Updating Post Bug after updating to 4.9.4

    So after I updated I discovered that when I try to update a page or a post, the text window is only about 1/4 the size it should be (about an inch) and all the edit buttons (bold, italics, etc.) are missing.

    I have no idea how to fix this. I’m not sure if it is an issue with one of the plugins I have installed. I’ve tried to disable a couple, but nothing seems to work. Since I have this problem on two sites (I know, I’m an idiot for updating them both before thoroughly checking things.) these are the only plugins on both sites: Display Post Shortcode, Gravity Forms, Redirection, WP Category Permalink, WP101 Video Tutorials.

    I hate to uninstall them only to discover that’s not the case if it’s something else.

    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 Seventeen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    If the above steps do not help , try Troubleshooting with your browser: Your browser can help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts and this article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.

    Okay, deactivated all plugins. Did not fix the problem. Going to try the Health Check plugin now and see if it is the theme.

    For some reason, I can install Health Check but it is not showing up in the dashboard. Not sure why.

    Figured it out.

    Okay, Health Check didn’t fix any of the problems. Tried switching the theme and everything. I guess I move on to the brower/JavaScript test tomorrow.

    So when I actually switched themes to a default one, I noticed that the text controls (bold, link etc.) showed up but the text area was still small.

    When I ran the Firefox developer, I got this (and I uninstalled tinymce:

    Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://harrisburgmagazine.com/wp-includes/js/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=4.9.4”. edit.php:1

    Try deleting your adrotate plugin.

    After deleting, flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try MANUALLY updating. Download WordPress again and unzip it. Access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Please read the Manual Update directions first.
    – Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!

    The manual update of WordPress FIXED the issue. Thank you!!
