Issue

  • When upgrading from Liferay 7.0 or earlier to 7.3, existing Widget Pages do not show the Edit icon as observed when creating new Content Pages

Environment

  • DXP 7.3

Resolution

  • Content Pages by default show the Edit icon, and this Page type was introduced in DXP 7.1 to provide a way to create pages with inline content. Reference: Using Content Pages
  • Existing Widget Pages can still be used with normal functionality as is, but there is also an option to convert existing Widget Pages to Content Pages using the Pages UI (Site Builder > Pages >  Actions Menu (Actions) > Preview and convert to Content Page) if desired. Reference: Converting Widget Pages to Content Pages
