Scroll Not Working on Post

    Hi All, when I “Add New”post for my website, the scroll bar on the right of the post does not work. For all other pages including the consolidated “post front page” (Blog), the scroll bar works fine. I’ve tried a number of plugins but nothing seems to work. My questions are:
    – Has somebody fixed a problem like this (how do I get the scroll working)?
    – Where do I find and the code (to change the scroll setting) for the “Add New” post (page) as if I inspect the code (in Chrome) I can see: scrolling=”no” (perhaps it should read scrolling=”yes”)?
    – How do I increase the text limit on a Post (page)?

    Thanks in advance

  • Generally I’ve found when issues arise in the post editor it comes from javascript/css from themes and/or plugin conflicts that override the default WP admin.

    If you use Inspect Element in Chrome – on the top of the window it says “Console” – this will identify if there are any js conflicts.

    The other thing to do to identify the problem is just through trial and error – deactivate all plugins, switch to default WP theme, and then experiment until you find the combination until you identify the cause. At that point, once you know the cause, you can ask for support on that particular theme or plugin that is causing the issue.

    Thanks for the quick response mchelles. There were some conflicts in Chrome, the one that seemed related is Ariel.400.font.js not found. (https://www.sputnik-3.co.za/dealing-with-davos-changing-leadership-paradigms/)

    I tried the trial an error on the plugins but with no luck ??

    In the Single Post (Single.php) CSS file there is no reference to overrun, could that be the issue?

    Using Google’s inspector, it looks like you are missing some files in the folder for your js, so that might be part of the issue, but not 100% sure. If it was caused by a js conflict error in your theme, it would likely have be resolved when you activated one of the WordPress default themes.

    I noticed you are running WP Super Cache – I have not used that plugin, but sometimes with other caching plugins I’ve used, you need to manually refresh/rebuild the cache or even disable the caching plugin, rewrite the .htaccess file and update your permalinks – especially if there’s ever a recent update. You may also want to temporarily enable logging/debugging mode to see if anything unusual is showing.

    Hope you find an answer soon!

    Thanks for all your help mchelles, I did indeed find an answer!

    In my Single Post (Single.php) code, I removed the follow:
    <div class=”navigation navsingle”>
    <div class=”alignleft”><?php previous_post_link(‘<<%link’) ?></div>
    <div class=”alignright”><?php next_post_link(‘%link>>’) ?></div>

    and that seems to have “unlocked” the scroll bar ??

    Many thanks once again mchelles!!

    yes this error was because of Single.page coding of next previous post.
    Thanks a lot @mrpaulmulder & @mchelles!!!!!
