Upgrade to 3.5.1 Breaks Page in Admin – Text Edit shows 0 Word Count

any suggestions as to how I can figure this out?

Update – some posts are now showing up blank, and I’m not sure this is related to 3.5.1

The problem remains, my edit post and edit page in the admin show no content in the text area field for some posts and pages.

I installed a backup of the site from 3.5.0 and the problem is there as well.

When I select “preview changes” or “view page” from a page with no content visible in the text editor, the page shows up as it should, as if there were all that info there.

If I copy/paste the contents of the field from a previous version and publish the page, all is fixed as far as I can tell.

How should I proceed with this? Do I simply go back and fix all pages and blame it on gremlins, or do I start with a clean install?

Hi,

I’ve the same problem since i’ve update from 3.4.2 to 3.5.1.

When i look at the javascript console, i saw this error message “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined ” in jQuery.

Do you have this message too ?

I think the problem come from jquery loading… ??

Yes!

Noticed the JS slideshow isn’t playing either. Errors abound. Will look further and report back.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: getUserSetting is not defined

Chrome is not showing errors, but issue not resolved.

Safari showing issues, though not as the WP support page (linked above) says. start.js:1 – don’t have that file in WP, is this a safari issue?

TypeError: ‘undefined’ is not an object (evaluating ‘g.extension.onRequest’)

Firefox gives me what seems to be the most relevant warning :

Warning: Use of attributes’ specified attribute is deprecated. It always returns true.
Source File: https://localhost:8888/xxxxxx/html/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.8.3

For my self, when i turn on SCRIPT_DEBUG, i have the same error message “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined ” on jquery.js loading

Also, when i try to add a link i have this error “Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘uniqueId'” in jquery.ui.dialog.min.js

The strange fact is that i do the same update on my personal blog and i don’t have any problem.

The difference between my client project and my blog is that the second one use multisite.

Do you use multisite option ?

I found my problem, it come from my client theme which use an older version of jquery ui for its administration.

So look at your theme if it uses a specific version of jquery ui.

I hope that it will help you ??

I had the same problem after upgrading to 3.5.1. The txt/html switch did not word and the link button also.

My solution was to deactivate a plugin. in this case the plugin was KKProgressbar2 Free

Then everything was fine again.
