So Pages (in this particular WordPress theme) does have the comments template. But posts do as well. After spending more time on it, it looks like the issue appears to be that Disqus will not load on privately published or preview posts (but comments will). Once the posts in question were published, Disqus showed up instead of the comments (I swore I published the posts in the course of troubleshooting but I don’t have another explaination).

Try actually validating them, it will highlight errors and the main message will go away on every page.

Hmmm, I wasn’t aware of the main content box visual editor issue. That might be what’s happening but I’m almost positive the main content editor always remains in visual mode. I’ll keep that and the empty spans in mind.

I would suggest Advanced Custom Fields instead. It works with 4.0, but there are some issues with editing text fields and toggling between text and visual modes that you can find on this forum. ACF is much more stable and if you haven’t already installed CFT I’d recommend it highly.

This is an issue for me as well!

Thanks for your response! Spots are working great on my wordpress build now, thank you.

Thanks so much! In the meantime I found the shortcode on this post:

And used that in the text view.

Try clearing your cache and cookies?

I got this error after changing a user’s password, and clearing cache and cookies worked for me.

I’m having the same issue. I have updated the code provided by weismannweb, it no longer inserts relative links in the text area, though I have to re-insert the image in the visual editor.

I’ve noticed however, I’m no longer able to save when I use the “toggle” feature to go from visual to text mode. In visual mode, I can make changes and save them, and they stick, but if I go to text mode, changes immediately revert back to what ever they were when I opened the page.

Also I’ve noticed in the visual mode that images no longer have the little edit icons that appear on hover. Normally there’s a little pencil icon that opens up the same dialogue as the media uploader, allowing you to edit the size, title, and alignment of the image inserted into the text. This simply doesn’t show up now. Switching to text would allow me to alter those manually but of course as I mentioned, doing so doesn’t allow me to save. I’m assuming there’s just something in TinyMCE that’s not firing off properly to create this issue. I have to pop over to visual and completely re-do any inserted images to get it to save properly, which is pretty time consuming. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having this exact problem! And it’s extremely frustrating!

I would upgrade to Advanced Custom Fields if I could, (it’s a great plugin), but I’m supporting some very old sites. I used darkhorse20’s solution of putting in an intentionally broken absolute URL, saving, coming back and switching it out for the real URL. It works, but it’s definitely not a long term solution.
