I’m having exactly the same problem – on 3 client sites, but none of the 50+ others I manage. I don’t understand why, but I am seeing a ton of jquery errors on those broken editor pages.
Followup – on those 3 sites, updating a plugin (any plugin) always fixed the problem. I guess it’s the plugin devs getting the jQuery issues taken care of…
Good to know I’m not alone, though “updating a plugin (any plugin)” didn’t fix it for me on one out of two sites I tried it on.
On one of mine, it was the Divi theme update that fixed it.
Hi
Just wanted to add
I run 4 wordpress site all on completely different hosting platforms and have had the same issue come up on 3 of them, stand out one is the media library not loading in thumbnail view, the loading icon just spins and nothing happens although if I select list view it loads fine.
At first I thought it had something to do with jetpack as its only with this plugin activated that the issue starts but know I’m not sure.
Thanks for helping confirm an issue.
I can say the problem still persists even in version 4.7.2
What’s really weird about this is is that even when I deactivate all plugins and switch to twentysixteen to rule out a possible theme/plugin conflict, the problem is still there.
I think we can assume that 4.7 is working ok on the whole – I see it working fine for some sites using any number of plugins and different themes.
I wonder if there is something with the update process causing an issue. Fundamentally it looks like its a call for jQuery that’s the problem. I have thought that it could be a browser caching issue – an old call for jQuery lingering somewhere. I have tried clearing the browser cache on one site, but that didn’t help.
Still holding back updating a lot of sites because of this.
