Global Check-in

When you see a padlock next to something that you want to edit, it means that component is "Checked-out". This can happen for many reasons. To remove it:

  1. Joomla 1.5: Tools > Global Check-in
  2. Joomla 1.0: System menu > Global Check-in

If there are checked out components a green tick will appear next to everything that has been checked back in. Empty the trash

  1. Log in to your website
  2. In Joomla 1.5 the Trash managers are under the appropriate menu - eg for Articles Trash go to the Articles Menu, for Menus Trash go to the Menus menu
  3. In Joomla 1.0 Click on the trash manager icon in the homepage (or use the Site >Trash Manager). Note the drop down menu showing Menu and Content items - choose what the appropriate option
  4. Tick the item that you want to delete
  5. Click on delete
  6. The website will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the item
