Thanks @joeinfo! Have you done any research on any other similar plugins? My client needs these photos optimized ASAP and am not confident this error will be fixed anytime soon.

I’ve looked into these so far:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-smushit/
Cons: only bulk smushes 50 photos at a time, only optimizes images up to 1MB

This one seems to be a bit more advanced but worried about completely replacing the images and only saving the originals for 30 days. Also the most recent 1 star reviews don’t sound good: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/

I am running into this exact same issue but throwing this error in the console: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

Also wondering the same thing about trying a different plugin. Hopefully support replies to this soon.

Thank you all for your replies! But unfortunately, everything all of you have mentioned I have done and assured were correct. I have 100% access to my database and there are no signs of any error. Both the server lights are running green in MAMP so I am not sure how to fix an error I can not see.

Also @snifflevalve I have both manual entered the vaulues for thw wp-config file and also tried to have them entered in the database screen.

I have the wp.config file in the same place the sample was when originally downloading wordpress.

@digico what do you mean make sure the files are ok? What should I look for?

I am on my work computer and IT couldn’t help me figure this out either. ??

@macmanx

Thank you for guiding me this far! Your help has been much appreciated.

I have put in a ticket and am still awaiting reply. Until then, I may just start rebuilding the site locally from the original theme files. Such a headache! Thanks again. ??

Thanks for sticking with me macman! I purchased theme from forest and it is called Balance. I have modified the theme quite a bit from its original state.

I have tried replacing the original code to certain .php files and couldn’t find the broken code that way either.

Well I went ahead and updated to wordpress 4.0 and I am still having the same issue.

The update did move around links on my navbar, so I am guessing that is where most of the problems and broken code lie.

Is there anything else I can offer for possible help in fixing this?

@samuel

I have definitely been learning the hard way -_-

Thank you for the reply! I am ftp’d into the site and am going to back up these files and try to update to 4.0. I hope this fixes it!

I just updated for the first time in too long to 3.9 and it threw a huge error on the entire website and all that was live was a white page with a line of error code on it.

A friend of mine helped me fix it by blocking a certain ending portion in the functions.php file and I am not sure what it was.

I don’t want to update and have my site go down again. I hacked and customized the current theme I am running so it is very touchy.

I am assuming I could back up what I have now and update to wp4 in hopes it doesn’t throw an error across the entire site, in the case that it does I can try to figure out how i can revert to the previous version.

Is there any quick and easy way to back up my WordPress files, or is a grueling process?

Hoping this incredible wordpress community has patience with me here seeing as I am not too proficient with all things wordpress. Thanks guys!!

I added: define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );

to the wp-config file and still no help there.

I may have removed a css rule that had something to do with clears, or removed a div somewhere in the header that is causing the timestamp to un nest and push its self in the way of the editor. :/

@macmanx

I was running a few trial and error tests in the header.php file and the homepage template and was trying to customize some css. I believe I updated the wrong tab and didn’t replace something I removed. ?? I was clearly not being smart and didn’t back this up. I can read some php and modify slightly but I am not a wordpress master just yet.

@hakkim

I have tried this already and it did not resolve the problem. But I will be trying again!

I have added a screen shot of what my wordpress dashboard looks like through one of my other websites. I thought that may help describe whats going on here.

When i initially select a page to edit, it allows me to edit the text. But if I try to switch to the visual, nothing appears in the editor and I am unable to return to the text editor.

Thank you for replying to my post and trying to help me fix my dumb mistake.

I am having the same issues with being unable to install plugins. Im beginning to think that the $30 upgrade to customize your theme is needed. But I thought by installing your wordpress scripts into your server hosting company that options such as installing plugins would be available in the wordpress admin.
