[expletive removed by moderator] you, James. You’re an unhelpful [expletive removed by moderator].

Why did you delete my post? I was trying to help that person. You just ignored him for five hours.

Your site has most likely been hacked. If you can’t find anything in the templates, the problem may be in the database.

1. Export your data into a WordPress XML file.

2. Delete database and all WordPress files from server.

3. Create new dB and upload fresh copy of WP. Create new, secure passwords. After install, use a fresh copy of your theme or find a new one. Ensure your plugins are up-to-date, secure and necessary.

4. Import your data back in.

This should solve the issue.

It’s not a plugin, James. It’s an option with the theme Techknowledgic is using. If you look at the active browser tab in the screenshot, you’ll see “Aruna Options.” In addition, Techknowledgic was referring to the browser cache, not a plugin cache.

Techknowledgic, I’ve been having trouble with the caching problem myself. It started after the last update, which was full of bugs. For right now, all you can do is wait for things to catch up.

Wow. Excuse me. Sorry.

BTW, I just checked the editing page with Chrome’s inspector, and this is what I found:

https://jaiden.io/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpview/plugin.min.js?wp-mce-4109-20150505 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
tinymce.min.js?ver=4109-20150505:4 Failed to load: https://jaiden.io/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpview/plugin.min.js

It’s a missing file. Nothing to do with plugins or themes.

The 4.2.4 update has broken many sites today. Hopefully, a patch will be issued soon.

My Visual editor is broken, too. Nothing can be typed in the box, and only the Add Media button is showing. It is not a plugin problem, and the theme is fine.

At this point, the deactivate-all-plugins advice is not very useful. The majority of today’s problems were caused by the 4.2.4 update, which clearly wasn’t ready for prime time.

Hopefully, WordPress is working on a fix.

Agreed, okp. This release definitely should have had more testing.

1. Export your WordPress data and save it to your computer.

2. Create a new database.

3. Delete all WordPress files from server. Delete old database. This will stop the hack.

4. Upload latest version of WordPress (it’s buggy, but more secure than last version.)

5. Get WordPress running with new database. USE A SECURE PASSWORD. Import your data back in.

6. Find a new theme.

Good luck.

You can turn off automatic updates in your config file by using
define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );

The visual editor is broken on my install after 4.2.4 update. No formatting tools, only the “add media” button. I cannot type in the text box. I cannot edit posts in visual mode, which is what okp was referring to above, I believe.

The text editor seems to be fine, though.
