When i open a page to edit it, and click 'stop using layout for this page', and choose any option in the popup, the button to submit is greyed out and I can't use the default editor at all. I'm not sure why layouts are even applying to pages, it seems to have done this after a recent update.
Layouts 1.9 introduced the "Content Layout Editor" which, if you will, is a kind of Layouts-Lite used just to edit the post content area of individual posts and pages which works with most themes out-of-the-box and doesn't require the theme integration used for the full version of Layouts.
But it shouldn't do anything unless you actively use it. So on a page or post edit screen, there is an orange Content Layout Editor button. Without pressing it you would be using the normal post editor. Once you have pressed it you can use Layouts like a page builder to design the content, and only once you save that design will Layouts "take over" the post editor, which is the position you find yourself in now.
In your case did something happen differently than described above? You didn't edit your pages with the Content Layout Editor at any time but are now stuck using it?
Perhaps I accidentally clicked the orange button to switch to layout mode? I can't recall, but its possible. It doesn't explain why I can't get out of it though and revert to the normal editor?
Thanks for the debug info, which mostly looks in order.
I may need to take a copy of your site for testing, but before I do...
1. Does this happen just on one page or on all pages and posts?
2. Can you eliminate the possibility that this is caused by a conflict from one of your plugins or your theme? Switch to a default theme such as twentyseventeen and test again. And disable all non-Toolset plugins and test again.
Let me know what you find, and if that doesn't reveal anything I'll set up a private reply so I can get a copy of your site.
I tested and confirmed the issue with The Events Manager plugin and am reporting that to our developers so that the conflict can be identified and, hopefully, resolved.
There isn't a free version of WP Member available for me to test. Can I ask you to make a zipped copy of the plugin available at a URL such as dropbox so that we can test that, too?
I will mark your next reply as private so that you can share the URL and only I will see it. (You can ignore the template which asks for log-in credentials.)
Thanks for that. I have escalated this thread and passed the details on to second tier who are debugging the plugin conflict and I'll update you when there is some news to report.
This is a quick update to say that the issue has been identified and fixed by the developers and the fix will be available in the next Layouts release.
A quick update to alert you that we published updates to our plugins yesterday which include the fix for this issue, so updating Toolset should now resolve the problem.
This ticket is now closed. If you're a WPML client and need related help, please open a new support ticket.
