And also, when I switch to the HTML/plain text editor, the Submit Reply button is not there either.

I also changed themes to no avail.

Can you try uninstalling the tinymce plugin (NOT deleting or just deactivating it) and then reactivating it?
Or… do you by chance have another plugin active that might be adding buttons to the tinymce editor? If you dio perhaps you could quickly try deactivating that to see if it sorts out the editor toolbar.

As to the missing Submit button then I think I would need to be to see this and interrogate the code being generated. Any chance of an account to come and tale a look? If so then please PM credentials to both myself and to ‘Mr Papa’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

I have tried uninstalling TinyMCE, and that doesn’t help.

No other plugins use tinymce to my knowledge, but anyway, I tried deactivating them all to see if it would help and it didn’t.

I will send both you and Mr Papa a PM with login details. Thank you!

hmmm… is working for me fine on your site… see image

Can you verify its still a problem?  and if so, please make sure on your sp profile, options, posting options you have tinymce selected as your editor…

Curious as it didn’t display right for me just now. And Steve – what is with the three toolbar rows?

The Submit/cancel buttons etc., are all missing. Now this is because – for reasons that at the moment completely escape me – your system is interpreting button input controls as checkboxes! And because of the way we deal with checkboxes within SP they have become hidden. Now I can give you a workaround for that but it is a puzzle I would like to know the answer to so – do you have anything installed that might be performing some sort of massaging of form element controls?

Mr. Papa,

That Add Reply button is not the one in question. I mean the one below the text box, when you’re done typing and want to submit it.

Yellow Swordfish,

I have no idea if anything in my system is messing with the button input controls. I will look into that and check with my hosting company and/or the other plugin that *might* be doing something.

I would appreciate a work-around in the meantime. Thank you!

I did check that TinyMCE is selected as the editor.

Ok the method will depend in what version you have so lets try the most up to date first.
You will need t make an edit to a template in the /templates folder of your SP theme. The file is spFunctions.php.

At the top you should see a line that says – define(‘SP_USE_PRETTY_CBOX’, true); – and I would like you to change the word true to false and save. You can edit this with the theme editor built into the SP admin.

Does that fix the buttons?

It is working now and all the rows and buttons are in the right place now, too.

Thank you! I really appreciate your prompt help.

Will I need to do this everytime I update the theme (unless I figure out what is conflicting)?

Are there any downsides to this work around?

No, this should be safe from theme updates… it just displays a regular html checkbox now instead of a ‘fancy’ checkbox… perhaps a bit less aesthetically pleasing but fully functional…

please let us know what your host says though it might be a wp plugin or theme doing it. the editor isnt important as evidently Andy understood your issue where I was interpreting differently…

My host investigated and couldn’t find anything. The other plugin author confirmed his has nothing to do with this. So it is a mystery. I’m just happy it is working and don’t care if it looks fancy.

Thanks!

Very odd. Would really like to have known what was behind it.
