The mystery grows.

I located the php.ini file in the wp-admin directory (which is also where the troublesome “post.php” script is) and opened it:

php_flag
register_globals off
register_globals = 0
memory_limit = 128M

…yet according to phpinfo, my memory limit is still only 90M. I also added:

post_max_size = 16M

…for good measure. Checked phpinfo again. Still reads 8M.

Knowing the settings are “directory specific”, I placed copies of php.ini in my root AND plugins folders. No change.

My host tells me that “php.ini” is the method I should be using to change “PHP Directives”, but something appears to be overriding my changes.

To make matters worse, it appears disabling all of my plugins no longer “fixes” the problem even temporarily (and perhaps never did. I’m not sure of anything anymore).

The help is greatly appreciated.

According to phpinfo, my host has set the memory limit to 90M. That should be WAY more than enough.

Well, I found the problem (I guess), and it is indeed a “bug”… so to speak.

Turns out a “Page” I’ve been working on (a list of links) has become so long, the editor is choking on it.

I disabled all of my plugins and was reactivating them one by one, then reloading my Page to see if the Formatting Buttons would reappear. Repeatedly reloading the long page was a little slower than necessary, so I tried instead loading a much shorter page, and the buttons appeared just fine. I tried several other pages and the buttons loaded just fine with those pages too. Only my longest Page (556 lines) results in the formatting buttons not appearing.

So at some point fairly recently, the page grew so long it started preventing the formatting toolbar from loading. I have no idea why, but at least now we know the cause. Hopefully, someone will figure out why and correct it in a future update.

There’s no “features.php” file in my site. Or maybe I’m just not seeing it. Where would I find it.

Only my theme has been modified, not the core files in other directories. My “edit.php” file has the same date as the other core files (6/15/2012), so I don’t believe it has been modified without my knowledge.

Can you recommend a good “Down for Maintenance” plug-in that works with the most recent version of WP (3.4.1)? The ones I’ve tried so far didn’t work. I can use one to disable the site long enough to try disabling my theme for testing. Thx.

You are probably correct that I’m “misunderstanding the purpose of the plugin”. It’s not a Lightbox, it’s a “Popup Window that resembles a Lightbox”. One where you can’t control if/when it opens or vary the content.

Is there any way to only open the Popup when a link is clicked and change the content based upon that link?

That would be much more useful.

Installed new full file w/o error, but when I go to edit the settings, it says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I’m the Admin. I installed it. 🙂

UPDATE: Looked at script. Was expecting the name: “jayj_quicktag.php”. Renamed it and it allowed me in.

My edit to work with “FLV Embed” plugin:

// Start start
this.tagStart = '[flv:' + src + ' ' + thumbnail + ' ' + width + ' ' + height + ']';

Removed remaining “If”s in function. Not needed in this instance.

Hi Jason,

Unfortunately, the updated UGL didn’t solve my issue (I’m using WP3.2.1) and I haven’t added any scripting of my own the way “defunctlife” has, so I’m not sure what is happening on my end.

Re: My browser cache… I disabled it when I moved to a SSD to reduce writes to my SSD, but even before I added my SSD two weeks ago, I was still having the problem, so I know that’s not it. The issue is definitely on the Server-side of things.

I configured my host (“1and1”) last year to use PHP5 and SQL5, if that makes any difference?

I don’t know enough about how the “Quick Edit” link works normally to figure out what UGL is doing different, and at this point, I haven’t noticed any other commands not working, so it is all very odd.
