Text editor not functioning for Add New Post

    Hello,

    I’m using WP 4.3.1 with a paid theme from Themeforest. Everything was working fine until I decided to try to limit the post editor’s width to 660px, via Final Call CSS which was provided in the theme.

    First I tried #post-body-content {max-width: 660px !important}, which failed – I refreshed the page, and it was still the full width (I’m using a 24-inch monitor). Then I tried .wp-content-wrap {max-width: 660px !important}, which also failed.

    Then I tried to type something in the post editor, and only now I realised something was wrong. I can’t type in the editor, and I can’t switch to Text mode too. I went to the browser console and was faced with 33 errors, listed below. I have no idea what went wrong, as I only edited the Final Call CSS and did not touch any file.

    I tried replacing the below folders with a freshly downloaded WordPress 4.3.1 download file, but nothing’s worked:

    wp-includes/js/tinymce
    wp-includes/css/editor.css, editor.min.css, editor-rtl.css, editor-rtl.min.css
    wp-admin/js/editor.js, editor.min.js, editor-expand.js, editor-expand.min.js

    The weird thing is, this may just be a local problem. After all the above, I tried adding a new post through my phone, and the whole page worked just fine. I cleared my browser cache and restarted my pc, but the problem remains.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    Thanks for your reply. Today I opened the site again, and voila, everything works as advertised. Changed nothing.

    Then my client contacted me and said he couldn’t edit any posts, but could Add New Posts without problems (mine was the opposite). But it works for him in Internet Explorer (didn’t for me). He cleared his cache and reinstalled Chrome, but it didn’t work either. But it was working for him on mobile.

    Then he cleared his cache again, from the beginning of time, and voila, it magically worked.

    Debugging and troubleshooting. If it works, I don’t know why. If it doesn’t, I don’t know why. Lol.

    Anyway thank you very much esmi for your time. Topic resolved ??
