After 4.2.3 update can't create article, neither to select tag or category

  • Hello,

    After 4.2.3 update I am not able to create articles. Here is the problem:

    After I’ve selected to create new article, in the right column Category and Tag options are missing. If I try to save draft or publish the content, it tells me that I don’t have rights to do so.

    Does someone else has the same issue, and how can I fix it? I am ready to provide whatever information you need, in order to resolve this issue.

    Thank You!

  • I have similar issue. Publish and Save Draft buttons do not work after updating. After clicking them I just get back to the previous version of the Article/Page.

    Hi! I have the same problem and can’t find solution.

    The worst thing is that I don’t know what can cause the issue.

    I am not sure that in my case it has something to do with the new release. I can create new pages/posts perfectly but I cannot change the old ones. It might have something to do with the database but have no idea how to fix it.

    Also I updated wordpress to 4.2.3 at my second page and everyting works fine there.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
    – switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). If you don’t have access to your admin area, use FTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides. Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder by adding “-old” to the end of the folder name. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUAL updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old copies of files & folder on your server before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first.
