Table related features are gone

    I dont know when this bug occured since i haven’t updated my site for quite a bit.
    All of the sudden i dont see any ‘Table’ related buttons or menus on the site when i edit a page. I am using the Beaver Builder plugin as well, but i’ve been using these 2 plugins for years now and never had this problem before.
    I’ve tried emptying the cache, do the Shift+Ctrl click while refresh, tried restoring default settings for both plugins, even emptied the cache from the beaver plugin.
    Checking the html code via the debug console shows the classes for the buttons (mceu_34,mceu_35 etc) all with the proper incremental number…but the Tools button is not there. (Figured maybe i’d see a ‘gap’ where the Tools button would be).
    Also even though i’ve enabled the Context Menu, right clicking shows the default windows right click menu. Even the ‘Insert new line’ is gone from the Insert menu.

    I’ve uploaded an image with what i’m seeing in the editor here: https://i.imgur.com/HrFwk5r.png

    Any feedback would be appreciated, i dont know what else to try.
    Thanks

  • We are experiencing the same issue. It was working and now it is missing.

    Do you see any errors in the browser tools? Lately have seen reports of certain files being blocked from some (badly configured) “security” add-ons, perhaps the “table” plugin is one of them?

    If there is a 404 error in the browser tools for any of the TinyMCE plugins, try going to the URL directly with the browser. If there is some sort of “forbidden” screen there, contact your web hosting company.

    Hi Andrew,
    No errors in the browser tools. The only ‘security’ tools i am using are :
    – Disable XML-RPC Pingback
    – Exploit Scanner
    And for text editor : Beaver Builder Plugin (Lite Version)

    Everything i do at the Editor Settings is saved, (moving icons around, or adding other buttons). It’s just the Tools menu, the Table button and the right click that isnt working (no matter where i place the Table icon in the 4 menu bars)

    Hmmm, that’s really strange. Sounds like -something- is disabling the table plugin on purpose..? I know that Beaver Builder disables the contextmenu plugin, but it explicitly allows the table plugin, and generally Beaver Builder is a well build and “well behaved” plugin ??

    One thing you could test is paste this in the browser console and press Enter:

    
tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit.content.external_plugins

    (while using the Classic Editor).That will show a list of the external plugins that are configured from php. There should be something like:

    
table: "[your-site-url]/plugins/tinymce-advanced/mce/table/plugin.js"

    in there. If not, that means something is disabling the table plugin from PHP.

    tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit.content.external_plugins
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'external_plugins' of undefined at <anonymous>:1:32

    Thats what i get when i paste this

    Maybe your eye can catch a plugin that might be causing this (from your experience)
    Here are all the active plugins: https://imgur.com/EXlBcGV

    (I downgraded the tinyMCE plugin in the hopes that a previous version would work)

    EDIT: It was WebMan Amplifier!!!! I deactivated it and now i can see the tools and table icons!

    Thank you so much for this! you were so right!
