• I just upgraded a wordpress site of mine to 3.2, others upgraded fine but now when I go into the dashboard of the site, and try to edit a page, I only get a white box with white HTML inside. I can’t edit pages and I can’t switch from visual (which has the white HTML) to HTML editing.

    I’ve disabled all the plugins, cleared my cache, deleted and re-uploaded wordpress files, and tried it on other browsers.

    I am still stuck with this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

  • Try switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    I tried that too, it is only showing up as a problem in the dashboard on the post editing area and page editing area.

    Check this, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-32-master-list?replies=7

    Delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. DO NOT delete the wp-content folder. Download a fresh copy of 3.2, unzip and upload the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. Don’t copy over – make sure you delete.

    Yes, deleted wp-admin and wp-includes, uploaded new files, then did this with all files (except wp-content) but didn’t help.

    I’m trying to avoid having to reinstall everything, it is a large site.

    Could you check wp-includes/js/tinymce and make sure it is 755.

    Also check this, http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

    Also try adding

    define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );

    to the wp-config.php. This can be added somewhere near the top or the middle but not at the bottom.

    wp-includes/js/tinymce is 755

    And I’ve tried adding the code to the config.

    WordPress 3.2 has worked on other sites on the same server, just this one has the problem.

    I think you will have to do a manual install, http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended

    Somewhere there is a javascript conflict. If you know how to use firebug with Firefox or web developer tool with IE9 you can check the js files as they execute, otherwise I am out of ideas.

    I went ahead and re-installed wordpress this morning but I am still having this problem.

    Everything below “Add new page” is white or just the editor? Do you see publish, page attributes, etc.?

    Yeah I see everything I regularly see, Only the text in the editable area is all white (my spell check caught the HTML so I could see the red under the text, that’s how I know it’s white).

    I can’t switch from visual to HTML either.

    The screen shot shows you in visual mode with html buttons.

    [Edit] It also shows permalink wrong – it shouldn’t be there unless you have saved the draft or published and when there it should not be just “http:”

    I’m having the same issue. My screen looks just like @dennis2’s. I think the Page and Post editing pages are missing some JavaScript. The admin footer scripts link that is loaded on the other pages is missing on these pages.

    Note: on these pages nothing happens when I click the “Howdy, {username}” link and the Screen Options link, whereas on the other pages they drop down or slide open as usual.

    When I open Firebug in Firefox 6 and click the “Fullscreen” button in the visual editor, the console says “fullscreen is not defined.”

    When I click the HTML tab to switch to that editor, the console says “switchEditors is not defined.”

    If you go to the pages where the “Howdy” link and the Screen Options link are working and you look in the footer in the HTML, you’ll see the link to the script loader which contains everything that’s missing from the Page and Post edit pages.

    Actually, I didn’t even realize it until now, these pages are missing the closing script blocks, the closing body tag and the closing html tag.

    Everything after the #footer div is missing.
