Post and Page edit screens are blank in FireFox

    Help! I cannot add content to any page (new or existing) or post. From the dashboard, I can select “Pages” or “Posts” and see a list of existing items, but when I select “Edit” under any of them, all I see is a blank area where the editor should appear.

    Same thing happens when I try to “Add Page” or “Add Post”.

    Doesn’t this sort of defeat the purpose of the system? ??

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

    esmi, the solution was simpler but less obvious. I had edited the contents of .htaccess in my wp-admin folder to deny non-admin types, and in the process had removed the WordPress default code (see below). Adding the code back in below my edits restored the page/post editor functionality.

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /[yourhomefolder]/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /[yourhomefolder]/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
