I am creating a 1 page document for a company but I can't seem to move the frame of the logo image! I have tried turning off the content grabber, using the selection tool, the direct selection tool, literally everything I can think of. This is the only image on the entire page. the rest is just a bit of text which I have no problem moving around...

Went into the layers panel and hightlighted then left clicked the logo and clicked Select Item(s) and now it moves but thats the only way I can move it. At least it moves tho.

I'd guess it's on the Parent page.

 

Or it's on a locked layer.

 

Or the object itself is locked.

 

Or some combination of the 3.

Just checked all of those and its not it. I thought at first it was a bug so I updated Indesign but no difference was made. It's strange cause I can move the image around but wherever it's outside the frame it gets cut off. The other day I could move it around no problem just with selection tool. I've been going through literally everything onine about people who had similar problems but nothing I do seems to fix it

In as case like this, my guess is that the logo frame is either locked or on a Master/Parent page (or both)

It could be that another object is above which is hindering you to grab that logo. Look into the layer panel, expand it and select the page, if it is not there, do the same in its parent page, if it is not there, go to the parent of the parent, and so on.
