Does this only happen in the front-end? Can you create / editor articles in the admin?

Good Morning Ryan,

I just checked that, and the problem occors in both Front and Back end. My Joomla! says "Currently no update available.
You are on the "Default" update channel. Through this channel you'll receive notifications for all updates of the current Joomla release (5.x)"

You have two profiles - Default and Front-End. Default is assigned to the front-end and to the admin, but because it was ordered before the Front-end profile, this profile was always selected in the front-end. 

The Default profile was assigned only to the "Categories" component, which means it would only be loaded when creating or editing a Joomla Category. Because this was not what you were doing in the admin or front-end in your tests, a non-editable content area was displayed.

This has been fixed on your site:

  • I have removed the Category assignment in the Default profile.
  • I have re-ordered the profiles so Front-end is assigned if you are in the Front-end (and meet the other profile criteria).

You may want to edit the profiles and add the Pro options you required to each, e.g.: Image Manager Extended, Media Manager, etc.
