Hello everyone,

I recently upgraded my 4.4.2 drupal site with the latest 4.5 CVS version. Everything went OK, with one notable exception - when I want to create content - be it a story, page, poll or image - I only see the "Preview" button, but not the "Submit" one. As such, I can't create new content; I can only look at it and appreciate its beauty :)

I checked permissions, and I do have them; I also happen to be the user with ID 1. I tried various themes, thinking that it might be a themming issue, but no, the button is missing regardless of the theme employed. Anyone else seen this? I appreciate any feedback you guys might have.

The submit button only appears when the item was validated. Most likely an old 4.4 contrib module is preventing validation from doing its job. Disable any non-core modules and see if that fixes it.

Well, I tried the following:

1. Disabled all non-required modules. Save.
2. Re-uploaded the latest tarball
3. Enabled only "node" and "story" modules. Save.

The problem persists. I can only see the preview button if I want to create a story.

Does the 'Submit' button become available after you clicked 'Preview'? I guess not, but if so, check the 'preview post' setting at 'administer - content - configure' settings.

The submit button does not become available after pressing preview. I should've said that in my previous post.

Here's something interesting: I do not have the option you mentioned! I can do administer/content and that's it. There's no submenu called "configure". On administer/content I can see the list of published/not published articles and some filtering options, and that's it. So maybe the upgrade process did not go as smooth as I thought...

OK, I found the culprit. I'm sharing this to see if other people can replicate the behavior.

In my admin/content settings I had the option "preview post" set to "required". This had the curios effect of not enabling the submit button at all, even after pressing "preview". As soon as I reverted back to "optional", everything came back to normal.

Dries, you were right - I did have that option, only that it wasn't visible under my current theme (customized). It became visible the minute I enabled the default theme. So the morale is that I need to modify my existing theme to better coexist with 4.5.
