[Solved] Admin conflicts after upgrade
  • Hi - I upgraded today from the last most recent version to 3.3.0 (I've kept up with upgrades). When logged in as the super admin user with ACF activated, the add/edit post admin seems to be misbehaving. For example, I can't add tags - I can type them into the field, but the "add" button does nothing. And when I choose the link "choose from the list of available tags", the page just hops up a bit. Thus, I can't add or edit post tags. I also can't open the "screen options" panel.

    When I deactivate ACF, these problems go away. I did not have these issues prior to upgrading today.

    Curiously, when I am logged in as a contributor rather than super admin, with ACF 3.3.0 activated, this problem is not present. (And: yay workaround!)

    I have two field groups, both used for post edits:
    Field group one: textarea, text, checkbox
    Field group two: textarea

    Using Wordpress version 3.4.1. The new updated version of ACF that I'm seeing issues with is 3.3.0.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for a marvelous plugin! This is one of the best out there.
  • Hi katehammer,

    This looks like a JS issue. Can you user firebug of chrome inspector, open the console log and reload the page?

    Then report the error(s)

    Thanks
  • Aha! The error was:

    tinyMCE is not defined

    if(tinyMCE != undefined && tinyMCE.settings != undefined)

    I had disabled the visual editor usage for my admin profile.

    So I can easily work around this by re-enabling the visual editor for my admin profile. Thanks much for the quick reply!

  • Thanks for the feedback katehammer,

    I'll do some testing and fix this error

    Cheers
