Thank you Tara. I tried all that Josh mentioned on that thread before and I was still unable to edit posts/pages. My editor loads fine (both visual and text), I’m able to make changes yet when I press save, it all goes back to the way it was before.
I want to also mention that this doesn’t happen with new posts published after the 3.9.2 update, only with posts/pages before the update. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would really appreciate the help.

what theme are you using? Where did you download it from? Is it compatible with 3.9.2
I currently have Radiate by ThemeGrill activated (through wordpress) but as I mentioned, I tried it with WP’s Twenty Fourteen, turned off all plugins, cleared browsers and it still wouldn’t work. I also checked the Radiate theme forums and no one else appeared to have this issue.
I used Chrome and this is what it said, “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ; on index line … ” I checked a bunch of different pages and they all pointed to the line with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">paginateVal = ;</script> <script type="text/javascript">
But does that have anything to do with it?

Could be.
I am not that familiar with error.
Hope someone more familiar with this error can chime in here.
Have you tried scanning your database with something like All In One WP Security & Firewall? If deactivating plugins and switching to an unmodified default theme didn’t help, it could be something in your database.
Thank you Craig, I scanned my database and it came up “clear.” Then I contacted my host provider and he too went through my database and said it was fine. I’m at a loss here. All my years on wordpress and I’ve never come across something like this.
Are there large images or just a bunch of content in general in your posts? At the server level,post_max_size is set to a limit the same as upload_max_filesize which is 8MB. I have seen that happen before where someone could not post more than 5000 characters because of the limit set in the PHP settings on the server.
I have both words and images in my posts but my images are all between 600kB and 800kB. I don’t have any on there in the MB range.
I’m able to add, edit and post new posts/pages (including uploading new images) but not ones before the 3.9.2 update. They all seem locked or something. I can get on their edit pages but nothing I try changing actually saves.
This morning I tried editing again an old post and the crazy thing is, I can make changes to the title, the format, the categories, the tags and the featured image, hit save and the changes go through but, any time I try to make changes in the visual/text editor, it doesn’t save.

Howdy Lady M,
I hope I don’t add to your frustration, and I know that you’ve stated that you de-activated all of your plugins, but do you have a plugin called ‘Category Grid View Gallery’ installed?
No, but wish I did because I think they figured that one out.
I just switched back to Twenty Fourteen and turned off all plugins again (deleted a few as well) and when I went to customize >> featured content >> layout, I couldn’t swap between “grid” option and “slider” option. It’s stuck on slider option. Maybe it’s unrelated but thought I’d mention it in case it helps.

It seems likely that the issue with not being able to switch from grid to slider is, indeed related.
I feel pretty strongly that there is some sort of JavaScript conflict happening and is likely the cause of the issues you are seeing. Can you provide more information regarding the JavaScript errors/warnings you are seeing in the debug console?
