just upgraded to 2.8.3, cannot see text or paste from word :-(

  • Hello Everyone,

    I am relatively new to wordpress, and i had a site that was running on the previous versions,it was all good until i updated to the latest version, what a mistake –

    i cant see any text in the text fields when entering information,

    Cant paste text from word, and none of wordpress flash functionality works, (upload media, photos etc.)

    please can anyone advise on what to do here, i really need this to work. i tried running on all browsers, tried downgrading but i did not backup the last version.

    Thank u for your time!

    Cheers

    Eddy

  • Why do you use word, when WP have an exelent texteditor?

    When you copy/paste from Word it will grab som invisible code with the text. Sometimes this code can mess up things when you copy/paste. If you edit stuff offline I advise you to use Notepad. Notepad is clean and does not bring any unvanted code when you copy paste.

    The best way to style your text is to edit it in WP.

    Text is usually already formatted in Word. WP editor can’t handle copy/paste from Word? That’s bad news, a ton of my customers use Word this way.

    Ok thank you for the replies,

    but i still have no flash functionality, (add an image or media) and when i copy and paste from notepad, the text shows up in white, so it cannot be read.

    but more important is adding images, which i cannot do.

    Cheers

    garbunk: Word is not a software to use online. I dont know any online-texteditor that supports copy/paste from word or any office software. But I may be wrong of course.

    But the WP editor is built to format text and not recieve text from word or any other program. What you can do (not the best way..) is to save stuff as HTML in word and then paste the HTML code in to the HTML-view in the WP-teksteditor.

    But you will search forever to find an editor that supports it.. if you find one, it will probably not look very nice when they publish the story.
