: When I type on path, my shape fill is gone. How do I fill my shape after I type on path? How do I fill my circle and still keep my type on path message?

Use the Direct Selection Tool (white arrow) to select the path.

You can see if you use the normal Selection Tool (black arrow), the top bar will show you have "Type" selected and the color of your type will show in the color panel:



Selecting the path itself with the Direct Selection Tool will show you have selected an "Anchor Point" (or "Path" if you select the whole path, but with no fill you need to select every anchor point to do that) and the fill and stroke color will show as none:



Set your fill and stroke as you wish:
