[resolved] White text on white textarea (9 posts)

    I recently upgraded to 3.1.2, and I noticed that I can't see what I'm typing in the text area (white text in a white textarea). I'm using the default theme (for now).

    I've tried viewing the element (I have Chrome) and looking for that class in the stylesheets, but I cannot seem to find it? I can post to the blog and it shows up normally. http://the-deamon.com/?p=120
    I just can't see what I'm typing in the admin add area without highlighting the text... and it is getting really annoying.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Have you tried:

    - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    - switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    There are the two default plugins listed, both of which are deactivated (and have never been activated). I am using the Twenty Ten theme, with no other themes installed. I reuploaded the plugins theme and this is still happening.
    Here is what I am seeing: http://the-deamon.com/badtext.png

    also, I don't know if this is related or not, but I can't seem to switch between the html and visual tabs.

    I reuploaded the plugins theme

    Sorry? You re-uploaded what?

    I definitely believe the faster would be to reinstall wordpress, to get rid of the probability something went wrong during the previous install/upgrade.

    It's fast and easy, definitely faster than all other debugging options.

    Dashboard > Updates > Reinstall wordpress. In one click, and no personal data is at risk.

    At Sabinou - I noticed this was happening (after updating) and then I took everything down (cleaning site) and used a different download to completely reinstall the website, same problem.

    Esmi - Sorry, I meant the plugins folder >.<

    Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).

    That worked, thanks Esmi!
