XSLT / JS error loading TinyMCE

    This has happened to me periodically with WordPress from 2.0 through 2.0.4. Something happens and TinyMCE won’t load anymore. It appears to be an XSLT error in tiny_mce_gzip.php, which then results in a JavaScript error. I think that recreating my DB from scratch will fix it for a while (and specifically I think the categories table might be involved, but I’m not sure), but that’s obviously a lot of work and the problem returns. Any idea what’s going on?

    I haven’t a clue 🙂

    But it’d be interesting to know what browser and OS you’re using. If Firefox, what extensions?

    You mention an error – do you have happen to have the exact wording?

    I don’t actually think this is browser-based, and indeed it happens in IE, Firefox 1.5, and Camino. The JS error seems simply to be a result of the fact that TinyMCE hasn’t loaded properly. The root problem is the aforementioned XSLT error in tiny_mce_gzip.php.

    If I load tiny_mce_gzip.php directly in the browser (with the ver=20051211 query string that WordPress passes it) I see the XSLT errors in full. The first is “XML parser error 2: syntax error” and unless I’m greatly mistaken it’s being generated on the server by PHP’s XSLT parser.

    Whoops, my bad. It was my weird server .htaccess configuration which post-processes PHP with XSLT. Normally it doesn’t touch JS files but because this one has a .php extension it was trying to.
