Concrete 5.5 Theme Edit Not Working [**FIX**]
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hello, I LOVE the brand new Concrete 5.5, and I just installed it on my website. However, I found a problem: the 'predefined' C5 themes' editing bar worked fine, but on my themes it didn't show up and didn't work at all.
Turns out, the new update (Concrete 5.5) adds a new line theme's code.
**SOLUTION**
Just before the </body> tag, add:
<code>
<?php Loader::element('footer_required'); ?>
</code>
and voila! they work fine again...
If you have a 'footer.php' element, just add it there and it'll automatically update on all of your pages.
**If I didn't explain myself completely, please feel free to ask questions.

I've got the same problem with the editing options not displaying. In your original note you write, "Just before the tag"... What tag? Where do I need add the footer required bit?
thanks
thanks
Never mind. I got it. Add it before the closing body tag and everything is hunky dory.
Sorry about not answering, didn't notice your question. For future reference: Yes, it goes right before the 'body' tag of your document.
Glad you figured this out.
BTW, this footer element has always been in Concrete5, and should have always been in themes (it's where the google analytics code entered into the dashboard settings goes on the page). I guess it's just more noticeable now that they're putting a lot more javascript down there in the footer.

Thanks for pointing out the Google Analytics. I was using 'SITE_TRACKING_CODE' in the header and forgot all about the footer using analytics this way as well.
Really? I didn't know that. It's a good thing, C5 requires it now, so we (I) don't leave it out again...
Still not work for me, nothing display. only a white bar.
For me it does not work either.
I have got a lot of directories called elements. And in it are files footer.php and header.php. I added your line, but it still does not work.

I found it!
The Dutch translation was the cause of it.
Turning it off solved the problem

I'm not getting this to work and we already have the "footer_required" in our footer.php file, under our themes. When we upgraded to 5.6 the editing options and the dashboard tool bar dropped completely from our site. - is there another work-around?
I have the same issue in 5.6 - this code seems to be present already. What else can we try?
