I am using the latest version of Chrome and Firefox.

My problem is an intermentent one: the frontend edit icons have gone missing in Chrome and only appear intermently in Firefox. I never quite figure out what triggers the disappearence.

I have searched for hours to see where this might reside and exhausted most of those channels. I am using J 3.2.2 with a T3 kernel on my Teline IV site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It now works in Chrome, but NOT in FireFox 29. Don’t know why. I did figure out that when the home page loads initially it doesn’t appear, but after I leave the page and and return it appears.

When checking your site on firefox 29, I see the edit button shows as normal.

Currently it is NOT working for either Firefox 29 or Chrome. Why this constant change?

@olderthanwiser I tried to check your site in other computer as well, with both Firefox 29 and Chrome, it works as normal. Please give it a try with another computer again.

If the issue remains, please let me know steps to reproduce such issue. Any screenshot would be helpful as well.

As you can see there is no front editing icon listed. There are no front editing icons on any module.

I have tried from two different computers using the latest chrome and firefox.

The current time nothing works, but several days ago I went to my computer and they appeared.

I have checked the php and it shows “frontediting 1”

I am wondering if having two browsers open at the same time with two different admin (Admin/Webmaster) accounts is confusing something. I also am having problem getting my changes to articles, particularly the JA News Featured, tag to STICK.

The only odd thing I am encountering is with the database. I did a foolish thing right after installation, I saw there was an upgrade to Joomla 3.2.3 and I selected upgrade. I then got this message warning: “Database update version (3.2.3) does not match CMS version (3.2.2).”

I restored the site from the day beofre but didn’t restore the databases and I am wondering how to rectify this and whether it has anything to do with the issues I am experiencing?

Could you take a look again? I would appreciate it!

I am very embarrassed to admit the simplicity of the solution. After looking online for two weeks I finally figured it out:

It is called Frontend editing BECAUSE you have to access the site from the FRONTEND! DUH! You must have your GLOBAL CONFIGURATION site settings in the “SITE OFFLINE-YES”. THEN you have to access the site url and login as a SUPERUSER and amazingly the FRONTEND EDIT BUTTONS appear.

I have had a live site that I have been trying to FRONTEND EDIT from the rear end admin screen. I had been selecting the “sitename” url link in the upper right hand corner of the admin screen so I could see the live changes. It doesn’t work this way for me. Wish the documentation was a little clearer for newbies.

My output has doubled overnight.
