Classic Editor – Not Showing
-
I had been having issues with a fresh installation of WordPress and the Classic Editor not showing (i’d just see blank space showing where it should be when editing a page).
I tried working through several of the various forum posts attempting to fix the issue (e.g. disabling other plugins and using standard themes – but the problem still existed with a blank/standard/clean wordpress install). But it was this forum post: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/common-classic-editor-errors-and-how-to-fix-them/ by @azaozz that got me eventually to the solution (although he only pushed me in the right direction to find it).
After investigating with the Jquery migration plugin i could indeed see there was an error on the pages where the editor should appear. Though didnt give any useful info apart from a Line no which i didnt understand how to read. This prompted me to open the Chrome developer console.
Voila! This showed that there was and error occuring and gave me a clue as to why:
Mixed Content: The page at ‘<URL>’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet ‘<URL>’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
It seems that an ‘insecure’ emoji (/wp-includes/js/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=5.7) was preventing the plugin to completing!
I immediately investigated my Cloudflare SSL/TLS settings – noticing they were set to ‘Flexible’ – I changed setting to ‘Full’. And Classic Editor magically reappeared! Wow, it only took me a day to chase this around!
Anyway, I hope this saves others the headache – I also wonder if there is something that can be done to with the ‘insecrure’ emoji file to make it secure, to remove this as an error entirely….??? I wonder if @azaozz can help with that one?
