Can't move text

I have some fantasy football trophies that I made last year. I put the text on a curve that looks like a toilet seat. The problem is now I can’t move the text, I can move the toilet seat shape. If I cntrl D I can duplicate it and move it anywhere but once I place it then I can no longer move that set either. All my layers are set ot show. What am I missing?

A screenshot (not a phone pic please) will help us see what you’re seeing. Upload the file also so we can check it.

You have probably converted your text to Path.

So if I convert text to path then I can no longer move the text?

No, if you convert text to a path, it is no longer editable as text.

Did you use the “apply path to text” command or curve the text with the blue dot in the text box?
If the former, you need to move the path it was applied to in order to move it. Or you can delete the path it was applied to and it will revert to straight text.
