Glad to run across this thread today! Been driving me nuts trying to figure out what was up with our web server when we’d post a new article.

In my case, I’m server admin, so I was able to up the MaxRequestWorkers number in Apache as well as moved the logo file to CloudFront.

I’m hoping the MaxRequestWorkers helps with featured thumbnails on Chrome (since only about half our users are on Chrome) and obviously moving the logo file will reduce server load for all browsers. If all else fails, and it ends up still being an issue, I’ll setup W3 Total Cache so all images are hosted on CloudFront. I wish it was possible to host the three JavaScript files in sdk_files folder in the WordPress plugin, too, though.

For reference, our list of users that can receive notifications is just a hair under 20,000. EC2 Server has 30GB of RAM (was barely even used, since MaxRequestWorkers was too low) with 4 CPUs (never went past ~25%). Apache should utilize our resources more fully with the updates, and hopefully no more issues with the website going down.

I’ve looked into this a bunch and from what I’ve seen, the reason is because CKeditor seems to expect the following nesting of elements:

[a href…][caption][img/][/caption] text goes here[/a]

HOWEVER, WordPress’ default editor (as well as the Insert Media button) formats them as follows:

[caption][a href…][img/][/a] text goes here[/caption]

I’ve looked a bit at the JavaScript for CKeditor, but it really gets past my level of expertise … I haven’t seen anyone else (that I know of) reporting the issue with the details I mentioned above, so hopefully this will help the developer or someone figure out the problem!! It’s driving me batty!!!

An alternative to fixing the blank editor window is to switch over to the HTML tab (which will be blank), then reload the page … at this point, put the [caption] inside the anchor element [a] and then click “Visual” … it *should* work (though sometimes I’ve had to add in paragraph tags manually)

Hope this helps people!
