Edit Page option is disabled\grayed out

Recently I got one issue, one user raised it saying like his edit page option was disabled(the ‘Edit page’ option in the Site Actions menu is disabled (greyed-out)!)
This is not an error. Edit page command will be disabled when another user has checked-out that particular page. To see which user has done so you will need to navigate to Pages library on your site.
If you have the right permissions and you need to edit the page, you can show the page editing toolbar and then click on Page -> Override Check Out. This will undo any changes the other users has made and the page will be checked out to you, but is useful if you really need to make a modification to the page.

Thanks !

Use Confirmation Page


Recently I came across a weird issue, one of the user raised an incident that he can't see the use-confirmation page and he is getting access denied error in-spite of having administrative rights on the site.

I checked myself and confirmd that he was one of a site collection admin, when I myself tried to access that page, I was getting SQL error, that page doesn't exist.

I searched a lot and found some solution, below are the steps:

Use Confirmation page URL : http://sitename/_layouts/useconfirmation.aspx

Description: This page is used to confirm that this site is in use,
Issue type: If anytime you get access denied error that means, this site has read only access or might get locked

Solution:


  • Go to --> central admin--> application management---> 


  • under site collection--> configure quotas & lock


  • select the desirable site---> and check "lock status for this site" should be selected as "Not locked"


And that's it, it  should work.
