3.2: problems inserting images, editing widgets, "screen options" dropdown, etc

Hanisah,
I discovered my problem is only with Firefox. I can use it ok in IE.

I have the same problem: I′m using Thesis and WordPress, last revisions.

The problem arises when you update the options in the Thesis Site Options or Design Options.

I unnistall all the pulgins, deleted all caches, clean databases. The problem persists. In my case, I have problems with the width of content area, sidebar, text size and images uploads.

Chip, it′s very easy to say the problem is the Theme, in this case not only Thesis framework, as per other users like gregor59.

Chip, www.ads-software.com has to avoid this Theme issues happend, and has to control what kind of plugins people upload into the www.ads-software.com repository: only tested and free of spam, plogs, malware. I only upload plugins from the repository and my blog was totally infected with spam and splogs. WordPress community is in danger right now.

@gregor59: no, really: you need to start your own thread; your issue isn’t the same as the OP’s.

Thesis is a commercial Theme, and as such we are unable to provide support specific to Thesis.

In general, how do you expect WordPress to avoid issues caused by Themes that either have some sort of incorrect coding in the first place, or that fail to keep up with current best practices – especially for Themes over which “WordPress” has absolutely no control?

(This isn’t an indictment of Thesis in particular; I’ve never used it and never seen its code.)

and has to control what kind of plugins people upload into the www.ads-software.com repository: only tested and free of spam, plogs, malware. I only upload plugins from the repository and my blog was totally infected with spam and splogs. WordPress community is in danger right now.

WordPress does monitor and control for malicious code in Repository-hosted Plugins. If your site was infected, the odds are, it didn’t happen because of WordPress or any WPORG-hosted Plugins.

I call shenanigans, unless you have actual evidence of a WPORG Repository-hosted Plugin that has spam or malware. And if you do, you should have already emailed [email protected] with details.

Hello Chip,
I decided against starting a new thread meantime as I am addressing the issue on my theme forum. It seems there is a Firefox issue and that’s why I answered Hanisah. I may be back to start a new thread.

I am seeing exactly the same problem using Twenty Eleven even after deactivating all plugins. I am seeing this in IE9 and FireFox on Windows and Chrome, FireFox or Safari on the Mac. I am now running 3.2.1 but this all started with 3.2. My blog is about photography so this makes it basically unusable at the moment 8-(

Chip,

What I′m trying to say is the www.ads-software.com must to control more as they are controlling right now the uploading of plugins or themes.

This “scheme” of “open” is dangerous for the WordPress program and for the community growth itself. I just want to write on my blog, not to delete garbage every day.

I repeat you: I never installed an outside of repository plugin or theme, and I have had SPAMs and SPLOGs and database garbage. I have 4 or 5 plugins for exploits, antivirus… Can you explain how could this happend? I′ve been almost a week offline, and now my blogs are with just the minimun settings.

This situation reminds me the scheme of Android “open” system vs the “thank god” Apple closed system. This makes me believe that open software is just an temporary utopy.

Back to the topic: May I know when www.ads-software.com will have another revesion, let′s say 3.2.2?

You might be more comfortable using the wordpress.com hosted blogging service.

So, what specific Plugins caused the problems you’re having?

It is far more likely that your FTP credentials were compromised, or that you have an insecure host configuration.

I have no clue…?

Sorry for the delay Chip, I was resolving serious issues for the upgrading to WordPress 3.2.1.

WordPress.com hosted service doesn’t allows plugins, so that is not the solution, Chip.

The problem I see with this www.ads-software.com platform, is that plugins, themes, and framework are not controlled by the community. Incompatibility and hacking causes all the problem here. Right?

So, third party cause the damage.

It′s difficult to find out what plugin cause certain problems, and Chip, do you think if I surely know what is the name of the plugin I will going to post a question here?

Right now, after export/import database. I had that RE-BUILT the entire site, deleted multisite and buddypress, and deleted www.ads-software.com totally broken plugins. It sounds you logical?

Anyway, I still have a last problem, I hope. I′ve made a search here, and I found 2 posts about the broken mailchimp archive plugin, which create a cronjob every second. That is the problem.

And Chip, what do you think I′ve found in those www.ads-software.com post? Nothing. They didn′t post the solution. And the plugin author is missing. The situation is that a problem like this doesn′t have to exist at all. So, this approach is wrong.

Multisites and Buddypress as well, introduces another factor in the incompatibility problem, making the database more fragil.

Do you think we are going in the rigth direction: thousands of possible problems “attacking” the platform, everyday.

I am talking about that www.ads-software.com have to RETHINK all the approach to avoid hacking and incompatibility problems. We need ideas, what are yours Chip?

What do you think if www.ads-software.com creates something like “release certification” for the WordPress release, to certify the plugins and themes? And please, don′t talk about that untrusted thing “broken yes or not” in the plugin page. I am talking about a developer team that test incompatibility and virus issues, in every plugin and theme uploaded here.

If this trusted certification can′t be afforded, the incomptibility problems will kill the entire platform, and other more robust platform will take the users base. It′s simple like that.

(Sorry for off topic)

I also have this issue. I’m running a theme called instinct. It happened abruptly and i’m desperate for a solution. I have a due date quickly approaching!!

I’ve tried switching to the Twenty-Eleven theme and the problem persists. It fails on all three of the major browsers (Chrome, IE, and FireFox).
