I’m having the exact same issue… Everything was working fine until I upgraded to 2.8 and now I can’t see any of the text from the edit or post screen (if I highlight it I can see it…it’s as if the text is white). None of the options for editing the text are there any longer (no font color, bold, italic, etc…) no formatting tools whatsoever.

I tried deactivating all of my plugins… and I don’t have Google Gears installed and I have tried this with both Firefox and Internet Explorer and it’s a problem in both browsers. I have refreshed, cleared private data, done everything and it still is all screwed up!

This is a HUGE problem for me that I need to get fixed ASAP… Any suggestions anyone? Should I try to revert back to 2.7? Is that easy to do?? If someone can walk me through that or has a fix for this problem in 2.8 that would be very very very helpful!

Thanks,

Andy

I had the same problem. I’m not sure if this is a good solution or not but here’s one thing I did:

First, I backed up the code from the “Page Template (page.php)” by copying it and pasting it into a notepad document on my desktop. I did this in case I run into problems and need to restore things.

Second, I copied the code from the “Main Index Template (index.php)” and pasted it into the “Page Template (page.php)” …replacing the code I now have backed up.

I think this solves the problem, but I’m not sure if there are other problems that may pop up in doing this. I really don’t do much with code I just know enough to screw around and sometimes find a solution or mess things up real bad! So you’ll have to let me know if that works for you and if anyone else knows any better that would be useful for both of us…
