* could it be because my terms database (and consequently my terms_relationships) contain all custom categories? * i’ll try wiping each of those databases and reverting those three databases all to the default wordpress databases and check what happens. * EDIT – no matter what term_taxonomy is loaded (regardless of the terms or terms_relationships that is loaded or dropped) if term_taxonomy is in my databases it kills the post editor. * i’ll try one more time starting from scratch with a new database. go through the install process for wordpress (so it sets up all the default/necessary databases) and then add back in my posts, comments, etc. via phpmyadmin. * this has been a royal pain in the rear and i cannot understand why using custom categories would ever cause this problem. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [help – upgraded – now cannot Edit Posts or Add New Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/) * Thread Starter [willow_twf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willow_twf/) * (@willow_twf) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/#post-1438389) * all of my taxonomies were custom. which would apparently kill the editor from the dashboard? absolutely crazy. * but crap, now i delete my term_taxonomy and i can’t load it back (because my new old one breaks the install again) * i’m assuming that once i upload a new term_taxonomy i’ll have the ability to comment again… i hope. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [help – upgraded – now cannot Edit Posts or Add New Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/) * Thread Starter [willow_twf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willow_twf/) * (@willow_twf) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/#post-1438377) * so far the only offending database has been the term_taxonomy database… weird. everything else i’ve added back as worked fine. adding back the term_taxonomy database causes me to lose the editor again. * it appears as if my rampant use of categories killed it?

* i ask this because i’ve had this same error before (about a year ago) and the only way i found to “fix” this issue was to roll back my installation to wordpress 2.7.2. or 2.7.1 – it must be something that’s in one of the mysql databases that’s still attempting to edit the way the dashboard/editor works/appears. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [help – upgraded – now cannot Edit Posts or Add New Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/) * Thread Starter [willow_twf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willow_twf/) * (@willow_twf) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/#post-1438338) * no, i never have access to any editor no matter what theme i choose (and all the ads, etc., in the sidebar are loaded as widgets – mostly just simple html text) * of note, along the left bar when i’m in the wordpress dashboard the entire menu is displayed. * however, in this menu certain functions do not work. for instance, on each main menu heading “posts” “media” etc. the arrow that should allow you expand and collapse these menus does nothing. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [help – upgraded – now cannot Edit Posts or Add New Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/) * Thread Starter [willow_twf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willow_twf/) * (@willow_twf) * [16 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-upgraded-now-cannot-edit-posts-or-add-new-posts/#post-1438325) * i think the problem must be within the wp_options database. is there a way that i can delete wp_options as a database and install the default?

maybe it’s something on their end? * all i know is that rolling back to 2.6.5 works and that’s good enough for me as i need to post four or five days every week to maintain a healthy site. hopefully i’ll be able to upgrade later on, maybe wait until 2.7.2 or later, as the new interface is much cleaner and much more intuitive. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [not able to edit posts or create new posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-able-to-edit-posts-or-create-new-posts/) * Thread Starter [willow_twf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willow_twf/) * (@willow_twf) * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-able-to-edit-posts-or-create-new-posts/#post-1017545) * well i downgraded back to wordpress 2.65 and now i can successfully edit my posts and create new posts. * this makes me feel that there’s some file/folder that needs to be deleted when upgrading to 2.7.1 that for some reason hides the post editor. * this issue is clearly not resolved, but i did find a work around by going back to an older build of wordpress. if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this {i’d love to upgrade if i could} i appreciate it in advance.
