Josh,

Thanks and listen, I think you and all the mods are gold – for real. I also appreciate your perspective. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Truly!

I am just going to wait and see a day or two and see what gets pushed out from my theme (Asteroid) and the connected plug-ins. Really not much else I can do.

Best,

Colton

I just want to share that I have tried every single one of these fixes and none of them worked. I realize the support is offered by volunteers and for that I am thankful and deeply appreciative. And so what follows does not apply to you guys but instead, the people who push out code at WP.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that WP would release 3.9 without offering some type of a warning that BASIC functions, like typing a post in Visual Editor may not work. And the “fixes” that have been suggested here and elsewhere work for some but not all. Even when these fixes do work, it seems like it is a major hassle that can severely damage the appearance and function of a site. I read one post here where someone had a site that was credentialed and that switching themes was a non-starter. Again – ridiculous that a drastic step like changing themes would even need to happen.

What on earth were they thinking? I know I am not alone with this. This was just a gigantic mess and we now have a situation where a huge part of the blogging community cannot “post” because WP pushed out this version. It’s like telling people “Here is a new version of our paper product” and forgetting to tell people that “oh, your pen may not work.”

And don’t we just love that on one day, we all upgraded to 3.8 and not just 24 hours later, 3.9 is pushed out.

Sorry for the rant but my ability to use WP is completely stalled now. I know I am not alone. I truly hope someone reading this who pushes out the code reads this.

Again, to the moderators here, you guys rock and I certainly am appreciative. Just wish the fixes mentioned worked for me (I really did try them all).

Whoever is reading this from WP who creates the newer versions, please make sure that WP users see a warning of some type when they sign on to WP that advises them of major issues that “could” happen as a result of the upgrade.
