WP admin: some clicks (e.g. quick edit) do nothing

    When I’m in my WP admin area, I just noticed that some functions aren’t working. For example, if I go to Posts > Quick Edit, clicking on Quick Edit does nothing.

    Also if I’m on a (custom post type) project page and try to add a tag, that also does nothing. Either if I type a tag and click add, or if I click “Choose from the most used tags” — neither does anything.

    I’ve tested multiple browsers.

    I’m using a rather complex commercial theme, and I can’t disable it. My hypothesis is that something with AJAX is screwy. Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot it (short of tearing down the entire theme)?

    This used to work…I have no idea what caused it to stop working.

    Woah — I solved that one myself quickly. Sorry for cluttering stuff up here.

    I had disabled Heartbeat in my functions.php file (to lower CPU use). That was causing certain backend functions to stop working. I removed the disabling, and was immediately able to do all those things again.
