Not being able to rotate or scale in blender 2.79 I'm working on a model right now but it seems I have accidentally pressed a bind, that locks the rotation and scale to be changed in the 3D-View. I can still change it through the Properties menu though.
I have searched on YouTube and found a video that has the solution in it, but only for blender 2.8.
with the item selected in object mode hit &quot;n&quot; opening the tool shelf and showing the transforms. See if the padlock by the problem transforms is closed. if so click on it to unlock it.
