Hi there, I have read the instructions on how to edit/add content. Looks very simple... but when I click on Submit, Apply or Preview... all that happens is all the text etc I have edited or added disappears from the editor and no changes occur to the original page that I thought I had edited.
And if I try to add a new page, the same thing happens plus no new page is created.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Okay more info
Preview – to preview the page without saving or leaving the editing window
this just erases all I just typed up.
Submit – to submit the changes and return to Content » Pages
does not bring me to that page... it just erases all I just typed
Apply – to apply the changes you made, but still staying in the editing window
I stay in editing window but all my typing is gone

If I shut off the FCKeditorX then I can add or edit content... if I use the editor neither function works.
So what can it be... any ideas how to get the editor to work with adding content?

Thanks, when I tried to install it I got this message
Be sure to set "Modify FCKeditorX" permissions to use this module!
what does this mean?
I can see that it is installed under modules but it does not show up under
extensions.
I have set it to my default editor as well.
Thanks

Maybe I didn't do this right.
I uninstalled the previous FCKeditorX
and deleted all the files from the server.
Then I uploaded the new FCKeditorX
that you told me to install. Once uploaded
I installed the new editor but then got a
screen that said
Be sure to set "Modify FCKeditorX" permissions to use this module!
So I am lost... I am not sure what it is asking me to do
The editor is installed and it is my default editor but the editor
doesn't appear when I try to add or edit content.
Thanks

Ok now I know what the following means
Be sure to set "Modify FCKeditorX" permissions to use this module!
it just means to set Group Permissions so "Modify FCKeditorX" is checked
off.
It is checked off and I see no reason why it wouldn't work but the editor
does not show up when I try to add/edit content.
It is as if the java script or whatever loads the editor isn't working.
ugh

Too strange.
May you give an access to your website?
Or are you working on localhost?
