WordPress & TinyMCE

Have you tried with a default Twenty* theme?

Please ask your host if they might be doing any filtering of traffic with mod_secure or something like that.

Also, please install the health check plugin and report back the findings from the debug tab: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/

I have tried a default theme but to no luck.

I will email my hosting and let you know, the health check output is as follows:

I note a couple of things from this:

>> Create loopback requests: The loopback request to your site failed, this may prevent WP_Cron from working, along with theme and plugin editors.<br>Error encountered: (0) cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:

It appears you’re using an invalid SSL certificate.

>> cURL Version: 7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8b <<

Your host’s version of curl and openSSL is way out of date.

Both are things to address with your host.

@sterndata Do you think this is the reason why i cant use the e.g. text editor?

I’m not sure.

@sterndata

i recently updated my site to use SSL, although my hosting wasnt very helpful about this. One thing i notice with the error is >

if i use this url:

https://paulfoleyblogs.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/modern/theme.min.js?wp-mce-4800-20180716

I get an error, however if i add a “=” at the end it works fine e.g.>

https://paulfoleyblogs.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/modern/theme.min.js?wp-mce-4800-20180716=

This all seemed to happen after the 4.9.8 update

Hi.

I was suffering from the same trouble, but in my case the cause was WAF.
I hope it will help resolve.
