My Ipad air display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode.

My Ipad air display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restarting multiple times, cleared all data and settings (after backing up into iTunes) just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still it is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode.

iPad Air, iOS 8.1.3

Is the toggle switch set to control the correct function? It can be set to control both Mute and Orientation Lock. Make sure it's set correctly within settings: Settings/General/Use Side Switch To:" There's also now a toggle within Control Center (swipe up from above the Home button) that lets you set the Orientation Lock.
