Guys, got a couple of weird issues here with the Gantry administrator. They are intermittent, but troublesome.
I usually go into Components > Gantry 5 and then click configure template. This goes to Base Outline > styles. I try to use the dropdown to change outline. Nothing happens.
If I go into Extensions > Templates > Topaz - Home, for example, and open it directly, I can change from one set of settings to another: Styles, Page Settings, Layout, etc. Occasionally, selecting Layout for any outline will produce the results in the attached pic.
Clearing the Joomla cache will fix it sometimes. Other times, it seems to fix itself.
As I said, it's intermittent, doesn't happen all the time, but often enough that it makes me itchy.
Thoughts?

Love your Avatar and siggy This image is hidden for guests.

First try the "other" two browsers and see if you still have the issue. If you don't than in the problematic browser start it in a "Safe Mode":
"Incognito" - for Chrome
"Private" - for FireFox
"Safe Mode" - for IE11
What this does is turn all the users add-ons and custom browsers settings OFF and can help resolve a browser related issue.
If you still have issues would you please create a SuperAdmin login and email it to me at xxx so that I can take a look. - Last Edit: 7 years 9 months ago by Kat05.

Hi, Dan. Thanks for the kind words. I like my little blue guy too. Got one in green too.
As I noted, these two issues don't happen all the time. They don't always happen at the same time. Sometimes clearing caches helps. Sometimes not. Sometimes logging out of Joomla administrator and going back in will help. I posted more to record the administrator issue and see if anyone else had seen this. I am interested in why this happens, if anyone knows, and what can be done about it, but it's not a career-ending injury so I play on.
FYI, I posted a display issue with Gantry 4 administrator that I marked Solved, though there was never an answer: http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/gantry-solved-threads/251570-solved-gantry-4-1-8-administrator-component-issues#1254606 . Since I was changing out G4 for G5, it didn't seem a good use of you guys' time to fix it when it didn't seem to affect anyone else.
In this case, is there a tag for "not solved, but just recording for posterity?"
But I don't like to have something that goes wonky on my site for no known reason. - Last Edit: 7 years 10 months ago by EPIC Web. Reason: edited for info

EPIC, do you still need help with this?
Are you running any Joomla Caching? Conservative should be fine... avoid using Progressive forever and always. Any 3rd party caching? What about CDN?
If a thread is solved please edit your *original/first* post and place "[SOLVED]" (no quotes; but you do need the brackets) at the beginning of your post title. Changing the post icon to the Solved Checkmark is helpful too.

- Matt, I don't think so. It was so annoying and troubling that I have started using Firefox again. It appears to be a Chrome issue.

Do you have any browser extensions installed on your Chrome? I pretty much exclusively use Chrome and I've not run into the issue you're describing. Interesting it is not an issue for you in Mozilla....
Try Chrome Canary without any 3rd party extensions installed perhaps: www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html - SEARCH the forum first! These boards are rich in knowledge and vast in topics. This includes searching just the 'Solved' forums, using Google, and using ChatGPT
