One of our developers recently changed the redercontrol for the Richtext editor to a plain textbox. After doing this (and reverting the change) none of our content will show up in the umbraco admin pages. The content does, however, show up on the site and appears to exist in the database's ContentXml table.

Is there a good way to get this fixed without resorting to a database backup? Pray

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Leedo!

I just repeated the steps you described in a dev site (clean 3.0.5) of mine...

When I switched render control to textbox multiple I was still able to see the content but as html of course...

The content didn't disappear until I changed the "Database datatype" to something else, I changed it to NVarChar and published the page. Then when I changed back to NText (the default one) the content was gone.

Is these the same steps you took?

Anyway, the content isn't lost it's just rewritten with a new version ID. This happens each time you save or publish a page...

If nothing weird has happened, you should be able use the rollback feature from the context menu to change back to the previous version... but only for one page at the time...

It looks like the database datatype got changed to NVarChar in the process. Luckily we didn't try to publish anything after the change, so changing the datatype back to NText seems to have fixed the problem!

Thanks for your help Drool
