Bump

I just changed servers at Dreamhost. I was on the shared webhost and went to the Personal Server. Now all of my tinyMCE buttons are gone, and I cannot switch between visual and html.

Any ideas?

I just noticed the same behavior. It only shows up if I use single or double quotes, making it impossible to put an image in the validation email, or using words like we’ve or won’t.

I discovered that this is being caused by the new revisions in 2.6. To disable them, just add:

define (‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 0);

to your wp-config.php and the problem disappears.

Except that it doesn’t disappear. It works to some extent in FireFox because FireFox is a bit more forgiving on errors, but any other browser will crash if you try to create a new post.

The author of this plugin promised an update two weeks ago, and since then has been silent. Even his dev site is dead.

13lue, you are using Mandigo 1.36. The newest version is Mandigo 1.36.1 which they released when WP 2.6 came out. Go download and install the newer version of Mandigo.

Honestly, I don’t think it is WP 2.6 and Mandigo that is causing your problems though. I suspect it is a plugin. Try disabling all of your plugins and put all of your widgets away to see if the problem disappears.

Then activate each plugin one at a time and check to see if that causes your page to go south.

I am running Mandigo on several of my sites with WP 2.6 and even one site with WP 2.7 Bleeding (which is REALLY raw) and there have been no problems with the theme and WP. I do have some problems with a couple of older plugins (PodPress is one of them) but the plugin authors are working on upgraded versions right now.

Going backwards is more hassle than it is worth, and if you don’t have the old database it is impossible. Trying to export and import is also troublesome and can create some serious problems — I’ve tried.

You are better off just going forward. NEXT time though, create a “sandbox” on your server and create a test installation of the newer versions and see if you have any conflicts that you need to sort out.

It would really be nice to have a plugin that would delete Posts and comments by date range.

When I still had a Movable Type blog several years ago, you were able to click little check boxes of the posts you wanted to delete and then just hit the delete button.

My problem is that I have divided two years worth of blog entries into two subdirectories for archival purposes. I went through the tedious process of downloading the database and pruning out the earlier year and then restoring the latest year to the new subdirectory. Now I have to go back to the original one and magically remove the past year’s worth of posts, leaving the first year intact.

We are talking about 8139 posts and 73992 comments in total. (yes, that is the reason for splitting it up — the database is severely overtaxed)

GaMerZ has a great backup and restore plugin called WP-DBManager 2.20 that can be found here

He has quite a few useful plugins along with it.

Groovy!

Thanks for the information. I am not using the ‘more smilies’ plugin, I am using the LMB^Box Smileys plugin, but it does the same thing.

Once I disabled that plugin, everything seems to work fine.

I guess I should have checked the plugins first.

The only problem I am having (and not getting any answers for) is a problem with no line breaks in my comments.

I have upgraded six sites to WP 2.2 and each site has the same problem — no line breaks or paragraphs unless I go into the edit comment mode and re-save.

Apparently, I am not the only one having this problem. It isn’t a theme issue, it also does it on the default theme too.

If you are concerned about how your comments display, I would hold off until that issue is fixed.

An example of what I am talking about can be seen below by taking what I just wrote here:

See how irritating this is?
