Page Layout and Text Layout Buttons Disabled on Ribbon

• Question

• I am trying to create a publish site in Sharepoint 2010, and I am using the Ribbon control.  Currently, I am having trouble adding and changing content on my site, due to both the Page Layout and Text Layout buttons being disabled.  I have been trying to figure out what security or characteristic needs to be active to become these enabled again.  Any help would be appreciated.

• Brendon,

  Many thanks for you lot solution; this did non quite work for my ain circumstance; but it worked as a ground for a my own steps which are not too dissimilar to yours: -

  1. Edit Page - Can follow your steps or only "Edit"
  2. Click Save & Close drib down and select "Salvage and Keep Editing"
  3. Page Layouts is at present available

  Will expect forward to reading your blog post if you can come with a reason why the ribbon is behaving this style.

• I skimmed throught these responses so I appologize if someone already said this. Simply to clear upward an confusion:

  In SharePoint 2010 yous either have Text Layouts or Folio Layouts, you lot typically wouldn't have both buttons available (notation they are as well on different tabs in the ribbon). When you activate the publishing features or if y'all started with one of the publishing site templates,  you will accept the page layout button available and the text layout button will be grayed out. Alternatively if you aren't editing a publishing page, y'all are almost likely editing a wiki page and have the text layout button bachelor to you.

  The last culling would exist if yous manually create a web part page, this has neither option (you pick a "layout" when its beingness created).

• For those of you who have lost many hours searching through the web for the uncomplicated answer to the simple question of "I don't see a Page Layouts and Site Templates link under Look and Feel" and could not find it, here is the solution: The Page Layouts and Site Templates is a sub-characteristic of SharePoint Server Publishing, when yous enable it, the darn push button appears. And I don't sympathize why nobody tin can tell us this, and why this is not documented properly. My guess is, people usually enable each and every one of the feature set and never even experience this outcome. Anyhow, the SharePoint Server Publishing feature is a Site Collection feature, and so you need to:

  Site Settings / Site Collection Administration / get to top level site settings

  Site Settings / Site Drove Administration / Site drove features / SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure -> Enable

  Now, you demand to enable the same characteristic on your sub site. Get to your site:

  Site Settings / Site Actions / Manage Site Features / SharePoint Server Publishing -> Enable

  And finally, you volition be able to see "Folio Layouts and Site Templates" under Look and Feel.

  If yous cannot, driblet me an email and I will try to walk you lot through: ihsancem [obvious sign] gmail.com

  One simple thing, nobody helps, nobody explains, nobody documents, hours spent! I detest these inter-twined entangled characteristic sets. Just I do beloved SharePoint none-the-less

  Cheerios

• FYI, as a workaround, I simply added the site actions menu twice to my page, but in the one before the ribbon, I wrapped it in a hidden div. All y'all demand is the "Create Page" action in the first site actions menu. The central to retrieve is that you need requite your 2nd (visible) site actions carte a different ID than your first (hidden) control.

  <div mode="display:none;"> 					<SharePoint:SiteActions runat="server" accesskey="<%$Resources:wss,tb_SiteActions_AK%>" id="SiteActionsMenuMain" 						PrefixHtml="" 						SuffixHtml="" 						MenuNotVisibleHtml="&amp;nbsp;"> 						<CustomTemplate> 						<SharePoint:FeatureMenuTemplate runat="server" 							FeatureScope="Site" 							Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.StandardMenu" 							GroupId="SiteActions" 							UseShortId="true" 							> 							<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" id="MenuItem_EditPage" 								Text="<%$Resources:wss,siteactions_editpage%>" 								Clarification="<%$Resources:wss,siteactions_editpagedescriptionv4%>" 								ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/ActionsEditPage.png" 								MenuGroupId="100" 								Sequence="110" 								ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="javascript:ChangeLayoutMode(false);" 								/> 						</SharePoint:FeatureMenuTemplate> 						</CustomTemplate> 					  </SharePoint:SiteActions> 					 </div>
