We have an existing Sharepoint Webpart Page. In that page ,we have 2 webparts already. They are "Calendar" WebPart (zone2,zone index1) and "Document" Webpart (zone2,zone index2). Am asked to add a "master list" beneath the "Calender" and "Document". I created a view and populated the "master list" successfully. I tried adding to the Page as webpart and it gets added at the top. But I wanted in the bottom. Am not able to drag n drop. I use IE11 and set on the compatability mode.I minimized and tried drag an drop but in vain. Am not able to change zone index as they NOT highlighted. I have site owner permission according to my admin. What am I missing above ? Kindly help (yeah,am going crazy). THANKS.
You can just edit page -> edit webpart -> and in the right side panel that appears set the zone and zone index there.
If you are looking to get the drag and drop working, I've had the same issue when my site wasn't being seen as Intranet as opposed to Internet which changed how compatibility view worked. Make sure that your domain is added to your Intranet Zone sites as http://.domain.com and https://.domain.com. Then your compatibility view will actually be used when your site is picked up as intranet zone instead of internet zone.

We have a SharePoint intranet, was accidentally changed by user significantly:
The fonts and styles are all wrong.
The menu from the Settings Cog on the top right corner also has different font styles.
I have just now locked down users permissions, so that only admin users are allowed to change, ordinary users should have read only access. It is a bit too late.
Questions:
Where could the user made the change?
What is the best way to reverse the change?
Can I find out who made the change?
Thanks
There are a few things the user could have done:
Change the "theme" of the site. This is most likely the case if the changes are only applied to one site/subsite, and not your entire site collection. This can be changed back by clicking on the gear, selecting "Site Settings", and then clicking on the "Change the Look" link.
Change the master page for the site. This can be changed back to the default by going to Site Settings again and clicking on the "Master Page" link under Look and Feel.
They EDITED the existing Master Page. This would have bee done through SharePoint Designer, and would need to be fixed through SharePoint Designer. (Find the Master Page in the Master Page Gallery, right click on it, and then select "Reset to Site Definition".
They simply applied a custom stylesheet. This can be reverted to the default by again going to Site Settings, and clicking on the "Master Page" link under Look and Feel.
(In SharePoint 2013, you can actually revert the theme, css, and master page all from the "Master Page" link in Site Settings.)
I have just edited my publishing site home page in SharePoint Designer. The page originally contains some web parts.
I am a newbie as far as SharePoint branding is concerned. I did the editing in Advance Mode when I realized that I couldn't edit areas outside my Web Part Zones and since I need to do that, I tried it using the advance mode. I edited the page adding some inline CSS styling and even added some additional Web Part Zones. Everything looked good when I previewed so I saved and thought all was okay. But to my surprise, Only my account (System Account) can see the changes I made. Every other user on the domain are still see the original page without any of my recent changes.
I have done the Check-In and Publish circle over and over again but no luck.
Does any one have any idea as to what I might have done wrong here and what I can do to fix the issue.
Follow below steps for publishing:
Select “Publish a major version,”. When
prompted to approve the master page, click Yes. This automatically
invokes a SharePoint master page approval page, where you
will find your new master page listed at the top of the page.
Click the drop-down menu beside the master page. Select
Approve and select the Approved radio button. Click OK. Your
master page is now saved and approved in SharePoint.
Navigate to your top-level site collection, and click Site Actions -> Site Settings
Under Look and Feel, select the Master Pages link. For both the
Site and System Master Page settings, select your new master
page from the drop-down menu.
Once you click OK, your changes should be available to all users
I am trying to set Global navigation for my publishing portal site in sharepoint 2013 using Managed Metadata. It works fine for Default.aspx but when I browse to Site Settings page it does not show some of navigations.
My navigation is shown bellow :
Now when I browse to default Page it shows navigation perfectly as shown bellow.
But when I browse to Site Settings page it only shows :
Problem: I have created Top Navigation using Managed Metada Service in Sharepoint 2013. It works fine for all pages such as Home.aspx, default.aspx etc... In other words it works great with WebPart Pages. But when I navigate to any of Application pages e.g. Site Settings or Site Columns( they are called application pages which by default referencing default.master page.), it is not showing my Top Nav bar with all its menu item as well as Sub menu items.
I have googled lot, finally I got solution for SharePoint 2010 from here,
First locate/find PlaceHolderTopNavBar
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar"
and rename it to PlaceHolderTopNavBarOriginal,
I looked into my custom.html page for same div tag as suggested in link above but I could not. After that I find
<div class="ms-hide">
and put
<!--SPM:<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar" runat="server" Visible="false"/>-->
inside that div.
I have written blog here:
http://apppagetopnavigation.blogspot.in/
Hopefully this will help you all.
I'm not too sure. But I think that's caused by the fact that they're using different masterpages.
Meaning when the person that activated the cascading dropdowns forgot to make that master page the default for the site. He might have only selected set as custom master page instead of default.

I think this is a bug it happens in all SharePoint 2013 versions and also in the Office 365, in the settings pages it will always show just one level in the menu.
I'm trying to display a vertical hierarchy of sites/pages on a publishing site so I've been looking at the table of contents web part which looks like it will do what I want but for some reason it only displays subsites and not pages.
I've changed the site settings to display pages and selected the show pages option on the webpart but still it doesn't show the pages. I'm logged in as admin so permissions aren't an issue.
Anyone got any suggestions!?
Did you enable the 'Show content from starting location' option in the webpart settings ?
I have deleted "New comment" webpart on the Blog Post detailed Page on the my SharePoint blog site, I am unable to find it in the webpart list.
How can I get undo / add the webpart back.
If you have clicked the X button in the top-right corner of the web part, it is simply closed. You can get it back as follows:
Click on Actions, Edit Page
Click Add a web part
Click Advanced Web Part Gallery in the top bottom-right corner of the dialog
Click on Closed Web Parts in the tool pane on the right
Drag the closed web part from the tool pane back onto the page
If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted. If you have check-in/out available to the page you can go back to a previous version to restore it. Otherwise you will need to restore from backup if you have one.
A very usefull way to see all web parts on the page, including closed ones, is the Web Part Maintenance Page, which is accessed by simply adding '?Contents=1' to the page address
I faced the same problem (it was my mistake :(), but I am able to get my “New Comment” webpart back on the page by using SharePoint Designer.
Steps to get “New Comment” webpart back on the page
Create New blog site just to get “New Comment” list form Webpart
Open Newly created blog site in SharePoint designer and address]/ Lists/Posts/Post.aspx page and
Copy the full XSLT code of “New Comment” list form Webpart
Go back to your production blog site and place the copied XSLT just after “comments” list view Webpart on the page
Provide “your comments list GUID” under List Name property of the copied XSLT
Save and close.
That’ it. Your “New comment” Webpart is back on the page

"If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted."
Here is a solution that does not require SP Designer and fixes the problem in a couple minutes.
In fact, it is only the Default View associated to the webpart that is deleted. Click on View All Site Content. Then on the defective library link. It will open the listedit.aspx page. Go down to the Views section. Select another view or create a new view and make it the one by default. That's it. You are back in business. Of course, you need to correct the library link in the Quick Launch section.

In my case it was a "Summary Link Web Part" that was added to a Document Library and the user accidentally "x'd" out off it. I found the "closed" web part by doing the following:
Click on "Site Actions | Edit Page"
Click on "Add a Web Part"
In the "Categories" list box on the left the last folder is "Closed Web Parts". Select the Web Part and re-add it.
