Greetings,
Thank you in advance for your support! I'm new to drupal and am building out a 5.2 site on on debian and just ran in to some configuration issues. I've been unabale to find a solution myself, from these forums or via google. I've working on the site all weekend so I'm not sure which setting or settings I've change which have "hidden" the "Input format, File attachments, Comment settings, Menu settings, Authoring information, Publishing options" settings from a Page or Image when its created or edited. These settings where available then I noticed that there where missing, after a 8 hours of messing around. I'm the only user on the drupal system.....

For example, when I access a page logged in as admin (the first user) I can create a page, image etc.. but the Input format, File attachments, Comment settings, Menu settings, Authoring information, Publishing options settings are missing (I see the hr although there is no link), I can enter a Title, and Text and thats just about it.

I'm sure its a simple settings that I've changed which has hidden these controls, although for the life of me I'm unable to find it to get back the ability to modify these settings from a Page or Image, or any other type of content. Thank you again for your help!
Regards

There is no setting that removes those from the 1st created user that I know of.

check your misc folder against a new download and insure you have the proper .js files

insure you template is calling the proper $scripts line in your theme, in the head area, located in page.tpl.php

Thank you for you support, when I changed the template the issue was resolved, looks like its some of the mods I made to the template which hid the controls. Back to the drawing board.
Thank you again!

...but I haven't touched the themes at all. Using stock garland theme (although this was an upgraded site, not a fresh install). Any ideas?

try changing the default theme from garland to something else like blue marine
does functionality return ?

if so, change it back, does functionality return ?
if not try replacing the theme files, its possible something is corrupted.

Same behavior in bluemarine or garland.

I do suspect some problem with the theme files. But I think I had compared them to the plain vanilla ones. I'm going to do a separate fresh 5.2 install and compare files & behavior...

I am having the same problem and I really don't want to do a fresh install if I don't have to. I have tried changing themes around, but I still can't access those menus. I know that the themes were upgraded, because there were new .php files that I had to modify slightly because of some small modifications I had made previously. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

I just checked my scripts against a fresh install and found that I had copied my old scripts from my old misc directory over the new ones. Once I corrected this everything worked again.

I've done a proper upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 and now user 1 can't access any advanced settings for nodes. Changing themes didn't help. There is no custom code - just the Drupal core and a few modules in sites/all/modules. Everything's been properly upgraded. I'm at loss.
