 * Hey, with the 4.4.1 WP version I’m not able to edit my posts. There is just white
   blank input field. On the website the post is OK with text.
    I disabled all of
   the plugins and it is caused with ThirstyAffiliates (2.6.1). I also tried to 
   change the theme but the problem persists.

 * Hi jackoneill,
 * What version of PHP are you using on your server? This sounds like it could be
   a PHP error as I’m not able to reproduce this on PHP 5.4+
 * If you can post the error here and I’ll take a look.
 * Cheers,
    Josh

 * Hey jkohlbach
 * I use PHP 5.4.
 * This is when the plugin is active
    [http://pasteboard.co/1hhfMe82.jpg](http://pasteboard.co/1hhfMe82.jpg)
 * and when it’s deactivated

 * Hey jackoneill,
 * Thanks for that. Looks like it might be a JS error on the page.
 * If you enable the plugin, then goto your editor like in the screenshot, right
   click somewhere on the page and click Inspect (Chrome/Firefox/Safari will have
   this).
 * You will then see a window, click on the Console tab and see if there are any
   errors there. Paste them here if you can.
 * This is sounding like it’s a JS error based on a conflict with either the theme
   or another plugin.
 * Cheers,
    Josh

 * Yes, it looks like that. But for example these are the files on ftp
    [http://pasteboard.co/1izbh9cY.jpg](http://pasteboard.co/1izbh9cY.jpg)
 * Should I reinstall it? I’m not able to export settings, after clicking on export
   in settings, there is no code to copy. So after reinstall I would have to edit
   all of the links manually again?

 * Hi jackoneill,
 * You should be fine to re-install it.
 * But can I ask, are your permissions set properly on your wp-content and wp-content/
   plugins folders and files?
 * Could be different for your server, but generally speaking you should have:
 * Directories: 755
    Files: 644
 * And the user and group owner should be the same as the WordPress core files.
 * Sometimes this can get messed up if the FTP user isn’t the same user/group that
   owns the rest of the files and then you can get all sorts of crazy things happening.
 * See if deactivating, deleting and reinstalling ThirstyAffiliates via the WordPress
   plugin area in your dashboard helps. Your links will remain in the database.

 * That’s weird…
    I deactivated the plugin, uninstalled and installed again and 
   the problem still remains. My permissions are 755 for directories and 644 for
   files.

 * Hi jackoneill,
 * Any different between the file owners of this and other files throughout the 
   system?
 * Basically the web server can’t read those files which is why it can’t be included.
 * Eg. it thinks this file doesn’t exist ([http://travelsurfrepeat.com/cs/wp-content/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/js/thirstyPickerHelper.js](http://travelsurfrepeat.com/cs/wp-content/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/js/thirstyPickerHelper.js))
   when, if you have your plugin installed, should be there.
 * Might be worth talking to your host if the problem continues as this could be
   happening to other plugins too!
 * Cheers,
    Josh
