Thanks!
I had a small difference in my Slider plugin but I could easily repair this with the imported wordpress.sql file.
I got my site back!

Thanks Cory!
That was what I was hoping for and expecting.
My copy is a recent one, after which no (?) changes were made, so it should work. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

What happens when the databas file is not 100% in sync with the WP files in the www/html directory? The wp files only contain the system files, while the db-files contain the actual content of the site, correct? Can you explain a bit more, so I understand what could happen if they are not 100% in sunc with each other.

Thanks again for the quick answer!

Hi, I have the same question: I want to use the meta slider and get the original Site title and Tagline on top of that slide show. Is there a solution yet and if yes, can you summarize it? I think this is a very common need….

SOLVED !!

The key was the apache httpd.conf file.
I had included a couple of directory access limitations (recommended by several WordPress users), among which the wp-includes directory:

<DirectoryMatch ^.*/wp-includes/>
<Files *.php>
Deny from all
</Files>
</DirectoryMatch>

This ALSO prevented me from accessing the wp-tinymce.php file which controls the visual editor and which is in that directory….
So I added an exception for this file. The whole section in the httpd.conf reads now:

<DirectoryMatch ^.*/wp-includes/>
<Files *.php>
Deny from all
</Files>
<Files wp-tinymce.php>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Files>
</DirectoryMatch>

This solved the problem with the WordPress visual editor!

I updated two days ago to the latest Centos 7.6 release on my server on which and I run a WordPress 4.9.8 based website (recently installed).
Before the CentOS update, the visual editor in WordPress worked just fine. No problems at all with WordPress.

Today, the editor now only shows “white text” and the buttons in the editor are gone.
This is a “well-known” issue in WordPress, and I checked all reported remedies for this : https://www.newtonbaba.com/white-text-and-missing-buttons-in-wordpress-visual-editor/
I tried all, and none of them fixed the problem.
As the problem showed up after the CentOS update, and I cannot not find any other reason for the issue on the web, this makes me think the issue is related to the CentOS upgrade.

Does anyone have any similar problems and what did you do to mitigate this annoying flaw?
For now, I copy the “white text” into another seperate editor, do my changes, and copy the text back into to wordpress editor, but it’s not optimal…

Thanks for any hint!

OK. I read the page https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Login_Trouble
as I have login problems. I followed the recommendation and renamed the /wpcontent/plugins folder to something else and then I could login again!

Found out, after activating the plugins one by one, that the “Theme My Login” is causing the problems. Don’t know what I can do about that though…
But I can access the site again, so the topic of not being able to login is solved.

Hi Ivan,
Thx for looking into this!
Yes, I cleared all cookies and cache for the site localhost on my main browser, ( the latest) Safari: no difference.
I started Firefox when the login problems started, with no earlier cached WP logins, meaning no cookies/cache. I got the same result. So I concluded, this is not a cookies or cache issue.

I am really stuck here. Can’t login, can’t do anything…

I am open for any suggestion!

Anyone?

This is what I see in Safar, after typing https://localhost:8888 :
https://localhost:8888/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/login/?redirect_to=/

In Firefox, I get the same response and the browser informs me:
“The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.”

Cleaning up the browser doesn’t help.

Your help is really appreciated!
