Hi guys,

I've Open Content (05.01.01) installed on a website configured as Blog, I tried to add a new article but I get this blank page :-/

By any change anyone knows how can I resolve this? If I check any other section from the context menu such as "category" or "tags" I can check the content without a problem.

Regards.

That is indeed not ok.

The  issue is that in the config there is a reference to the wrong wysiwyg. Now not able to dive into this but it is in the template or config file. And it needs CK editor

This is mostly the case if the editor is unable to initialize a field of a certain type.
The most common cause of this is that you switched to the v2 builder while using an older template.

You can get an indication by using the browser tools (F12), there you will most likely see a message of a field  type not being initialized correctly.

Timo and Tycho, thank you so much for your reply!

This is the builder version you're talking about Timo?

I just checked the global settings and that checkbox it's not checked.

Hi Community, 

I just want to share the fix for this problem. I got assistance from Timo.

In my case I needed to disable composite files in order to track down the exact error:

After doing this we were able to determine that there was a file missing. After adding the directory and the file missing the "Add" feature started to work normally.

Thanks Timo! You're the man!!!!

FYI, this was this issue: https://github.com/sachat...enContent/issues/224

Which will be fixed in the 05.02.00 Release.
Alternatively you can fix it by copying one file (see Sacha's response on github)
Of use the CKEditor instead of wysihtml editor for the field
