Screenshot of my problem here:

The text field is not clickable.

did you clear your browser cache? are you running the latest SP and tinymce plugin?

another issue is wishlist tags plugin or other plugins that incorrectly add things to the wp tinymce toolbar… any plugins that might be doing that?

Hey Mr Papa

Im running Simple:Press v. 5.2.2, and Tiny MCE Editor plugin v. 2.0.3.

Furthermore i use:

Template tags and widgets

I did try to clear my cache, and its still not working. I have activated the plugin temporarily on the site, so you can see the bug for yourself (and maybe debug it?)

Your are getting quite a few scripting errors. But I see nothing obvious.

I have a hunch – judging by some of the errors showing up in the console debugger, that maybe one of your plugins (or even some code from the Wp theme perhaps) is making calls that might no longer be supported in this later and newer version of jQuery.

So – are there any updates pending for your plugins/Wp theme etc?

All of my WP plugins are updated to latest versions, but the theme itself isn’t (it is heavily modified by myself, so i can’t really update it anymore).

The only plugin that i haven’t been able to update to latest version, is the “UberMenu” plugin.

I have a programmer who helps me out with the site, so if you can give me a hint as to what to look for in the theme files, it would be greatly appreciated.

first, do you have any other plugins or theme that tries to add anything to tinymce?  like additional buttons…  most were never updated when wp applied an api to the wp tinymce editor so it could be use elsewhere…. those that assume its in the wp admin often cause errors because of that incorrect assumption…

I tried deactivating and activating all of the plugins that does that (i had several), but none of it worked. I think my theme (it is Avenue from Themeforest) is adding an entire row of buttons to the editor… Actually i’m pretty sure of it. 

I’m not using those, so if you can give me a guideline to where these might be added so i can remove them, it would be greatly appreciated. I did try to contact the theme support site, but no help there…

you can do a quick test and switch to the default wp theme and see if it starts working…

afraid no clue where they might be trying to add the buttons…  but maybe search for mce_buttons or mce_buttons_2… those could be the wp hooks they are using…

does the theme not offer any options on their admin panel for turning that functionality off?

It did indeed work when i switched to one of the default themes, and no, unfortunately the option to disable that functionality does not exist in the theme admin file.

I’ll try and have a go at finding the lines you mentioned, and add another ticket on their support.

like I said, if you can find where they hook into the wp tinymce, we can help turn it off…

Unfortunately i have no idea where to look for it, and i just talked to my programmer (who is also just working freelance as that), and he too has to call “pass” when it comes to wp hooks.

Guess there’s nothing for me to do, than to wait (hope) for a theme update.

Did you search the theme files? Is it a free theme that you can zip up and send us to look at?

I bought the theme off of Themeforest, so i’m sure i would be breaking the license if i uploaded it freely. I could – however – mail it to you i guess?

I did find a “tinymce” folder, with this file in it:

Well before we go that far open the themes functions.php file (you can use the WP theme editor for this) and go through it to see if you can see any code that starts with the terms ‘add_action’ or ‘add_filter’ and if you find some see if that is followed by anything that looks like it might be tinymce or editor related.
