Everything is possible, especialy when IE is involved. Can you tell what exactly did you do by “configuring”? Also, can we have a real link instead of the one in your name that takes me to a non-WP site?
By configuring I just meant changing the options (title, etc.) and playing with the colors of the basic template. Nothing HTML changed. I’ve not added in any plug-ins, or changed any coding. I’m new to Word Press, so just feeling it out some.
My blog addy is http://stitchinspiration.com/SiSBlog/, but it just has the generic “Hello World” post, since I can’t even change that one.
I see. And if you try in another browser to get into admin and write a post does it work? Are the other admin panels working fine, just the Write Post doesn’t work?
I’d try emptying the cache folder under wp-content AND uploading a fresh copy of the wp-admin folder: sometimes files get corrupted during download/unzip/upload.
Another option would be to give your access info to a trustworthy person and see if s/he can write a post, which would point toward something wrong in your browser 🙂
Yes, just the Write Post doesn’t work, and all the others seem to work just fine.
I’ve emptied the cache, and uploaded a downloaded wp-admin folder. I installed this through my web host, so originally had not had to set it up myself.
I deleted the blog, and had the service reinstall it again.
I need to get on the other computer to see if it’s doing the same thing.
How frustrating can this be?
I am experiencing the exact same problem. I just recently upgraded to the newest version of WordPress. Previous version worked just fine.
I can pull up the dashboard, but once I head over to write something, IE crashes.
Using another computer I could get to the write section just fine and create posts. But on my primary computer I can’t. It seems obvious that the problem is with my primary computer/IE.
What are some possible causes of this? What setting should I be looking at in IE that would be different from one computer to the next?
Thanks.
I had the same problem. A bit of investigation suggests that the cause is the WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE), and that in turn is because some recent patches to IE have affected it somehow.
So the only solution at the moment, for IE, is to turn off the rich text editor if you are getting the crash, as there’s nothing you can do to stop it happening. Since it’s an IE/TinyMCE problem rather than WordPress, a long-term fix will have to come from one of those two camps.
