Posting problems

  • On several of my sites, with the new wordpress version, I’m getting a whole different look to my posting pages. Instead of the normal, file, edit, insert, view, format, table, tools headings I’m getting a box moved to the left of the screen with the existing post that I did all scrunched up in the box…I cannot seem to change the posting format back no matter what I do. Went to Settings, Reading and all seems OK there….Any idea from anyone why my site would be doing this….Like I say, I’ve now seen it on at least 3 of mys sites…Thanks.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Tara, thank you for responding to my issue…YES, I temporarily deleted ALL of my plugins to see if that changed anything…YES, it did, but not to the point that I had the posting page back to normal…I still get the small box where all the text resides…I did switch to a different theme with no success…Still have the same issue….I’m really just about to delete the entire site and start over….Hate to do that because I have an audience who always comments on my postings who will miss the ones I put up in the past…I’m still holding out for a solution….

    Patrick.
    PS: Notice the items above my reply…These are the only items that appear on my posting page…the rest of the items that are normally on a posting page on 99% of WordPress sites are missing….

    Here is a link to my site: https://telescopes.totalsportsplay.com/
    The existing posts look normal, but I have no way currently of adding a post or to edit existing posts…

    Tara, I didn’t realize that after my reply you don’t really see the items above a reply, but they are the ones above the reply box in the forum…

    Patrick….

    To clarify, are you talking about in the back-end (admin area)?

    If yes:
    – Your browser can help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts. Do you have any Javascript errors in the console when looking at the editor page? – This article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.
    – If you use any caching systems, like Cloudflare, clear those caches.

    Tara, I tried the site in Firefox and it’s the same as I get in Chrome…All my other sites are fine…I believe I’ve seen this issue on one other site, but I must have 60 sites and they’re fine…Don’t think this has anything to do with a browser….I’m not using Cloudflare and no caching system with this site…
