I have a web (the root web) where the Publishing Infrastructure Feature is activated on site level and inside the same web (root web of site collection) the Publishing Web Feature is also activated. There is "Pages" library with a default.aspx
in it and the web is using it as welcome page (and it can be access without problems).
But somehow the Publishing Web Feature is broken. On default.aspx
(or any other page inside that web) I don't have the "Page Layout" option in the ribbon - it is the normal ribbon that non publishing pages normally use. Other webs in the same site collection behave normally and a page layout it selectable.
I tried deactivating the Publishing Web Feature and reactivating it (with force) but this doesn't help. Well it only helps if I also delete the "Pages" library first and then reactivate the feature so that the library is created completely new (but this time as "Seiten" (german)). But then I would lose some important pages inside the library.
So something is currently missing which is correctly set inside the newly created library or is happening inside the feature activation but I don't know what it is. Maybe it has something to do with the language/localization as the new library gets a different name.
The properties PagesListId, PagesListName and PagesList are correctly set.
Any ideas?
