Is there a donate button for you? I’ve been struggling with this for almost 10 months (I kept rolling back to WordPress 3.9x in order to be able to view my admin dashboard).

Thanks so much.

“.htaccess” reads as follows

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

# END WordPress

Problem persists whether or not the .htaccess file is present or deleted entirely.

I am having the same problem. I get stuck in the reauth loop as I’m calling it now.

The only way I could resolve the issue was the downgrade back to 3.9 – maybe in the next release candidate they’ll have it sorted out?

i’ve reinserted all of my posts and all of my comments. for whatever reason, if i try to import my categories it kills the post editor.

there was definitely something wrong with my wp_options database. i’ve scrapped it entirely and gone to default. it made me lose all my widgets, but at least my posts are in, my comments are back in, and i can edit and create posts again.

thanks for all the pointers esmi.

ok. so it now appears i have the following problem. if the database term_taxonomy is active/loaded for my site (theworldforgot.com) i can no longer load the post editor. i can edit and create new posts as long as term_taxonomy is dropped from my databases.

any new thoughts?

could it be because my terms database (and consequently my terms_relationships) contain all custom categories?

i’ll try wiping each of those databases and reverting those three databases all to the default wordpress databases and check what happens.

EDIT – no matter what term_taxonomy is loaded (regardless of the terms or terms_relationships that is loaded or dropped) if term_taxonomy is in my databases it kills the post editor.

i’ll try one more time starting from scratch with a new database. go through the install process for wordpress (so it sets up all the default/necessary databases) and then add back in my posts, comments, etc. via phpmyadmin.

this has been a royal pain in the rear and i cannot understand why using custom categories would ever cause this problem.

all of my taxonomies were custom. which would apparently kill the editor from the dashboard? absolutely crazy.

but crap, now i delete my term_taxonomy and i can’t load it back (because my new old one breaks the install again)

i’m assuming that once i upload a new term_taxonomy i’ll have the ability to comment again… i hope.

so far the only offending database has been the term_taxonomy database… weird. everything else i’ve added back as worked fine. adding back the term_taxonomy database causes me to lose the editor again.

it appears as if my rampant use of categories killed it? somehow?

also, now my comments are dead. i can’t view them or make new comments on posts… but at least i can post.

installing on a fresh database (without importing anything over from the old databases) has fixed the problem…. now i just need to get all of my old data ported over.

thanks esmi – i’ll update if i have more problems. at least i can post now!

i’ve done that. still the same problems. i’ve completely wiped everything off of my site via FTP and have started over from scratch. the only thing that i brought over from my previous installation of wordpress was my mysql databases.

in my mind (by process of elimination) it seems as if something in the mysql databases are causing the screw up.

is there a way to completely reset the wp_options?

i ask this because i’ve had this same error before (about a year ago) and the only way i found to “fix” this issue was to roll back my installation to wordpress 2.7.2. or 2.7.1 – it must be something that’s in one of the mysql databases that’s still attempting to edit the way the dashboard/editor works/appears.

no, i never have access to any editor no matter what theme i choose (and all the ads, etc., in the sidebar are loaded as widgets – mostly just simple html text)

of note, along the left bar when i’m in the wordpress dashboard the entire menu is displayed.

however, in this menu certain functions do not work. for instance, on each main menu heading “posts” “media” etc. the arrow that should allow you expand and collapse these menus does nothing.

i think the problem must be within the wp_options database. is there a way that i can delete wp_options as a database and install the default? or is there a way to revert to default in the database?

i’m going through wp_options line by line and there is one thing that stands out to me as odd…

0 395 lighter_options a:9:{s:13:”display_icons”;i:1;s:14:”separate_menus”;i:1;s:15:”reduce_userinfo”;s:0:””;s:12:”remove_howdy”;s:0:””;s:12:”hide_submenu”;s:1:”1″;s:11:”max_plugins”;s:2:”30″;s:9:”show_zero”;s:0:””;s:9:”uninstall”;s:0:””;s:6:”folder”;s:0:””;}

i vaguely recall using some sort of tool/plugin to change the user interface of wordpress 2.7.x to have tabs, etc. could this be it?

esmi – i’ve reactivated my old theme (a theme built off of K2) – and my blog looks fine now (as it should).

the problem persists. i am completely missing any editor for both Add Post and Edit Post. both show the titles of “Edit Post” and “Add Post” at the top of the page but i have no editor (visual or html) to work in.

all of my plugins are deactivated (i even deleted the plugins folder and replaced it with a blank plugins folder via FTP) but i still have no editor.

i haven’t had the chance to try to dig through this problem any further… it might be something that 1and1 inherently has on their end of the table. i know that included in their website development kit is a stripped down version of a wordpress… i of course don’t use it and have never played around with it, but i wonder if there’s something stuck on my domain, etc., that is causing this conflict.

no matter which domain i use or what database i use, 4.0 or 5.0, existing or brand new, i can’t get the center column in the wordpress interface to show up when i go to edit posts or create new posts.

the only solution i’ve found for this is rolling back your installation to 2.6.5 {other versions may work as well, but 2.6.5 was the first version that i arbitrarily tried and it worked so i didn’t mess with it anymore}

sorry thomas – i haven’t been able to really spend time to see if i can trouble shoot the problem.

it’s weird because it happened in both a brand new fresh install of 2.7.1 on a separate domain with a separate and brand new database…

you wouldn’t happen to use 1and1 to host your domain would you? maybe it’s something on their end?

all i know is that rolling back to 2.6.5 works and that’s good enough for me as i need to post four or five days every week to maintain a healthy site. hopefully i’ll be able to upgrade later on, maybe wait until 2.7.2 or later, as the new interface is much cleaner and much more intuitive.

well i downgraded back to wordpress 2.65 and now i can successfully edit my posts and create new posts.

this makes me feel that there’s some file/folder that needs to be deleted when upgrading to 2.7.1 that for some reason hides the post editor.

this issue is clearly not resolved, but i did find a work around by going back to an older build of wordpress. if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this {i’d love to upgrade if i could} i appreciate it in advance.
