[Plugin: WP Super Edit] Super Editdoesn’t let me edit my posts

Hmm.. Could you give me the WordPress version you are using and the WP Super Edit Plugins and buttons you have active. Also provide some information about other plugins your are using.

I have WP Super Edit 2.1 running on a couple of WordPress 2.6 and 2.7-beta sites right now, and I cannot reproduce your problem.

I would guess that there is another plugin that is interfering. WP Super Edit only changes the behavior of the editor, so you should have content in your HTML tab. If you have content in the HTML tab for your editor. Then it could be a WP Super Edit problem. If you don’t see anything at all in either the Visual or HTML tabs then something is stripping the content from the textarea.

Now if you have content in the HTML tab… If you are using the “Custom CSS Styles” and you have an editor.css file for your theme it may have something that is causing the content to become invisible.

I have a similar problem with WP 2.7 and WP Super Edit 2.1.

I built the site on a local server and everything worked fine. I moved it to the live server and now user (with the exception of the original admin account) have problems editing posts.

When a user opens a post or page to edit the graphical editor pane is empty. When they switch between graphical and HTML the content appears. When they hit the “Update Page” button a WordPress warning (“do you really want to leave this page”) pops up.

Also, on page load Firebug shows a javascript error
ed.controlManager.get(tbId) is undefined (editor_plugin.js Line 23)

Things I’ve tried so far:
– toggling visual editor setting in user profiles
– removing and re-installing the plugin
– removing and re-creating user accounts

As I’ve said this works flawlessly with the admin account that was created on install, plus it worked on my localhost, so I assume there is something wrong with the server, but I have no idea how the server would affect the javascript, so I’d be grateful for any help, hints or educated guesses.

I’m not using superedit, but I was creating something similar for a custom plugin. After hours of looking into this I ended up solving it by marking the user setting “hidetb” to a value of “1”. I actually have no idea what this does, but it made things start working for me.

So in my page (you would probably have to modify the WP Super Edit plugin) I have these 3 lines now:

tinyMCEPreInit.go();
setUserSetting(‘hidetb’, ‘1’);
tinyMCE.init(tinyMCEPreInit.mceInit);

That removed the “ed.controlManager.get(tbId) is undefined (editor_plugin.js Line 23)” error and it started working.
