    I installed a fresh copy of Revo on my local machine (running MAMP PRO) just as I've done numerous times before. The install went fine with the exception of a few warnings (which I've not had before) about certain folders and the config file not being writable which I changed. All seemed well.

    I installed several Packages without any warnings: CKEditor, Trendy theme, Articles ... but for some reason CKEditor and the Trendy theme are not showing, meaning rich-text fields do not show the editor and the Manager still uses the default theme. I've installed these Packages locally many times without issue.

    I've manually cleared core/cache without change and I don't see any other warnings in the Manager. If it's a setting problem I'm not sure where to look. This is just a guess but the only thing that's changed recently is that I now work from a non-admin account on my Mac and all my previous Revo installs where done from an admin account. However, all those previous installs still work fine, it's just this new one that's behaving a little strangely.

    Also, the other difference is that this site has a git repo installed.

    Thanks
    Revo 2.2.6

      Try making that user a sudo user (Security -> Manage Users). If that makes the problem go away, you know it's permission-related.

        Turns out the 'components' and 'templates' folders were not writable. Problem solved.
