Maybe set one of the pages temporarily to an Xcillion theme and container, or create a test page that way, and see if everything works.

Have you removed references to ActionButtons in the container files?

Joe, thanks.

I can exclude skins and containers as the cause, because they are tested in fresh installations. Nevertheless I did add a new page with Xcillion skin and container, and the editBar is still missing.

I'm afraid there's some kind of setting or extension from the last 10 years at play here.

And I guess not errors in the browser console?
Did you try clearing portal.css (probably not the issue, but worth a try)?

Thank you Timo,

• There are no errors in browser console.
• It is not a css thingy which hides the edit bar. It is not there. No div with a class editBarFrameContainer, nothing.

ok, sorry you already wrote that I see now.

 

 

I have ran into this problem before and I don't know exactly what causes it, but a solution provided by Will Strohl has helped me many times in the past.

Try removing the folder

• DesktopModules\Admin\Dnn.PersonaBar\Resources

When you reload DNN it will regenerate this folder and the persona bar should work again. You can find the full history at the old Q+A section of the old site https://www.dnnsoftware.c...bar-not-displaying-1

This problem commonly happened when I moved a DNN instance from one server to another, or from a local machine to Azure

Andrew, I gave it a try.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help either. PersonaBar works for me, only that the EditBar to insert modules is not loaded when I click on the edit pen. All it does is to lock Edit mode.

My problem was focused more on the PersonaBar (left-bar) not loading right, haven't ran into the Edit Bar (bottom-bar) not working as you described.

If it was me, I would deploy a local backup onto my machine and delete the entire Persona Bar and grab the folders from a freshly installed DNN 9.4.1 instance. My guess is something got really corrupted or not installed correctly. It will be best to just delete the admin experience and start over.

Don't try this on a live production site, only do it on your backed up site because you may destroy your entire site

Haha, a lot of lessons learned in the past.

I have a copy of my production environment on VMs, listening to other aliases, and mostly isolated from the rest of the world. An I can go back to beginning again and again until the whole update runs smooth.

I will give it a try. I am currently debuging the JS. _Config.UserMode_ is always set to "Edit" instead of "View". Thats why clicks on the edit pen only enables/disables the edit locking. However, the edit bar still doesn't show up, in that case it should load on each reload, shouldn't it?
