Hosting Bug or Bug in WordPress 2.6 – On Visual Editor

by Dexter Damien Chan on August 13, 2008

in WordPress

Just encountered a bug which I have no idea on its origin – my Hosting Package or within WordPress 2.6 itself? But after doing a search, seems like both can be the culprits.

The bug, if you should encounter, is this: When you are creating a new post (within WordPress 2.6), the format of posting style is only in HTML format, though the tab is on the Visual. To really confirm that the bug exists, try clicking on the HTML tab, you will not be able to click to it.

The actual link that you can read more on is this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/190092 and http://wordpress.org/support/topic/165449/page/2?replies=53#post-794848

The Solutions that I have tried are this, in chronological orders:

  • Remove the Browser Cache and Internet Files
  • Change CHMOD (permission settings to files) to 777 for files:
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/blank.html
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/license.txt
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_ext.js
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_popup.js
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wordpress.css
    • /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-mce-help.php
  • Both methods did not work well for me, so I decided to try out this new method:
    • Remove the cache javascript file from the /wp-content/uploads/js_cache folder.
    • Completely delete the contents of the /wp-includes/js.
    • Copy of the contents of the js folder from the wordpress installation files.
    • Run up your admin page and check to see if its fixed.

The above and last method works like wonders and finally solve this issue. If you do have a similar issue, do a back-up of your database first and try the above methods to resolve this issue.

If you have other successful methods, please do share with other readers here. Thanks in advance!
