Advanced link dialog not working WPSE 2.4.6 (WP3.5.1)

  • Hi, I’ve just updated a site to WP 3.5.1 w/ WPSE 2.4.6. Now, the advanced link dialogue is not working. Any help with figuring out how to solve this will be greatly appreciated! I love the WPSE plugin, and my client has grown dependent on it.

    Whenever the link dialogue is invoked, all of the drop-down menus are simply blank. I can add a new link to text which I have selected. But after that, if I put my cursor on the link (or any previously existing link) and then click the link button, when the dialogue box opens, the Link URL field is blank too.

    I have tried these troubleshooting steps:

    1. Clear browser cache
    2. Test on different browsers (FF, Chrome)
    3. De-activate/re-activate plug-in
    4. Activating the WP Super Edit Upgrade Utility plugin
    5. Reinstall by pressing the Uninstall WP Super Edit Database Tables button and deactivating. Then reactivate the main WP Super Edit plugin before you activate any of the sub-plugins

    Any other suggestions? Please let me know if I can provide any other information which might be helpful.

    Thanks, – Paul

  • We have exactly the same issue here, when selecting the any graphic on a page that had been configured previously via the Graphic button on the WP Super Edit toolbar the dialog comes up completely blank. No link, graphic link, size or alignment settings, mouseover/mouseout etc. And the button says Insert, not Apply if changes are input manually. The actual underlying HTML is correct but there is no way to edit these settings in the WP GUI until this is fixed. Is there anyway to roll back to a previous version?

    Same issue at my site and at a new site where I installed WP5.1 and WPSE2.4.6 from scratch
    Previous version gave lots of PHP errors after upgrading to WP5.1, so no option

    thanks,

    Now, in the meantime, I have disabled advanced options because it was so frustrating and this way I can open links in a new page

    Apparently the similar plugin TinyMCE Advanced had the same problem. I found some information in this TinyMCE Advanced forum post:
    [resolved] Advanced link popup drop downs empty

    Following the suggestion of everville, I edited the WP Super Edit file:
    wp-super-edit/tinymce_utils/tiny_mce_popup.js

    Replacing…

    tinymce.dom.Event._add(document, "focus", function () {

    With…

    tinymce.dom.Event.add(document, "focus", function () {

    and that fixed my problem.

    I know that editing the file in the plug-in will mean that the fix will go away the next time I update the plug-in, but hopefully the plugin author will have this fixed by then.

    I have updated WP Super Edit and merged in updates to the TInyMCE plugins and utilities included with WP Super Edit.

    This should fix most of the issues I’ve seen with plugin modal window field names and failures.
