      *Hi, I am on the frontpage, I created one html block, edited it and it was there, edited.
      Later I added another html block, one course/site summary block and there I started to see problems.

      • I can't edit the blocks. It seems that I can edit them, or delete them (the system asks "really want to delete?" I say yes, and nothing deleted, or change if edited. None of the 3 blocks I have in there.

      Then, I start to search on forums and in here. What do I try with no success?

      1. hide/unhide, delete cache, logout, try another template, try another language... No way.
      2. lock/unlock component. It was locked and told me "you can't delete". Unlocked, it said "deleted" but nothing was deleted or edited again.
      3. I found [this post |-MDL-35374- Cannot delete blocks off frontpage - Moodle Tracker ]which suggests

       

      As site admin, go to front page, <server url>/index.php?redirect=0. It is important to have redirect=0, or else you will be redirected to the "My Moodle" page instead of the frontpage.
      Turn editing on
      Delete the block
      

       

      I could delete the block in front page in my admin index, but at site.com//admin/settings.php?section=frontpagesettings There are still the blocks.

       

      I can show/hide the blocks. But I can't edit or delete them. If fact, I deleted the summary block in "?redirect=0" and it's not shown anywhere for other users, but I still see it at section frontpage settings.
