Adobe InDesign/Text over image

Question
My text won't show up when placed over an image. All I can see is the text frame. I've tried everything, including ignoring the text wrap. Could you PLEASE help me!

Answer
Does your text have a blending mode applied to it, if so remove it. Try bringing the text frame to the front. Put the text frame on its own layer and move that layer to the top. And double-check that you have the text frame selected and go to text frame options and turn on ignore text wrap.
