Sitecore 8.1: Layout Switcher disabled

votes

I'm using Sitecore.NET 8.1 (rev. 160302), Everything seems to work fine but the Layout Switcher ribbon in experience editor mode is disabled. There is no client error or server error.

Disabed Layout Switcher

The application was updated from Sitecore 8 to 8.1.

Assuming this is a multi-site solution, this blog post states that setting Preview.ResolveSite to true from within the Sitecore.config settings file will resolve the problem. If this property doesn't exist there, your SLN may have a patch for Sitecore settings elsewhere under /App_Config/Include.

I recently set up an 8.1 instance that had this setting set to false by default.

Also, set "SiteResolvingMatchCurrentLanguage" to false for multi-lingual sites where the content editor is using a different language than the site's language. If the sc_site parameter contains the wrong site, the layout buttons get disabled.
