Unable to Edit a page after clicking on the Edit Button

Permalink
So here's a weird one. I recently had been adding a few external widgets to a site I was building. No major dramas as it was simply placing some cod lines in a html block and adding it to where I wanted it.

site is http://www.huahingolf.com

One of them stopped working so I was looking for a new one. After finding what I had hoped would be good, I added the code and that's when the issues started to arise!!

The home page seems to display ok, many other pages are not now (the widget is in a global footer area)

I can login using the normal path and once logged in I can see the Edit & Dashboard buttons along the top bar.

Hovering over the buttons doesn't do anything now though in edit mode. I can go into the Dashboard and navigate through there but if I click on Edit and an attempt to edit the page and remove the offending block it goes to the red outlined view of the block areas but then the top edit bar remains blank and nothing is select-able to edit or delete!!.
I am pretty sure there is a javascript srew up here somewhere but I just need to be able to edit the page so I can remove the block and stop this issue.

Can anyone help at all with this please? The site has taken me a long time to build, I hadn't quite finished it so hadn't made a backup just yet or I would have just done a database restore and copied the content back over again.

Help!!

It does sound like your page has a javascript error on it, which will cause the Edit button to not function properly. Are you able to go to the Dashboard to the Full Sitemap and use the Versions to get it back to a place where that block wasn't there?

Hi Hutman,

Yeah I could do everything normal in the dashboard. Turns out the few lines of code from an external weather widget threw the whole site a wobbly. I ended up having to remove the block area from the corresponding .php file, this then allowed me to edit the pages, I then later on replaced the block area using a different name (after some advice from Vidall)

All is ok now
