Multiple Issues Post 4.4 Update

  • Have a whole cluster of issues post the 4.4 updates. To get it out of the way though I have:

    1. Cleared Browser (Firefox 42.0, Windows 7 64 SP1) cookies and cache.
    2. Disabled all plugins.
    3. Switched theme to 2015 (unable to get 2016)
    4. Using no caching (server side plugins)

    Facing three issues that I’ve discovered so far, there may likely be more.

    1. Media Library displays as blank. No thumbnails. Add new files button goes to loader (WP). Select files button does nothing. Javascript is enabled.

    2. Themes. Add theme button goes to empty “download” form. No form names are retrieved.

    3. Admin interfaces select all buttons no longer function. (they don’t toggle all).

    In addition, my commercial theme, Story by Pexto, no longer seems to be able to communicate with the Envato market. It simply spins its wheels, attempting to reach them.

    I had no issues before the 4.4 update. Beta appears to have failed you folks this time around. I will most assuredly think twice in the future before hitting that update button.

    Odd, I haven’t had any of these issues on my sites.

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    James:
    That’s what I did, as I mentioned in the opener of my posting. I do have some more info though. It appears the problem is machine specific. I went back to my host and had them revert my database and install to yesterday’s backup (4.3.1). Much to my surprise, the problem was still evident. I checked it on my phone and the host check on they’re end. Both loaded the site fine, with full access to the media library, editor, etc.

    I also confirmed that I get the same behavior in IE, Chrome and Firefox. For whatever reason, it appears as if I’m only getting a partial load of the page and the scripts are erroring out in console. I’ve tested on another Win7 box I have local, same network, similar settings. That machine is fine, so it’s specific to mine.

    Did Malwarebytes and Virus Scanning (local and web based), no hits. Reset winsock and IP via netsh. No effect. At this point I’m completely stumped, but it doesn’t appear to be an WP issue.

    I’ve confirmed the same behavior via multiple hosts using various free hosts and demos all over the web. I get the same series of errors from all the sites in console:

    SyntaxError: expected expression, got ‘<‘

    Running into the same problem on multiple sites. Media doesn’t show any images and when uploading images it pulls up different uploader that hangs after clicking ‘upload’. One website gives the message like link to jQuery not found.

    Have located the culprit. Bitdefender Free Anti-Virus. Noticed in my searching about that it had updated this morning. Uninstalled, restart and the site loaded up correctly.

    That fixed it for me.

    I only had to turn off Bitdefender Free Anti-Virus for everything to start working again.

    That is indeed the problem. See https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-44-master-list?replies=5#post-7759534 for details.

    GREAT feedback here!

    You were absolutely correct. I disabled Bitdefender for 1 hour so I could work on my site, and then all was working well. This is going to be a pain in the butt before it’s fixed.

    I wonder if WP and Bitdefender know about this conflict?

    I sent Bitdefender a note telling them about the conflict.

    We know, but there isn’t much we can do about it. Bitdefender is being overzealous about good, benign, legit code, or as those of us in the industry call it, “yet another false positive.”

    If you could report the false positive to Bitdefender as a customer, that would be a huge help.

    Edit: And you have, thanks! ??

    Yeah, I submitted a false positive ticket with a link to the .js file to Bitdefender.
