Cannot edit posts in 3.3.

    Since upgrading last night, almost nothing works on my edit page works, including the help tab. I can see the red underline dots where the misspellings are, but I can’t see the text and I can’t switch to HTML view. I can publish and preview, but I can’t edit.

    I deactivated all my plugins, and it still doesn’t work (and now my site is a mess).

    Also, the usual wordpress favicon is missing too. What’s going on?

    Rename the plugins folder to plugins-old (yes, I know, deactivating SHOULD have done that). Then dump your browser cache completely – Kill it with fire.

    I have the same problem 🙁
    and I have uninstalled / deactivated the proofreader “After the deadline”. I am still not able to change between html and visual view.

    Ipstenu thanks for the help but that didn’t work either! I wish I never upgraded to 3.3

    Hi Alexa, I just wanted to double check, have you already ran through the basic troubleshooting steps?

    – 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 Eleven 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.

    Hi Brad. The only think I haven’t tried on your list is switching to Twenty Eleven. I’ll try that, but I’m a little hesitant. Won’t that change the whole look of my site?

    Hi Alexa, yes it will change the look of your site, but only for a moment or two while you actually test it.

    Ok I’ve also done that now, and I still couldn’t edit posts under the Twenty Eleven theme. I switched it back. I guess it’s a mystery

    Is there a way to call wordpress and get help?

    I don’t believe there is actually a WordPress phone number, but you could google for WordPress Paid Technical Support and I’m sure you could hire a third party developer to review the issue for you.

    WordPress is a free product, supported only by this free forum staffed by volunteers (like me). You can hire people at jobs.wordpress.net or codepoet.com if you’re in need. Otherwise, it’s the forums.

    Have you read through ALL of this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-33-master-list

    It looks like I’ve done everything except the manual install, which I’m worried to do on my own. Thanks for your help, guys. I didn’t realize you were volunteers.

    You might want to check if your JAVA is working, http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

    If so, you can also try deleting the wp-admin folder and uploading a fresh copy to the server. Wp-admin contains all the javascripts used to run the back-in. It is possible that one is contaminated.

    The manual update is easy and safe as houses 🙂 Can you copy files to a new folder? You can totally do this 😀 And I promise that you won’t be deleting any of the files you’ve customized, like plugins and themes.

    Grab a fresh ZIP from http://wordpress.org/download/

    Thanks for the encouragement. I did the manual update and checked the Java. Nothing is working. I still can’t see my posts. The only plugins I have left are askimet, google-analyticator, subscribe-to-comments, and wp-db-backup. I’ve deactivated and reactivated all of them with no results. I’m not sure what else to do.
