Have you tried:
– 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 default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?
Esmi,
Yes, I have tried both and they didn’t have any effect on the problem. I also reinstalled the entire wp-admin folder thinking something may have gotten corrupted. No luck.
I’m out of ideas.
Here is what I’ve ruled out so far:
Corrupted file(s) in wp-admin, wp-includes
Database errors (repaired and optimized using WP-DBManager plugin)
Creating a new page DOES work.
Anyone have any ideas to lend?
I’ve duplicated the error in both Firefox and IE. Also realized the footer does not load so it appears the page stops loading at some point mid page.
Problem has been solved.
The blog in question belongs to a friend who recently moved from Blogger to WordPress. He uses an insane amount of tags and when he imported those in, they came in as categories. WordPress was trying to display all of them when calling the editor and it cause the server to freak out due to the amount of memory required to call all 6,000 plus categories. I had to increase the amount of memory PHP scripts are allowed to use, then increase the amount of time they are allowed to run, then convert all the categories to tags in order for the post editor to load again.
That was insanity and I’m very happy to have figured it out.
