36 ckeditor no longer works with WP 3.0.3

I thought I was the only one. This happens to me too. I’ve searched on Twitter but no one else seems to be noticing this problem so far. I’ve used Firebug to try to fix it myself. The problem is that the plug-in is loading the css and js files from a location that does no exist (wp-admin/styles), which results in a 404 error and the editor to fail.

I hope a fix won’t take too long to appear.

I’ll switch to another editor in the meantime.

Hey I found a fix:

* Log-in to your FTP account and edit “wp-config.php“
* Search for the line starting with “require_once(…“
* Insert BEFORE the that line: “define (‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);“

That’s it ??

thank you for your post but it is not enough ….

the problem is identical with plugin Dean fckeditor

That fix did not work for me either. The ckeditor does not show up when editing a page at all.

Other information: I use the Arthemia theme.
with another blog with the theme Dkret3 ckeditor works

All plugins are disabled

Yeah right, it does not work for me either, I was getting the cached version, but after refreshing, the buttons are gone. Updated to CKEditor 1.0.4 today but still the same problem. Anyone?

Ok, I’ve fixed it. Not sure why it works now, but it does. So in case it helps anyone, these are the steps I’ve followed:

– Disable ALL plugins
– Disable & Delete CKEditor
– Install CKEditor & Activate it (now it works)
– Activate the rest of the plugins. I’ve noticed that, after activating some plugins like Askimet, CKEditor stops working (no idea why, it’s SO weird). Anyway, try yourself and let’s see if a fix for this appears. I think it’s a WordPress 3.0.3 bug, otherwise I don’t understand why all this ritual of activation/deactivation makes any difference.

– I disabled all plugins
– I deleted and reloaded/actived Ckeditor (now it works).
– I activate a plugin (ie: Google Doc Embed )
– Ckeditor works with first post
– Ckeditor stops working with second post !!!!

Thank you for your research

Damn it! You’re right :-(((

Anyone has found a real fix for this? Why do they take so long to fix it?

Hey guys, try this one. It works for me so far:

https://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18946&p=48073

I’ve commented the line that loads plugins for the editor, and now everything seems to work. I’ve loaded the editor in “add post” and “edit post” modes, loading different entries in my blog and buttons always appear.

Try yourself, it might work for you as well ??

My earlier post didn’t fix the problem completely.

However, after debugging thoroughly, I’ve found the final solution. I’ve added this code to my template’s header.php file:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
$CKEditor->basePath = ‘/ckeditor/’;
</script>

That’s it. The editor didn’t work because it was trying to load its resources from the wrong place. For some reason, the basePath variable was empty. Now it works.

I’m glad the fix worked for you. Unfortunately, it didn’t help me. I can’t get the editor to show up within the admin section of WP when you edit a page or post.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

unfortunately it does not work for me.
I went to WP 3.0.4 but same problem!
I tried another editor Foliopress WYSIWYG based on FCKEditor and it works?

Hey guys, I have cloned my WordPress installation, running it within my local development server (XAMPP) and the editor doesn’t break up. In fact, it works perfectly.

Question: do you use Google Page Speed optimizer? Because I think there is some kind of relation with the error. My editor breaks only when the page has been optimized (compressed). It works OK when otherwise. If you have the same scenario, then that could be the final explanation.
