Editor labels showing as "{#wp…" instead of "Edit Image", e.g.

    I noticed one of my WordPress sites is having what appears to be a TinyMCE / Language selection problem. Most of the admin sections’ buttons are being properly labeled, except when I’m in a post/page edit. Then, the Format pull-down is full of stuff like this:

    1. advanced.block
    2. advanced.paragraph
    3. advanced.address
    4. etc.

    and the mouse-over titles of other buttons (just the ones in the CORE editor, mind you!) instead of saying “Bold (Ctrl/Alt + Shift + B” says, “advanced.bold_desc” and worst of all, when you try to edit an image that’s on the page/post already, you get a TON of gibberish… See linked image.

    I’m a pretty good data-miner, but I’m no programmer. This is beyond my ability to find and fix, without help, so PLEASE, help!

    Thanks in advance.

    I seriously cannot be the only person who’s ever had this problem…

    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 Twenty Eleven 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 the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.

    Yes, to all of the above. I feel like this is some kind of language setting failure. Where/how do you set the default language of WordPress?

    No – it’s a javascript problem. Sounds like a corrupt file to me. Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).

    That did it, thanks, esmi!
