white on white text when editing posts, WP 2.9, fresh install

Try re-uploading the wp-includes folder from a fresh download of WordPress.

done: fresh download, unzip, upload the wp-includes. site still has the same error when posting.

the wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php file is still missing a closing tag. the entire code on this page consists of:

`<?php
/**
* Disable error reporting
*
* Set this to error_reporting( E_ALL ) or error_reporting( E_ALL | E_STRICT ) for debugging
*/
error_reporting(0);

$basepath = dirname(__FILE__);

function get_file($path) {

if ( function_exists(‘realpath’) )
$path = realpath($path);

if ( ! $path || ! @is_file($path) )
return false;

return @file_get_contents($path);
}

$expires_offset = 31536000;

header(‘Content-Type: application/x-javascript; charset=UTF-8’);
header(‘Vary: Accept-Encoding’); // Handle proxies
header(‘Expires: ‘ . gmdate( “D, d M Y H:i:s”, time() + $expires_offset ) . ‘ GMT’);
header(“Cache-Control: public, max-age=$expires_offset”);

if ( isset($_GET[‘c’]) && 1 == $_GET[‘c’] && isset($_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING’])
&& false !== strpos( strtolower($_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING’]), ‘gzip’) && ( $file = get_file($basepath . ‘/wp-tinymce.js.gz’) ) ) {

header(‘Content-Encoding: gzip’);
echo $file;
} else {
echo get_file($basepath . ‘/wp-tinymce.js’);
}
exit;`

The lack of a closing tag isn’t an issue. It’s often a deliberate programming decision.

Do you have any successful installs of WP running on the same server? If not, then it could be a server config problem.

no other installs. i could check phpmyadmin. but what would i look for?

https://templeparlor.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php
can you see that page? it is all code. that just seems wrong. plus the fact that tinymce is also disabled on the posting page along with the white in white text.

That file shouldn’t be called directly but the fact that I can see code suggests that either the file is damaged/incomplete or there’s a problem with the server.

OK, thanks for looking!

anyone have advice for troubleshooting a faulty server configuation? looking over my install of wordpress, i believe the files are all complete and correct because:

the install works on my laptop perfectly. it works on the live server, but with about 90% functionality, i.e. lots of little quirks. when i perform a synchronize with dreamweaver, the files are the same. so, i presume that it is a server config issue.

this problem was caused by an Apache security module on the server – resolved now by disabling the security module..

Would really help others to know which Apache security module was causing the issue and how you disabled it. Having same problem!

Hi,
I got the same problem: white screen in tinymce when editing posts, impossible to switch to HTML tab.
Found the problem: it was generated by the Flash MP3 Player JW2.3 plug-in. Everything worked after desactivating it.
However, I needed the plug-in so digged inside the code and just commented this line in class.config_editor.php in the Flash MP3 Player JW2.3 plug-in:
Line 15
$this->include_color_picker();
So it’s now:

/* Conflict with TinyMce editor:
    $this->include_color_picker(); */

And everything works: the Flash MP3 Player JW2.3 plug-in and the tinymce Editor.
By the way, here is the function that causes the damage:

function include_color_picker(){
    if ($this->wp_ver >= 2.7){
        wp_enqueue_script('farbtastic');
        wp_enqueue_style('farbtastic');
    }
}

So you can see why this would only affects WP 2.7 or more…

I hope this helps other people!
