#Labels are turned "on" and the Field is set; but labels do not display.
I'm working in ArcGIS Pro 2.5.4
What could be the problem?
Thanks!
Thanks. I was having the same problem. I turned off Maplex and then turned it back on and ..... the labels appeared.
Repair geometry fixed it for me.
Praise the lord. Thanks
I had a similar issue. For some reason, I had "Use Maplex Labeling Engine" checked off - checking it back on solved the problem.
Changing basemaps can remove some labels. Basemap labels may trump feature labels.
This was my issue. I used a graphic layer for the ocean in a coastal region and even though it was in the background, it caused my labels to not show up
Fixed my labels as well, thanks a lot for sharing!
I had this issue and checked all the fields in the table. Under "Shape_Area", the feature had a NEGATIVE value (no idea how...). I ran the repair geometry tool on that one feature and it recalculated the area and began to label the feature properly.
Fixed my issue - thanks!
I figure out why I don't see label is because of this in beyond and out beyond has a setting limit label.
After I set both to NONE, then label appeared.
In case anyone else is here with this issue and none of the above worked, I had the same issue and not sure why it was not showing. Click on the Class dropdown in the Label Class group and select Create Label Classes from Symbology > then click on the first symbol and select OK. This worked for me.
Run 'repair geometry' on the offending layer.
Worked when nothing else would. Un-freaking believable. Thanks, Jorge.
Made another label class, identical to the hostile one, and the new one works as it should. Let's move on to fry bigger fish.
I'm getting this. Yellow is a service, symbol and label expressions, tried ev.ry.thi.ng.
My label doesn't show up even if I turned it on, my map has a lot of labels to show so it is running very slow, the label shows up sometimes but I have no luck so far keeping them until I export the pdf.
In case anyone else is here with this issue and none of the above worked, my problem was that my labels stopped drawing half way through a session (ArcPRO 2.9.1). I worked out that I had written an expression for my labels on my polygon dataset, then later on joined my polygon dataset to a table AFTER setting my label expression. The join to the table changed the names of the fields. For example, this expression [fieldName1]&" "&[fieldName2]
becomes
[datasetName.fieldName1]&" "&[datasetName.fieldName2]
so the labels no worker worked.
For those none of the above worked, mine is two issues:
1. Too many labels to show, but my laptop is not fast, none discrete GPU. Although the right bottom corner "refresh" icon is stop rotating, the labels still didn't show up.
So I googled and arrived on this web page. After I read through, and return to my ArcGIS Pro 2.8, the labels showed up by itself!
2. A lower layer could cover up an upper layer! Yes, I saw with my own eyes. I re-order the two layers many times. The lower one will cover up the upper one!!!
In case anyone else is here with this issue and none of the above worked, my problem was that I had a large graphic rectangle covering the map background (since I've found a bug that prevents background colors from being set). I shut off the graphic layer and the labels placed. You can fix the graphics presenting a barrier by going to the Labeling tab>Map group>More>Weights...>Graphic Layers tab and setting your graphics to None.
Check to see if the Pause button is engaged under the Labeling tab on the ribbon. It's nested in the Map group. I had my labels paused for... reasons and it was applied across subsequent map sessions.
Thanks for all those suggestions, Lukas
As it it turns out, a "class" was created for those Labels; then someone went in and removed them so it was no longer available to select!

Hello Craig,
Like Eric pointed out there are a number of factors that could contribute to this behavior. This can range from the Pro settings, Labeling settings, the data type, how it was generated, etc. So you can understand how your question may be a bit difficult to address. However I've got a few general things you could try.
If none of these workarounds provide the labels you need it may be worthwhile uploading the data to a shared drive and posting the link here. That way I can bring it in on my end and get a better idea of what's going on. If this is not possible, I've got some questions to try and narrow down the cause.
I hope this helps,
Lukas
Simply trying to display labels based on a Field. There is nothing else on the map that needs labels.
Please share what some of these factors are that could cause simple labeling to not work - thanks!
There are a number of factors that may be affecting the display of your labels. Are there other other layers in your map display that are labeled? Did you create a label expression or are you simply trying to draw labels based on a single field?
