If I may (for reference), I believe this is what adairk is talking about:

Apologies for bumping this (can no longer edit my post), but another issue that might be related is when dragging an image to scale it up or down, there was a pop-up like thing that would display the width and height as you drag it. That too is gone now (and was there in 3.8.3 or whatever the last release was before 3.9 as I used it this morning).

Also, just read this: A smoother media editing experience

and

Edit images easily

With quicker access to crop and rotation tools, it’s now much easier to edit your images while editing posts. You can also scale images directly in the editor to find just the right fit.

Um, yeah right. Clearly not.

So, anyone in the development team reading this and will the feature be added back in? Not just talking about border and padding, but the ability to change out the image URL, width and height size, etc like it was before?

BTW, to expand, and why this is a hassle, I have templates in which I switch out image URLs (I host them on an image sharing site) so now the only way I can do this is by deleting the image, and re-inserting it, try to get the right width as the ones I’m inserting are larger and need to be slimmed down. Oh, and then make sure I have the border code on right. Wow, what in the heck changed in between these releases???

Congrats WP, just added more time to my work (a good 15-20 minutes as I have to find the right code place). I mean, I love the product for the most part but changes like this (needless mind you) makes me really frustrated. Please do an update and put it back.

Yes, obviously there are workarounds, but I want the other one back. Why in the world was it removed! What a hassle this has become. Now I have to manually change the URL codes, sizes, and such. Sigh.

Thanks, but have no idea what to do. I tried copying those values as posted, but still didn’t work. Anyway, I’ve contacted my host site so perhaps they can help. It’s not a huge deal as the front end of my site is running fine and this fatal error is only under the WordPress Development Blog part.

Interestingly enough, I upgraded another WordPress site and did not get that fatal error (it’s on the same server).

Not that I know of. It’d be nice to have that option as I like writing my posts in full screen mode and hate having to refer to the help button to find out what combination of keys I need to do something.

Apparently you didn’t back it up before upgrading? If so, you could try and contacting your host company and ask if they perform back-ups and restore one before you upgraded WP…

Now, there might be a better solution from people who are more knowledgeable but thought I’d throw that out there in case nothing else works.

Can’t tell as it’s asking me for a password.

Doing a Google search, someone else had the same problem and it seems to be related to a plug-in. So I would first disable all your plugins and keep doing the instructions I posted above (steps 2-5) and then see if you still have that fatal error. Then one by one, re-enable the plug-ins until you encounter that error again.

Here’s the post I was talking about (concerning the fatal error):

Figured it out! It was a conflict with a plugin… to be more exact the WP-Stats-Dashboard Version 2.5.2 | By Dave Ligthart.

Ah, ok. I don’t believe so. On my WP site I can just refresh and it’s updated. Might be because it was the first big change? Not really sure, actually. :p

Glad it’s working now.

Looks like you got it working. I assume you just needed to delete the original index file or something?

I think I had the same kind of problem. Go to the following page and follow the instructions (STEP BY STEP). That resolved my problem with getting 404 errors when clicking on category and tag pages.

Although I have a WordPress site myself and am able to work my way through some of the basics, I am not advanced user by any stretch thus making the backup .htaccess file is highly suggested.

Not entirely sure, but maybe editing your .htaccess file?

Before trying what I say below, where is your WordPress installed? Is it something like public_html/wordpress/? If it is, try the following (again, I’m not entirely confident, but it’s worth a try).

1. Using an FTP program (I recommend Filezilla), download the .htaccess file within the “wordpress” folder and save it into a backup folder (call it what you want, just so you can find it later if need be). To do so in Filezilla, just right click the file and click “Download”. I’m sure other FTP programs are similar.

2. Then open notepad, copy and paste the code below and save it as .htaccess (including the period) to a place where you find it making sure it is not in same folder as the backup copy.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

3. Using Filezilla (or whatever FTP program), upload the new .htaccess you just created to the “wordpress” folder and overwrite the one currently in that folder. To do this in Filezilla, right click the file (from your computer side of the window pane, usually on the left side) and click “Upload”, a window will open asking if you want to overwrite that file; select OK.

Try that and see if you can access your site. If it still doesn’t work, get the old .htaccess file, upload and overwrite the newer one just to get back to the way it was and hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help.

If you need additional help, I have subscribed to this thread.
