  • Well, actually the preview pane was not causing the error. It was the java-script inside my header.php, that was meant to do that – very successfully indeed.

    I don’t know of a solution else than disabling all scripts when loading the preview. You don’t really need javascript working in your preview page anyways, at least I don’t.

    So maybe you could consider this to be a design error. Maybe there is also another reason for the edit page reloads, I personally fixed it by removing the <head>-script.

    I recently upgraded from WP 1.5.2 to WP 2.0 and just found out that I can not edit pages anymore. I have tried both Firefox 1.5 and Safari 2.0.3 (on Mac OS X 10.4.4), but they give the same problem: only the preview pane is displayed and a link to ‘edit’, but this link does not work. I tried disabling Java and Java Script in both browsers, but with no positive result.
    It is as if the page is not parsed completely, since the HTML source ends all of a sudden when I view the source in either browser.

    I have no active plugins in my WP 2.0 install (I removed all of them actually from the wp-content/plugins/ directory to try to solve this problem). The only not-default thing I am using is the Letterhead 1.0 theme. This does not seem to be the cause of the problem either, since the problem also occurs when I switch to the default theme.

    Is this a common problem or am I the only one? I could not find other references in the WP Support forums than this thread. If I missed a thread, please mention it. All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

    I am not a fan of all these Java scripts and this WYSIWYG stuff in the new version and consider the preview pane a waste of desktop space. It would be great if there was some option to just disable that all. Thanks for the comment above with the lines of code to remove from the post.php file.
