Hi.

Here what you can try to do:

1.Open <theme_name>/app/classes/Config.php file
2.Find the following line:

$editor = JRequest::getVar('editor', '');

and insert the following piece of code before it

JHtml::_ ( 'behavior.modal' ); // for SqueezeBox

After this open a template and update it to the latest version.

Same problem. Added the line of code, changed permissions and the button now works BUT the live site editor does not load. It begins to load and stops. On Chrome, the home page of the site shows. On MS Edge, blank screen. The MS Edge inspector show the warning:

"Resource doesn't exist on the server: 'http://southmissco.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_templates&view=style&layout=edit&id=38&editor=1&theme=itsolutions&ver=178'."

Related problem?

Problem solved. Thank you for your help. I was in an old folder. The code for SqueezeBox did the trick.

I am having the same issue after trying the fixes. I really just want to edit elements of the template and spending hours every time there is an update finding a new fix is a little annoying. What can be done outside of the top two steps threads?

Please help.

Hi, I had a similar issue once—everything was working fine, then suddenly the "Edit Template" button in Joomla stopped responding across multiple pages. In my case, it turned out to be a conflict with a browser extension after a recent update. I disabled all extensions and cleared the cache, and the button became active again. It reminded me of when I downloaded a minecraft apk and it didn’t open until I updated my Android settings—sometimes small changes cause big issues. Try checking browser tools or Joomla updates—it might help.

I encountered a similar situation — after updating Joomla, the template simply stopped responding to changes. It turned out that the problem was in caching, plus some plugins conflicted with each other. I recommend starting with clearing all caches (including browser), and then disabling third-party extensions one by one to track down what exactly is interfering with editing. It's funny, but this story reminded me of a situation in business: everything seems to be set up, the system works, but something "inside" is blocking the process — in my case, it was a debtor from Brazil. I had to look for how to act in such a situation, and came across a useful resource on the topic of debt collection agency in Brazil https://www.grandliga.com/debt-collection-in-brazil/. Everything is described step by step there. So, both in technology and in business, the main thing is to figure out what exactly is slowing down the process and fix it. Good luck with Joomla, I hope you solve it quickly!
