exit Edit Mode, Publish Edits the click 'Edit Page' again to edit the other block.

IE8 is the only browser this happens with.

It's a common thing in IE7 & IE8, I've seen it on about 50 websites and so far the only ways to get it to edit again are the solution you use and clicking on the "html" button in the editor and then clicking update without changing a thing, you then can actually edit again.

Remove any z-index attribute from your DIV.
Save and reload.

The easiest way to do this is inspect the element in firebug and search each of its parent elements for any Z-index, erase the z-index save reload and "fin"
