 * Has anyone seen this before? I am trying to edit a page and the edit pane disappeared…
   I’ve tried disabling non-standard plugins to no avail.

 * yes. completely empty.
    and then uploading a version of wordpress.
 * I have tried that on both my main domain and my subdomains.
 * Everything else is working really well (now that my sites are up), except these
   few admin panels.

 * Have you tried a different browser to see if it is a caching issue?

 * Yes. I usually use Safari, but I have also tried in Firefox.
    (I know Safari 
   often has some issues… it seems Safari 5 has some probs with Flash, so I usually
   try things on Firefox as well.)

 * Right – this is what fixed it for me… I found it online in a forum concerning
   1and1 servers. It may help. I uploaded the following info (saved as .htaccess)
   to my server root and hey presto!!
 * <files .htaccess>
    order allow,deny deny from all </files>
 * ServerSignature Off
 * <files wp-config.php>
    order allow,deny deny from all </files>
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.
   php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Options All -Indexes
    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

 * To clarify (for non-tecchies) the file name should be literally called “.htaccess”
   not “something.htaccess” and it will likely be recognised as a “hidden” system
   file, in which case you’ll need to enable the presence of hidden files in Windows
   or Mac OS X.
 * Worked for me anyway…… 🙂

   file but not open. O_O

 * To clarify – I shouldn’t have said “root of my server”. My .htaccess file is 
   stored in the same location as the folders ‘wp-admin’, ‘wp-content’, ‘wp-includes’,
   and with all the other php files..

 * so really you mean your WP directory?
    maybe I will try it there instead…

 * EGADS!
    No, that was terrible… putting it there just meant that when I went to
   log in to my page it just downloaded the php file!

 * Shame it still isn’t doing the trick.. I’m not sure whether the content of .htaccess
   needs specific custom server information, but it sure stopped any issues for 
   me. It’s probably no coincidence that the original thread I read was related 
   to “1and1 servers”, which I am running my system on…
 * Hopefully someone can get to the bottom of this for you,

 * My host emails me back today and says it’s a problem with PHP 5.3… so I was right.
 * I’m like… YTF do you say you can support wordpress when you are using software
   that is incompatible???
    GRRR.
