I did some reading around the forum and read several solutions to this issue but NONE of them have worked.

I tried clearing all caches, browsers and concretes, I tried updating tinyMCE, I tried custom code suggested by a user for MCE, I tried reinstalling MCE, I tried removing all custom blocks that I have added from the marketplace. I'm currently re-copying all the site files now to see if that fixes it, but so far NOTHING. Also tried in Safari, firefox, and more. ALWAYS the add content section is blank

Without being able to reproduce your problem, it's pretty much impossible to help you..

Did you check for javascript errors? Server log? Any php error?

As Remo says it tends to be a javascript/php error. Try using the Firebug plugin in Firefox to see what is happening. As you are with GoDaddy I think you are able to roll your own PHP.INI file. You could try adding the following

error_reporting = E_ALL
log_errors = on
error_log = /home/content/p/a/t/pathto/html/error_log

Good Luck

Are there any blocks in the web root blocks directory? Any custom templates? Could there be a content/ folder in your root block's directory that's empty, or something along those lines?

Usually, if TinyMCE fails for some reason, you'll just get a textarea, with the toolbar from concrete5 still in place. The fact that you're getting a completely blank "add" form makes me think that the system can't even find your content add.php file, for some reason.

In the dashboard, is your error reporting level set to "Development" or "Production" ? You should set it to "Development" to print out errors - that might help.

I am unable to add new blocks. I can edit old blocks.

I have purchased and installed the "gallery" package from the C5 marketplace.

I'm no PHP expert, but I'll change from production to development. We're using hostmonster for our site.

Once I get into the blank content box, I can click "Dashboard" but it requires me to log back in. Maybe that's just a red herring.

can you add/edit other block types (like the image gallery?)

can you still edit old content blocks?

do you get anything similar on our demo servers at http://getconcrete5.com/demo?

Do you have a lot of plugins installed in firefox? sometimes they mess around with tinyMCE

I am able to edit old content in any browser (IE, Opera, Firefox, Firefox Safe Mode).

I cannot add new content from any block in Firefox or IE, but I can add a HTML and Markdown blocks in Opera.

Any thoughts?

did you perhaps turn advanced permissions mode on? not sure how that could produce this weirdness but its a potential...<Scratching head>

Is it something on config/site.php? If so, then no, I definitely haven't done that.

I was able to create a clean install in another folder, copied my blocks, themes and packages, and everything works except for the home page.

This is the error I get.


Fatal error: Call to a member function getPackageHandle() on a non-object in /home/rediserv/public_html/Redi/concrete/libraries/loader.php on line 270

Does that help?

Maybe somehow your add.php file in /concrete/blocks/content/ was deleted? That could maybe explain it...

Really I'd need a login on your site to be able to check for sure what's going on... But it's a thought anyway.

do you have any individual pages where you CAN use the content editor on an existing block but you cant add a new one? someone in the chat room pointed out it could be some CSS that somehow got on a specific page..

I'm no expert as to why this would fix it, but when I deleted , and turned off pretty URLs, everything was peachy (except that my URLs all have index.php in them, but I can live with that).

As for the rogue CSS... I suppose it's a possibility, but I haven't updated that for ages, and all the pages use the same template and CSS (it's a fairly simple site after all).

I had the same issue crop up after I switched to pretty URLs. No problems till then.

I am not sure what it is but I just eliminated my .htaccess file and it worked. If thats a problem, someone let me know.

I ended up reinstalling and it fixed the problem, I think it came from switching the interface from simple to advanced for some reason that corrupted it.. *shrug* anyway it's running okay now that I've completely re-copied the files and reinstalled.

I actually have the same issue as OP, however; I'm just starting on a new site and have not been able to add content at all thus. All other blocks work but adding new content brings up a blank box with the only options of 'cancel' and 'add'. Didn't anyone come to a resolution besides doing a complete reinstall (i've done this twice).

what browser are you using? can you try a different one? It sounds like the javascript for TinyMCE isn't loading. There are certain firefox extensions that cause that.
-frz

Using firefox and tested, with same result, in all major browsers (IE 6-8, Saf, Chr, Op). Also disabled add-ons with same result: empty content WYSIWYG.

This is the 2nd site I've used C5 for, and it's the first with any problems at all. I love the system, just can't really figure this problem out.
