uneditable areas in edit page mode

Permalink 2 users found helpful
I'm new to C5 and have done as much research as possible b4 sending this. However, I have followed the directions to create a default.php theme step for step and when I sign in to edit page mode of my site, it will not let me edit it. What am I doing wrong?

some people use themes that have divs that have a z-index assigned, I actually ran across this today. If your z-index is specified and I guess under 100 then if you click the edit nothing happens when you are signed in and trying to edit.

So check z-index first: (css attribute) and go from there.

I ran into this problem and I am using z-index. So I set all my values to 200 or greater. And still no luck. Does any body have any other ideas?

I ran into this as well. I removed the z-index declaration for the div that the uneditable blocks were in and all's well.

Pixelfixer, you want the theme's z-index to be _lower_ not higher, i usually keep them below 5

I had to make all of my z-indexes very low. Changed everything from being 100, 200, 300, etc... to 1, 2, 3. That seemed to do the trick.
