      That's parser-related. If you (have) use(d) pdoTools, reinstalling it will normally fix that, or making sure the parser related settings are empty will restore that back to the default.

              Agree with you mate. Reinstalling pDOtolls will fix this maybe.

                Even Reinstalling pDOtolls didn't work mate.

                  Do you have the FastField extra installed? If so, removing it may help. TinyMCE can also cause trouble.

                  You can also try manually deleting all files in the core/cache directory.

                  What version of MODX are you running?
