A little update. Instead of “encoding” please use “encode”:
[aam]
encode = “true”
In case anyone hits this problem in the future, I can confirm that the fix provided by Vasyl is working fine, I just tried on a WordPress v3.7 and AAM 1.8.5

Thanks again for your help!
Hi Vasyl,
The website I’m working is completely English, but I’m getting the same issue.
I tried your solution, but I appear to be missing something.
I inputted:
[aam]
encode = “true”
into ConfigPress, but my users with Editor status still get a blank screen in Post and Page (but they can still see Media).
I’ve been using your plugin for a little while (love it normally), but never used the ConfigPress options before, so I’m wondering if there’s more that I should be doing.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Andrew,
Most likely you have JavaScript or PHP Error during Ajax call.
Can you please check it with Firebug?

Vasyl
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, I’m not seeing any errors on the site using Firebug.
In case I’m really missing something, here is the link to the site: http://www.scarborounited.org

Hi Andrew,
Well link to website gives me nothing. You must have some kind of php error. Check server error log.
Also make sure that server does not refuse the ajax call (sometimes it happens when the website has complex security).

Hi Vasyl,
Ok, I’ll have to make a request for that.
For now, I had to deactivate AAM to get the user functional again.
Stay tuned.
Thanks.
Andrew
