Unable to edit page contents - Can edit page title

[ShowMeIT]

Describe the bug I can create a new page and edit the title of a page but not the page contents (I am an admin user)

Steps To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to any book
2. Click on new page
3. Try and edit page contents
4. See error

Expected behavior I would expect to be able to edit page contents as well as Title

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

• Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings): v0.29.1
• PHP Version: 7.3
• Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): CPANEL (Apache)

Additional context It will allow you to save the page but no edit tools or page contents are visible. Screenshot is of page after the edit button. I have tried from multiple users, different shelves and different books.

Hi @ShowMeIT, Do you see this issue on the demo instance here?: https://demo.bookstackapp.com/books/bookstack-user-guide/page/logging-in-to-the-demo-site

Hi,

Issue does not show on demo instance – when I click edit on demo I get the full edit screen with toolbar and can make changes (screenshot attached).

I’ve installed my instance following this guide:

https://www.warpconduit.net/2019/11/16/installing-bookstack-wiki-on-cpanel-shared-hosting/#more-915

I was able to edit successfully after installing.

And then I have updated to v0.29.1 following https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/updates/

As part of the install the /public folder of bookstack is copied to public_html/bookstack - will this have implications for updating and possibly cause the issue I’m experiencing?

Thanks, Andrew.

The guide followed makes multiple steps, including the copying of the public folder, which could cause issues when updating. The folder structure is no longer what is expected and git may not know how to apply changes upon the changes you have made.

You might want to run git status to show the current state of the files. You might get away with updating your public folder content, that you copied, with the latest app content.

You may have to discard some changes, then repeat some of the steps in that guide again. Backup all files for your install before doing any of the following (At your own risk) but you should be able to reset the bookstack files by running git reset --hard within your install folder. Then you can re-run the update steps. You'll then need to re-apply the custom changes done in that guide and re-copy the public folder.
