I found the cause ??

I’ve noticed that if I’m logged in, the front page appears as it should be. So, it couldn’t have been the theme, rather something with a “caching” mechanism.

I’m using a plugin called hummingbird-performance (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/hummingbird-performance/) and I had to clear the cache. Usually I didn’t have to do this for a new post, more like if I would change something in the site appearance or some code, but now for some reason it required manually clear of the cache.

I found the code that is causing the source, now I just need to check how to fix it.

In the functions.php I have the following:

// ===== PB AUTO-INSERT EXCERPT ===== //
function pb_insert_excerpt(){
        $post_data = &$_POST;
        $post_id = $post_data['ID'] ;
        $post_title = $post_data['post_title'];
        $post_excerpt = $post_data['post_excerpt'];
        $existing_img = strstr($post_excerpt, 'jpg');
        if($post_data['post_excerpt'] = isset($post_data['excerpt'])) {
                        if ($existing_img) {
                                return $post_excerpt;
                } else {
                                $arrImages =& get_children('post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . $post_id);
                                if($arrImages) {
                                        $arrKeys = array_keys($arrImages);
                                        $iNum = $arrKeys[0];
                                        $sThumbUrl = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url($iNum);
                                        $thumbWidth = get_option("thumbnail_size_w");
                                        $thumbHeight = get_option("thumbnail_size_h");
                                        $sImgString = '<img src="' . $sThumbUrl . '" width="'.$thumbWidth.'" height="'.$thumbHeight.'" alt="'.$post_title title="'.$post_title.'" />' ;
                                        return $sImgString;
                                }
                        }
        }
}

Then later this function is called and the original excerpt is removed:

add_filter('excerpt_save_pre', 'pb_insert_excerpt');
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');

If I comment the pb_insert_excerpt
//add_filter('excerpt_save_pre', 'pb_insert_excerpt');

all is fine, the textarea appears.

Now I just have to check what in this function is breaking the functionality. If you have any idea to speed up things, I would appreciate it.

I just assume that there is something regarding how this function is written and the new code of WP 4.5

Thanks!

OK, I did found an easy implementation thanks to:
https://www.digitalhubinc.com/2013/06/Create-Exclusive-Previous-Next-Left-Right-Navigation-Button-for-WordPress-Blog.html

Easier than I imagine. I tend to see things more complex that they are.

The “arrows” do not appear directly over the image, but if you play with the CSS code it’s not hard to place them wherever you need.

Try to:

1)
Remove:
wp-content/advanced-cache.php
wp-content/db.php
wp-content/w3tc/
wp-content/w3-total-cache-config.php
wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/

If you want to remove w3tc manually

2)
chmod 777 /home/audisite/public_html/similestack.com/wp-content/cache/tmp
chmod 777 /home/audisite/public_html/similestack.com/wp-content/w3tc-config

as advised in the error. If you want to keep your w3tc.

HTH,

Hello Bryan,

Thanks for taking the time to look into my issue.
I did test with all browsers which I have installed: Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox (with and without privacy mode enable). All have the same issues.

I did a little screencast to show you: https://screenr.com/BPW7

If you check my screencast you’ll see that Chrome / Safari start to expand the box like crazy only after 5-6 words. Firefox instead starts immediately.

Hello,

I had the same problem. Apparently I was trying to minify a script that was already minified. I’m using the W3 Total Cache plugin, so I disabled JS minify settings. I have to check more what JS was actually causing this issue, but disabling the JS minify did the job for me.

Good luck!

Hello,

I had the same problem after upgrading to WP 3.2 and Download Manager 2.0.14
Disable / enable the plugin did the trick. It’s working for me now. You can try, maybe it solve your problem too.

I have the same error but conflicting with Stream Video Player ??
