All entry edit fields are missing from the entry posting page

Vote 0 Votes

After upgrading Movable Type to version 4.261 I'm unable to edit or add any new entries. The default fields to display on the entry screen are set to show title, copy, excerpt, etc, but instead of getting those fields I'm getting second set of Save and Preview buttons.

You can view a screen shot of what I'm seeing here:

Anyone ever seen this?

  • This is usually fixed by reuploading mt-static since all of that is controlled by mt-static.

  • I deleted the "mt-static" directory and re-uploaded it and the problem persists.

  • I *can* get to the entry editing fields on my iPhone using the iMT plugin, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the application itself. Very frustrating.

  • Check the display options on the right side of the editor. Also, check the preferences for Entry to see if you've lost any settings.

    When I'm in the entry editing screen the Display Options is no longer clickable. If I go under Preferences > Entry any changes I make do not get applied to the entry screen. For example, if I set the action bars to be top only I still see them on both top and bottom.

    If I turn off style sheets I have no content between the action bars.

    I've tried: re-uploading mt-static, disabling plugins, re-uploading the main mt cgi files, checked permissions.

  • Re-installing all of Movable Type prompted me to upgrade the database for the Professional Pack and that solved the problem. Don't know why this didn't happen on the first install, but the problem has been solved.

  • Hmm, I'm facing the same problem. Not sure how to fix this.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
