Javascript errors – don’t know where to start!

  • Hello WP folk

    I recently updated my WP website (WP, theme and plug-ins) and i found i couldn’t edit any pages. The 3-dot line that is clicked upon showed the option to edit but when I did, the option just closed and didnt open the edit screen. After doing the usual disabling plug-ins and using the default theme, no joy. Now for some reason my visual editor has disappeared, and can only edit in code, even though visual editor is enabled. However the text is white on white background unless i disable javascript in my browser. In this case the text appears in black. I opened the console and a number of errors have shown up but I havent the foggiest on how to correct these errors and if indeed this will sonve the problem. I would also like to bring back the visual editor as I am not fluent in html to be able to code the pages.

    Many thanks in anticipation
    Adam
    PS; I have a screenshot of the console, but dont know how to post the image! If someone can tell me how, I can do so!

    Hi James
    AFAIK i havent had a Gutenberg plugin installed. And Im using safari, not firefox as a browser, so does this mean the above doesnt apply?

    I have re-cleared the history/cache in safari but alas I still get errors in the console and white text in the edit screen.

    I’m a bit out of ideas then, I’m sorry. I have asked my colleagues to jump in if they have any.

    You appear to have some kind of add-ons like a Page Builder and such.

    If you only recently upgraded to WordPress 5, then the new editor may not work with your old plugins. You can install the Classic Editor plugin to restore that functionality until such time as your other plugins are updated to work with the new editor.
