I have content editor on my team site where I added several links. But today while adding some new links, content editor crashed. so now when I tried to open site containing content editor, browser stop working.
The quick solution is:
I can delete the existing content editor and create a new one (using ?contents=1 in the corrupted team site). But since my content editor contains lot of links, so is there a way where I can roll back content editor to previous version (till yesterday afternoon)?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Your previous version is probably lost in the mess. You will have to go to the site admin, and close / delete the webpart and start over. You may be able to simply close the web part (from site admin) and then edit the web part properties to salvage it's contents.
Either way, content should not be added directly into a Content Editor Web Part (for this reason.) Instead, use the option to point to a file in a Document Library elsewhere in your SharePoint site, with versioning enabled.
Then, in the case of the CEWP blowing up the page from an edit to the contents, you can revert to the previous version of the document, and the CEWP will immediately be updated, and the page immediately restored.
Stackoverflow is about programming related questions, your question is more of a user question.
You can't roll back a content editor. If you have versioning enabled for the page you have the content editor on, you might be lucky and can retrieve an earlier version. Otherwise you could only check the database for the content editor contents, but that will be a pretty tedious task finding it.

This is a weird one, but I am not sure if I am missing something here. There used to be a location for the link to HTML files in content editor web parts. I cannot find the url now! I want to know which HTML file the web part is showing at the moment so I can modify it. It not under any of these: Appearance, Layout, Advanced.
The problem was SharePoint Online's content type editor had gone missing. So I managed to enable the feature back on again. As soon as I enabled the feature, the content editor edit panel went back to its previous status. I used this to do it:
Content Editor Web Part missing on SharePoint Online
Running WSS 3.0 and I've been given full access to sharepoint. I'm working on a lean initiative to clean up SP and delete old/outdated libraries from the site or at least from the main page. I've been able to get into quicklaunch where it gives me the option to remove it from quicklaunch but it's still showing on the front page. I've also found the button that lets me delete the document library but all it does is delete all the content. The link is still on the front page but when you click on it says something about the link being broken.
I'm on my own with this project and I'm not part of the IT team but I need to be able to delete document libraries and the content. Or at least edit the front page to remove these links.
I've found a lot on the internet about powershell and sharepoint designer but I don't have either of those and I'm not sure if I'd be tech savvy enough to use them. Please tell me there is some secret button I can hit to remove the useless libraries.
On my sharepoint site I am unable to add an existing basic webpart to a page where I've added webparts before. I am a site owner. I am using IE 8. I also work remotely using VPN.
The strange thing is IE won't even open up the EDIT MODE.
When I use Google Chrome, it is able to open up EDIT MODE, and it was also able to open up the Add Web Part popup, but when you actually select a web part and press ADD...nothing gets added to the main page.
The extra strange thing is from Google Chrome, I am able to delete and modify existing webparts.
I've upgraded to IE 9 and the same issue still happens.
i assume the similar issue you would be facing with firefox it seems your css is not compliant with IE8 try using ie8 in campatibility mode or use following querystring parameter at end of ur url
toolpaneview=2 and see what is the result
I had that problem and it appeared that a CSS file was messing up with the Ribbon controls.
Try to disable a CSS file at a time.

We had this issue (or at least a very similar one) where, in edit page mode, clicking on 'Add a Web Part' had no effect. I was assuming that it is a JavaScript issue. In, I beleive, the same day, it effected both my Production and DEV Site Collections, in IE8, Firefox and Chrome. We restarted all of our servers and ran the config wizard. No good.
We were able to create new pages which seem to be uneffected.
For an existing page, our workaround is to edit the properties of the page, then, down at the bottom, select 'Open Page in Maintenance View'. Select one of the Web Parts and Close it. Note: It seems as though if you unselected the 'Allow Close' checkbox, it wont be on this list. Then click on the 'Go Back to Web Part Page'. Click on the zone where the closed Web Part was. You may now be able to 'Add a Web Part'. If so, the last Web Part folder on the left will be 'Closed Web Parts' which I beleive you can put back (Open) the closed Web Part.
I have see this issue occur when someone else has the current page open in edit mode. Until that person either checks in or undoes there checkout you will not be able to edit the page.
We have a small SharePoint intranet web site with some contributors. Someone or may be automatically, one web part on SharePoint's list form page (Dispform.aspx) is getting closed.
Even if we open it, it gets closed automatically or by someone after couple of days.
Is it possible to log this event or is there any way to troubleshoot this ?
Try making a new webpart page, add the List View, and rename it to DispForm.aspx (make sure you keep the old copy, rename the old file to something like oldDispForm.aspx). Use SP Designer to move the file to the same spot as the aspx pages under the List. In a few days, check to see if the old DispForm.aspx ListView closed.
In addition, I'd track down all the "Web Designers" that have access to edit the page.
I am doing development in SharePoint 2010.
If I create a site page with the SharePoint look and feel for that site on save, I am getting this error:** "Content in the embedded form may be changed by the server to remove unsafe content. Do you want to reload your page to see the results of the save? "** and when I say reload, the server removes some parts of my page, e.g., onclick event of html, asp buttons.
I took a copy of 'How To Read Library' page just edited the text part of that page, and when I try to save this error again comes up.
However, if I create a simple aspx page with only html tags like head body, then there is no problem, everything works great. But SharePoint look and feel pages are giving troubles while saving.
Has anybody seen this previously? What could be the reason for this?
Which template did you use? I've had this same problem using the wiki site template, and found this link indicating you should use the blank site template:

However, I'd hope there's a better solution
