3.5 Bug: Cannot Change Post to "Published"

Yeah, most people have this issue right now. I have not been able to resolve everything myself yet (media upload button does not function, and a lot of other stuff). At least I can move widgets now.

I’ll post if I find something of use.

I disabled every plug-in one by one, including Akismet, and tried to change the setting to “Published.” No dice.

I also changed the theme to Twenty Twelve. Same result. What’s interesting is that the “Published” option is not available in the “Edit” mode, only in the “Quick Edit” mode.

Use this (really easy) to check for the javascript conflicts that are happening. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors

I added the lines:

/* To turn script debugging on. */
define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

…as instructed to wp-config. Now I can’t log into my control panel at all. It shows this message:

No Update Required
Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!

…and then it send me to another one of my sites. Now what should I do?

Never mind the last post, please ignore.

Update: Rolling back to 3.4.2 allowed me to finally change the status back to published for a story. Definitely a bug you need to track down.

I suddenly am having this same problem, I have deactivated all plug ins and still have the same issue. Has anyone figured out what is causing it.
