I have this same problem but don’t even have a link to click to create new posts. All I have are profile and tools
it appears as if the entire center column is missing from wordpress on the edit or create new posts pages..
i tried to install a brand new wordpress installation on a different web domain, using install 2.7.1, and even on that domain i can’t seem to create or edit posts.
i can view the list of posts that are already created but when i go to edit those posts or create a new post the center column {where the text/html/visual editor window should appear} nothing loads up.
well i downgraded back to wordpress 2.65 and now i can successfully edit my posts and create new posts.
this makes me feel that there’s some file/folder that needs to be deleted when upgrading to 2.7.1 that for some reason hides the post editor.
this issue is clearly not resolved, but i did find a work around by going back to an older build of wordpress. if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this {i’d love to upgrade if i could} i appreciate it in advance.
I am still having this issue. Really don’t want to have to downgrade. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
sorry thomas – i haven’t been able to really spend time to see if i can trouble shoot the problem.
it’s weird because it happened in both a brand new fresh install of 2.7.1 on a separate domain with a separate and brand new database…
you wouldn’t happen to use 1and1 to host your domain would you? maybe it’s something on their end?
all i know is that rolling back to 2.6.5 works and that’s good enough for me as i need to post four or five days every week to maintain a healthy site. hopefully i’ll be able to upgrade later on, maybe wait until 2.7.2 or later, as the new interface is much cleaner and much more intuitive.
i use 1and1 and i am have this problem,
my friend using linux and firefox 3 has no problem, i am using winxp firefox 3 and i cant, i think its a javascript error. I tried using Chrome and IE with no luck. I was on a Mac and safari didnt work.
If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know/
i haven’t had the chance to try to dig through this problem any further… it might be something that 1and1 inherently has on their end of the table. i know that included in their website development kit is a stripped down version of a wordpress… i of course don’t use it and have never played around with it, but i wonder if there’s something stuck on my domain, etc., that is causing this conflict.
no matter which domain i use or what database i use, 4.0 or 5.0, existing or brand new, i can’t get the center column in the wordpress interface to show up when i go to edit posts or create new posts.
the only solution i’ve found for this is rolling back your installation to 2.6.5 {other versions may work as well, but 2.6.5 was the first version that i arbitrarily tried and it worked so i didn’t mess with it anymore}
