 * Hi Guys,
 * A few weeks ago my write post/page went funny in IE7 and I thought that maybe
   it was a bug, then it failed in FF3.. Basically in IE7 if I create a post it 
   says
 * > “Your attempt to edit this post: “post name” has failed.
   > Please try again.
 * But it places the post into the drafts.
 * This has now started happening in FF3 aswell and on closer inspection on IE7 
   I see an error.. heres the error:
 * > Line: 4
   >  Char: 1 Error: Syntax error Code: 0 URL: [http://www.xboxer360.com/wp-admin/post-new.php](http://www.xboxer360.com/wp-admin/post-new.php)
 * Upon further inspection within that php file I see nothing wrong with this code:
 * `$parent_file = 'post-new.php';`
 * Now something tells me this is a TinyMCE issue as none of my buttons on the wysiwyg
   are the style they were before and the HTML / VISUAL have ceased to work. I need
   a fix for this and I really don’t know where to start!
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * It sounds like an incomplete or mixed installation. I would recommend you delete
   everything except your themes, plugins, htaccess, and similar, and completely
   re-upload your wordpress isntallation.
 * (oh, take a backup copy of your files first, just in case, okay?)

 * Ive fixed it by following these guidelines:
 * > For others coming across the same error with version 2.51,
   > Edit the following file: yoursite/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
   > First, comment out (by instering // before the code) while ( @ob_end_clean());
   > at around line 13. It is immediately preceded by // Discard any buffers
   > Then, search for “compress” until you find ‘compress’ => true and change the“
   > true” to “false.
   > If you have the same problem with version 2.5, you only need to worry about
   > the compression setting.

 * G’day, is there any way that I can resolve this problem from my PC at home? or
   do I need my web hosting company to do it for me.
    As you can probably already
   guess I have no clue as to what you guys are talking about but I do know this–
   I no longer can edit my web page and the ‘visual editor’ has gone, I get the ‘
   tinymce error. I posted before and managed to find a workaround but it no longer
   seems to work. I have tried ff and 1e7 but both give the same result. [xs650head@hotmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-issue/xs650head@hotmail.com?output_format=md)

 * acheashadow’s trick also worked for me on WordPress 2.6.5.
 * I should note that this problem appears to be caused by a combination of issues
   in the TinyMCE code AND the behavior of modern browsers, so if you come across
   this page, keep that in mind as you are troubleshooting!
