I created a vanilla site collection using the Publishing Portal template. Backed it up using stsadm –o backup command line then restored it over the same site collection using the stsadm –o restore command line. This resulted in the site Master Page changing appearance as follows:
Before (Vanilla newly created):
After (backed up and restored over vanilla):
As you can see the Top Navigation bar is white and the logo in the top left has disappeared.
I managed to resolve this by opening the Master Page in SharePoint Designer, not checking it our, altering it or saving it, JUST opening it. This fixed the issue. I am running MOSS 2007 SP2. I tried this on another SP2 system and got the same results.
Very strange that just looking at the Master Page in SPD 2007 fixes this.
SharePoint is spooky.
