Cannot view Tag Properties in SharePoint Designer 2013

Question

I created a list from a spreadsheet and added a view with a Text Filter. I want to use parameters to create the wildcard filter. I did this on one site already in the same SharePoint 2016 on Premises tenant using the same spreadsheet.

When I edit the file in SharePoint Designer 2013, I right click the XsltListViewWebPart tag and choose Tag Properties whereupon the Page Properties dialog shows. I need to be able to get the XsltListViewWebPart to show by editing the tag properties. Both sites use the Team Site template and both feature sets are identical.

Answer 1

It turns out this was related to the Oslo.master page. This was the only difference I could find so I switched it to Seattle.master under site settings and the tag properties worked immediately. I was able to create the wildcard parameter for my list. I hope this helps someone.
