 * I recently upgraded my site to WordPress 4.0.1 and with the new installation,
   I cannot use the “Quick Edit” link on the All Posts page in the admin area. I
   also cannot use any of the editing features in the “Publish” box on the Edit 
   Post page.
 * I’ve tried deactivating all of the plugins and that didn’t help and I’ve also
   tried reinstalling WordPress – also didn’t help. I even downloaded a plugin to
   search for errors in the database and none were found.
 * Any ideas on how I can begin editing the date/time/publishing status of my posts
   again? Thanks.

 * Hi Jose – yes, I tried both of those and neither helped. Also, I allowed my hosting
   company’s tech team access to the admin area and they ran into the same issue
   on their computers (I don’t know where they’re located).

 * How did you re-install? Dashboard? Have you tried manually via FTP?

 * I re-installed both with the dashboard and when that didn’t help I did it manually
   via FTP and that didn’t help.

 * Did you find a solution? I’m struggling with the same problem now. Quick edit
   is not popping any additional markup / is not working at all.

 * Hi Surykat – my hosting company’s tech team traced the problem to something to
   do with my current theme, which I custom designed. Apparently, the new version
   of WordPress doesn’t play nice with custom made designs that have worked with
   prior versions of the system. Since there’s no telling which of my edits to the
   theme is causing the problem, my alternative now is to retrofit a new theme with
   my current design. That’ll be a tremendous pain in the neck, but it is what it
   is, I guess.

 * This problem was fixed with the 4.1 update.
