Same here. Looks like the update broke the plugin.

Following, I was just doing some research about elementor + composite products.

@wiktor, in case it helps, read this:

I posted all the problems & different workarounds I figured out, as well as a detailed list of the errors.

Cheers!

Hi @wiktor,

I found the error, but not a proper solution, just a workaround. As you’ve suggested, there were 404 errors; some JS files weren’t loading. It wasn’t consistent: when I disabled/re-enabled CKEditor, it worked like a charm the first time. But the moment I updated/published my entry, the the editor appeared broken and remained so unless I disabled/re-enabled it. Since it wasn’t a good solution, I eventually tracked all the missing files. I realized CKEditor was trying to load assets from the wp-admin directory. My first thought was that some setting, probably a basePath var was not being initialized. So I started debugging and trying many things. I tried setting it up myself after document.ready, but some other files were overriding the value. I finally decided to use another editor, but I did a last dirty trick, which was copying all the files the editor was trying to load from wp-admin to that folder. It worked but still it was a nasty workaround, and I finally switched to another editor and lived happily ever after.

I am using the “motion” template, which I found at www.ads-software.com, so I supposed it is standard. And anyway, I don’t think my template has anything to do with the back-end application, those are different scopes and whatever scripts my template loads and uses, they’re not present when I get to the back-end.

I must say, though, that all those errors are gone with current versions of WordPress (3.1) and CKEditor. Still, I think there was a lack of support given the number of affected people and the popularity of CKEditor. Yes, it’s free, but when it messes up with so many people’s blogs, I think the least they can do is to say “we know it’s been broken for two months, we’re working on it”.

Anyway, that’s just philosophy ?? I hope you find my answer helpful. Happy blogging!

Foliopress ain’t bad, but there’s something that puts me down: you can’t insert an image in your post using an URL. The image button forces you to pick an uploaded file. I use Flickr & Picasa to host my images so I only want to insert images by their URL.

Also, CKEditor gives you more options for the images you insert…

How can it be possible that there’s no fix for this already? It’s been more than a month. However, I don’t see it as a major bug since not many people seem to be affected. I’ve tried asking in the CKEditor forum and I got no replies… weird and annoying.

Hey guys, I have cloned my WordPress installation, running it within my local development server (XAMPP) and the editor doesn’t break up. In fact, it works perfectly.

Question: do you use Google Page Speed optimizer? Because I think there is some kind of relation with the error. My editor breaks only when the page has been optimized (compressed). It works OK when otherwise. If you have the same scenario, then that could be the final explanation.

My earlier post didn’t fix the problem completely.

However, after debugging thoroughly, I’ve found the final solution. I’ve added this code to my template’s header.php file:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
$CKEditor->basePath = ‘/ckeditor/’;
</script>

That’s it. The editor didn’t work because it was trying to load its resources from the wrong place. For some reason, the basePath variable was empty. Now it works.

Hey guys, try this one. It works for me so far:

I’ve commented the line that loads plugins for the editor, and now everything seems to work. I’ve loaded the editor in “add post” and “edit post” modes, loading different entries in my blog and buttons always appear.

Try yourself, it might work for you as well ??

Damn it! You’re right :-(((

Anyone has found a real fix for this? Why do they take so long to fix it?

Ok, I’ve fixed it. Not sure why it works now, but it does. So in case it helps anyone, these are the steps I’ve followed:

– Disable ALL plugins
– Disable & Delete CKEditor
– Install CKEditor & Activate it (now it works)
– Activate the rest of the plugins. I’ve noticed that, after activating some plugins like Askimet, CKEditor stops working (no idea why, it’s SO weird). Anyway, try yourself and let’s see if a fix for this appears. I think it’s a WordPress 3.0.3 bug, otherwise I don’t understand why all this ritual of activation/deactivation makes any difference.

Yeah right, it does not work for me either, I was getting the cached version, but after refreshing, the buttons are gone. Updated to CKEditor 1.0.4 today but still the same problem. Anyone?

Hello! U don’t have any other additional buttons or plug-ins, and yet my CKEditor doesn’t show up. Looks like there are some 404 errors, as if the editor was trying to fetch the files from somewhere else.

It’s been two days with the error. Now I’ve found the 1.0.4 version and I’ve installed it, hoping that it would fix the problem. But… nope. Still failing. It’s like CKEditor doesn’t work at all anymore. I’ve tried activating it, deactivating, installing, uninstalling…

My wordpress version is 3.0.3. Browsers are FIrefox (latest) and Chrome (latest). It worked a few days ago.

Thanks!

Hey I found a fix:

* Log-in to your FTP account and edit “wp-config.php“
* Search for the line starting with “require_once(…“
* Insert BEFORE the that line: “define (‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);“

That’s it ??

I thought I was the only one. This happens to me too. I’ve searched on Twitter but no one else seems to be noticing this problem so far. I’ve used Firebug to try to fix it myself. The problem is that the plug-in is loading the css and js files from a location that does no exist (wp-admin/styles), which results in a 404 error and the editor to fail.

I hope a fix won’t take too long to appear.

I’ll switch to another editor in the meantime.
