I have issues with two plugins:

1. Easy Video Suite. This one plays videos in my posts. After the update to WP 3.9 I found out that when this plugin is activated, the Tiny MCE works fine in the WP admin, but it does not show up at all in SP, and on top of that I cannot even write a post or reply. When I deactivate it, everything works again in SP. So as of now I had to deactivate it.

2. J shortcode. This plugin can insert all kinds of shortcode into posts or pages. However after the upgrade to WP 3.9, the editor icons of this plugin now show up below the Tiny MCE icons in SP, whereas before the J shortcode icons only showed up in the admin side of WP, but not in SP. As you explained to me in a previous post in this thread, this is not your responsibility since there might be a coding issue with the plugin and their hooks.

It is confusing that those icons show in SP, but it is not a disaster. At least the forum is working. The really annoying thing is that all the Tiny MCE icons now show up in duplicate which they had done before the upgrade

However the Easy Video Suite plugin is the big issue since this prevents the forum from working. I have had both plugins for a long time, and all this just happened after the upgrade to WP 3.9.

I hear you and you have my sympathy. It looks like WordPress 3.9 has caught a lot of plugin authors out with code updates needed. I can only recommend that you contact the plugin authors to ask them what you can expect.

Easy Video Suite uses Lightbox and is also responsive. WP 3.9 has built in responsive features now and lightbox has not been upgraded to work with the new built in graphics capabilities of WP 3.9.

I am embedding videos in WP and SP without using any additional plugins for WP now. The gallery feature of WP leaves a lot to be desired but I expect this is by design because it will expand creative license to plugin developers.

As a side note: Responsive themes may not work correctly or may cause display issues if they are independently calling Bootstrap. All of my responsive themes are causing me problems. Test with the 2012 theme and see how things work.

unfortunately bootstrap usage is a potential problem for all users of wp…  it stomps on the jquery ui that wp uses…  the themes ‘get away with it’ a lot because wp core only uses the jquery ui in the admin…  but any wp plugin that use jquery ui (and there are a lot – like simple press) will have problems…  unless that they ensure that jquery ui is loaded after bootstrap via dependencies when loading their bootstrap js…  unfortunately, we cannot force this to happen because the handle for the loaded bootstrap js is different from theme to theme.. but they can do it because the wp core handle for jquery ui never changes…

the wp core devs have talked about supporting bootstrap natively which would be good as they could ensure proper loading in core then..

So if I understand this correctly, because of the bootstrap issue there is nothing that can be done about the TinyMCE icons showing up in duplicate in the SP forum? Or is there anything I can do to make it show up only once as it should be? It freaks me out a bit, because it just doesn’t look very professional for my business.

Is your WP theme using Bootstrap? I do not believe so or there would l;ikely be other issues. Easy to check (View source – search for ‘bootstrap’).

I think you need to deactivate your WP plugins one at a time to find the issue. At least this might be the only recourse to finding what is going on.

Had some issues too. Cleared all my caches and deactivated plugins until it worked. Funny thing, I started reactivating plugins and all seemed to be totally fine. Simple Press works and the plugins are going again.

It is weird but that can happen. WordPress loads plugins in the order in which they were activated. You have probably now changed that order which has automatically corrected a problem with one of them – possibly a script load it no longer has to do but would have caused problems if it had.

Some of my users reported problems with IE after the update, and I’ve checked and found the same on my PC. The text field isn’t, well, a text field – it’s not editable unless I disable TinyMCE.

I know we spoke elsewhere about problems with the Mentions plugin, but that isn’t making a difference here. If I turn off Mentions I still cannot type in the field – it only works again if I disable the SP TinyMCE plugin. I’ve also tried disabling WP plugins but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

Here’s an error message I got in IE, in case it helps:

Message: Can’t move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
Line: 9
Char: 181
Code: 0

All other browsers seem to be fine, thankfully. I’d rather people didn’t use IE at all but I can’t really stop them.

We have had no other reports of any problems using IE. A few questions. Which version of IE are we talking about? And which version of Windows?

Sorry, I should have said. I’m on Windows 7, running IE 8 (it’s my work PC so I can’t update the browser). I don’t know about the user on my site who originally reported it – I can try to find out if it would help.

It would be useful to know. I am not even sure that WordPress officially supports IE8 now but it would not surprise me in the least to discover that TinyMCE doesn’t.

Let us know about your other user and I can see if I can dig anything up.

one other since its an ancient version of IE (yeah stuck with it at my work too), are you using our js cache?  that version of IE has a limit of 32 css and js files that can be included for any one page….  you may be hitting it too – its not that many…

One of the users says he’s got Windows 7 and IE 8.0.7601.17514, so same as me. Still waiting to hear back from the other IE user.

I’m not caching and combining CSS or JS, as I found it caused problems (with, I think, the latest posts updates and stats panel not updating – can’t quite remember).

The other user is running Windows 7 Enterprise and IE 9, Version 9.0.8112.16421. I’ve told them both to disable the TinyMCE editor in their profile settings, but obviously that’s not ideal.
