I discovered some more insights on my problem that may help resolve it.

In further testing, I removed all my plugins and the problem went away. I then added them back to see which one was causing the problem. Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple.

The six plugins I’m using are:

Advanced Admin Menus – v 2.1.1
Akismet – v 2.0
Counterize II – v 2.04
Related Posts – v 2.04
Sidebar Widgets – v 1.2.1.20070210b
wp-cache – v 2.1.1

Removing all plugins – No problem
Each plugin by itself – No problem
AAMenus and Akismet only – No problem
AAMenus, Akismet, Sidebar Widgets only – No problem
AAMenus, Akismet, Sidebar Widgets & WPCache – No problem
AAMenus, Akismet, CII only – No problem

All six – Problem
All except AAMenus – Problem
All except RelPosts – Problem
All except RelPosts & WPCache – Problem
AAMenus, Akismet, CII, RelPosts only – Problem

Any ideas why any of these plugins would cause problems on the “Write Post” tab of the admin page?

Could it be some kind of memory problem or configuration? I don’t have a problem with the same plugins on my local server copy (I cannot reproduce the problem locally). Additionally, I compared the local copy source “View Source” html of the Write Post page with the online copy and except for the address differences, the two are identical.

As a newcomer to WP, I don’t have any idea plugin could be causing problems or why, so in the meantime, I will just have to continue to go through each permutation and see if I can make sense out of it.

Thanks,

I’ve posted an image of the problem on my blog here.

I’m thinking the problem may not be “missing icons”, but rather missing visual tab, since it seems like it’s stuck on the code tab (and when I click on the visual tab, nothing happens (nor does anything happen when I click on the code tab).

btw, I also have a local version of WP installed on a Linux server here at home (which I access from the same PC / browser as my online version) and I don’t have any problems with that site (all the icons appear).

In comparing the two, I notice that with the one that’s not working (online version) the text box where your right your posts goes all the way to the right (and runs into the categories column) whereas the one that is working stops short of that and has the little “expand” icon in the bottom right corner.

Thanks

I’m using Grisoft’s AVG (the free version). If I disable it and reload the Write Post page, I have the same problem.

I’m new as well so I cannot help with your first question. As for your second, though, you can use the “more” icon in the “Write Post” screen (or insert “<!–more–>” if you’re using the “Code” tab).
