Help and Screen Option Menus not working on some installations

    I’ve installed 3.5.1 onto quite a few servers recently with no problem. However, recently I did a standard installation. No plug-ins running and an absolutely pristine install.

    When I get to the console I find that the Help and Screen Option menus are not working. Additionally the theme that I tried before re-installing the whole thing for the third time,, had all its help menus disabled.

    Running the console in Firefox using the Firebug plugin shows two Illegal Character errors in the load_scripts.php file.

    Anybody had a similar experience or any suggestions please?

  • Have you tried re-uploading all files & folders from a fresh download of WordPress – making sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones?

    Have you installed WordPress on this particular server before?

    Yes, all files installed fresh from new downloads each time. I’ve just spent 3 hours with my server provider and they can’t find anything at hire end. I haven’t run WP on this particular server before.

    Interestingly the bugs that Firebug reports don’t occur on other installations on other servers that I have performed an identical install on!

    I’ve sorted this out. Its a JQuery problem I solved it by adding: define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); to the wp-config.php file, just below the define(‘DB_HOST’) line.

    Thank you xymbolis – modifying the wp-config.php file worked just as you described it. Thanks!!

    Your code fix worked perfectly. wonder if its an issue with the new version of WordPress
