To clarify the problem –

When entering a post, any button that opens a popup fails to work. Most open an empty window.

The only exceptions are the media buttons at the top to the right of “Upload/Insert”

Reinstalled wp-admin and wp-includes – and it’s still not working.

My guess is that there is a bit of code, like an unclosed tag, that is botching it up. But I can’t find it. I’ve seen a number of post about this scattered over several years. Seems to be a result of core upgrade in most if not all instances.

Very frustrating.

esmi –

Yes, I have deactivated all plugins. No change.

Tried the 2011 theme – no change.

Removed my plugin folder and created a blank. Did not fix it.

Uploading from a fresh download is my next step.

Thanks,

That assumes the redirects are in the database, and won’t be wiped by reinstalling.

The Missed Schedule plug-in took care of this for me – simple, fast, fixed.

If anyone is reading this thread to try and fix the problem, here is my experience:

Upgraded 4 blogs to 2.9. One, and only one, suffered this problem. The blog are all on the same server. One of the blogs that worked fine has the same template and plug-ins as the one that did not. The one that broke is several months older than the one that worked, so there is some older code in there. When I did the upgrade, the blog that broke would not automatically upgrade – it showed downloading of the zip file forever. Tried several times. I managed the upgrade by turning off all plug-ins, upgrading, then turning all the plug-ins back on. Only problem was this missed schedule bug

Upgraded three blogs to Version 2.8.6. Got buried in 404 reports for

/page/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif
and
/xxxx/xx/xx/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif

So the system is now looking for the images in non-existent directories. I am guessing this is a change in how WP is is calling pages – might be a change not yet picked up by a plugin, but I don’t think so.

As suggested above, I have “fixed it” with Redirection 301 redirects:

Source URL: /(\d*)/(\d*)/(\d*)/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif
Target URL: /wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif

Source URL: /page/wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif
Target URL: /wp-includes/js/thickbox/loadingAnimation.gif

The e-mail code is found in wp-includes/pluggable.php as part of wp_new_user_notification.

Love this search, but it’s causing problems with making posts. Posts save just fine, but I end up with a totally blank page with URL/wp-admin/post.php – no error message, just an empty page. Same thing when I edit a post – it changes, but I get a blank page.

I tried the two changes suggested above by tomchen1989, it did not help.
