Edit window tooo long 3.5

I have this same issue.

Have you tested without any plugins on?

Yes I have tried it with all plugins deactivated.

Have you tried:

– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

I’m afraid to try the default theme because I’ve customized zenlite so much it’s almost unrecognizable.

I’ve deleted any plugins not in use. I only have 5 and I could resize the edit window previously while these plugins were active. I don’t think they are the problem.

I’ve customized zenlite so much it’s almost unrecognizable.

Well that was very naughty of you. Especially as you can even down a basic ZenLite child theme that you can use for all of your customisations.

Fortunately, your changes should not be lost if you switch to the default theme. However, you will no longer be able to upgrade ZenLite and I’m afraid that I (as the theme’s author) won’t be able to support your customised version.

I should also point out that the original ZenLite theme does not change any editing windows.

Ok, I do not have ZenLite and I have done all the things you recommend. I have
? Reset my plugins folder
? Uploaded all files and folders other than wp-content from a fresh download of WP after deleting all the old files first
? deleted all themes other than the WP themes.
? Tried the 2010 and 2012 themes
? deactivated all plugins and then reset my plugins folder

I have 3 other sites using WP and none of them have the same issue, only my blog site which is the one I mostly do posts with. The others are more websites than blog sites.

I think that when I copied and pasted an article into a new blog is when this all happened.

Is there a way to change the edit window length somewhere on the styles page?

Thanks.

My posts were in response to @captconch.

Try adding define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).

Ok, I did it and still have the same long edit window. To make sure I did this correctly here is how the last three lines of my config file look –

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

Have you tried using another browser? Another computer on a different network?.

Tried another browser (Firefox) – no difference

Tried my laptop on another network – no difference

What happens if you set up a new user and login as this user?

That worked!!

Thank you!

Can I delete my old user name, I do not think there is anything that I need to save from it.

Ah! It sounds like it could be some kind of user cookie corruption issue or a problem in the users table of the database. Can you try deleting all of your cookies and then logging back in using your old login? If you don’t want to bother with further troubleshooting, just ensure that your new user has full admin access and delete your old user name. You should be prompted with an option to transfer authorship of any Posts & Pages to another user during the deletion process.
