WP editor is blank every time I edit a text area

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 13

In every text block (like “text with title”), I initially add text and save it. It shows on the website fine.

BUT when I edit it by clicking “Edit content”, the “WP Editor” pops up, although the text field is EMPTY (even though I added text another time). I can’t even paste text into this field.

Anyone had this problem or know how to fix?

NOTES:
* I’m using the latest version.
* Other fields/blocks seem to work fine.
* The browser ad blocker is disabled.
* The same happens in any browser.
* In “system status”, clearly my server meets all recommended specs (things like “WP Memory Limit”)

Basically the WYSIWYG “WP Editor” window is normal in every way, except it is BLANK when I try to edit existing text.

Hi,

Did you check the console when you open edit with content?
Maybe you have the ModSecurity enabled, please check this article to disable it https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/1583370-how-to-disable-mod_security

Thank you!

Tried that, didnt work. I have other websites on the same server using Newspaper. They all have this same problem.

What else do you suggest?

It might help to know I can paste text into the “text” tab area, but not the “visual” area of “WP Editor”. But both are blank when I try to edit these sections. I can manually TYPE text in either field/area though.

Sometimes the editor works as it should (maybe 1 in 20 times). I see no reason WHY this would be the case though.

Hi,

Please check if this code is missing from your .htaccess: https://www.screencast.com/t/iN0R93dD3p from our requirements https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ this requirement is not displayed in System Status.
Usually, after you set the code in .htaccess the WP editor works well
Check this guide and make sure you do not have in the .htaccess file some lines with “Deny all”!: https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/

Thank you!

Thanks but tried all that, didnt work. I think the problem is the text in WP Editor isnt actually appearing for some reason. Because if I close the editor without any change, the previously saved text remains on the live website. But if I add anything into the blank WP Editor, then the new text is saved and appears on the live website.

I disabled all ad blockers and tried on different browsers, and get the same problem.

Any other suggestions?

I think this is a pc issue somehow, because it works on another pc. But different browsers on the same pc dont work.

What do you think it could be?

I disabled anti-virus settings but it didnt help.

Hello,

Maybe the antivirus application, even if it is turned off, can work.
If wp editor works on another pc, it means that it is not a common problem, caused by a plugin.

Thank you!
