I had a problem with the WordPress visual editor in Firefox but not IE. Namely I wasn’t able to add links, images or categories. When I clicked the link button, the box which popped up was empty; same with the image box. Categories just wouldn’t be added. As it turns out I’m not the only one that experienced this issue.
The problem is a hosting one, not a browser one (thankfully). In hopes that it will help others, here is how I fixed it after referring to this support topic:
- Login to your hosting account and find your MySQL Databases (or something along those lines).
- Use phpMyAdmin to get to your wp_options table.
- Browse the table and find the entry with an option_name of siteurl.
- Add “www.” to your site URL. (instead of http://nameofsite.com make it http://www.nameofsite.com)
- Save it and you’re done.
This worked for me and it should work for you. If it doesn’t, keep search the tubes, the truth is out there.
