The javascript error is caused by the Visual Recipe Index plugin. Specifically, the code that’s in error is
<script type=”text/javascript”>paginateVal = ;</script>
and that is being output at lines 159 – 161 of RecipeIndexView.php of that plugin.
I am finally able to get my images loading, but I am still unable to open up the wordpress visual editor to add content to posts. Please see Joyce53 comment above.
