I tried this plugin on my live WordPress installation and about half of the themes and plugins failed to scan due to the server killing the process. I copied my installation to XAMPP on my local machine and tried it again and EVERYTHING failed to scan. I tried increasing the max_execution_time in the php INI-PRODUCTION, INI-DEVELOPMENT, and Configuration Settings files and it made no difference (re-started the Apache server after making the changes). I suppose for me this doesn’t matter because my site seems to be working fine running in XAMPP under PHP 7.4.2. Just adding my experience attempting to utilize this plugin, it has not been useful at all to make sure I can safely upgrade PHP on my site.

I apologize for the lack of response as I was away for work and was not able to investigate further. I tried creating a different Author level account and encountered the same result; after uploading a piece of media from within that account the Quick Edit seems to function normally for that media. I tried creating a different Administrator level account was able to use the Quick Edit as I would expect for existing media. I tried creating an Editor level account and encountered the same result. The Quick Edit feature only seems not to work in the Administrator account that I have always had and have always used. For some reason the action of creating a new account seems to be getting rid of the problem. Fascinating right? I suppose I can just create a new Administrator account and delete my old one. No telling though whether at some point down the road the Quick Edit will stop working in that account.

I’m not sure how much that is going to help. I just created an Author account, uploaded a new piece of media, and clicked on quick edit; the fields actually populated! It also saved any changes I made to the fields. I logged out of the Author account and back in as an Administrator and tried to quick edit the same piece of media that I uploaded as an Author and the fields did not populate! If I upload a new piece of media as an Administrator and then attempt to quick edit, the fields also do not populate. It seems we can’t win on this one.

If I hit cancel after attempting to quick edit the table entries remain intact, cancel seems to appropriately cancel out of quick edit.

I deactivated both of the outdated plugins (Excerpt Editor and PJW Query Child Of) and the problem seems to remain unchanged. I assume complete deletion of the plugins isn’t really necessary to see if they are having an affect on the problem. I went an additional step and deactivated all of my other plugins and the problem seems to remain unchanged.

I pulled up the debugger in IE9, went to the script tab and turned on debugging but did not get any script errors. I changed pages from the media library to the MLA, initiated a quick edit and canceled it, all while debugging, without getting any script errors. I did also try deleting the browser cache and session cookies and repeating the above procedure. I repeated this procedure after adding define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true); to the wp-config.php file but still did not encounter any errors. In general I am not very comfortable working in the debugger, I have some coding background but it was quite a while ago now.

Thank you for your quick response, I appreciate it. I took a look at the source code for the submenu page as you suggested and it seems the data is there. The information for each media item is also properly displayed in the media library assistant, right up until I click on quick edit when it all goes away for that particular item. Many of my media items are indicated as (ORPHAN?) (BAD PARENT?) as well with many having no “Inserted In” data.

When I pull up the debugger in the web developer toolbar the mla-inline-edit-scripts.min.js file is in the list so I think that it is being loaded as it should be.

If I make a change to an item using the quick edit it does save the changes, including any failure to fill in missing data (if I don’t type in the proper parent ID it will become blank). The quick edit feature seems to work normally for editing pages, the data is correctly populated in the fields when quick edit is selected.

The other plugins I am running are as follows;
-Breadcrumb NavXT 4.3.0
-Enable Media Replace 2.8.2
-Excerpt Editor 1.4
-PJW Page Excerpt 0.02
-PJW Query Child Of 1.1
-Portfolio Slideshow Pro 1.4.9
-Reveal IDs 1.4.0

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
I first encountered this problem in Firefox but I’m experiencing the same thing in Chrome and IE 9, which leads me to believe that Firefox and its add-ons (such as NoScript) must not be causing the problem.

Thanks for your help!
