Media Icons and text not showing

[kmcmean]

Hi
I have upgraded to the latest version of WP and noticed that I can no longer see the formatting icons or the text in the visual tab on either pages or posts.
Is this something anyone else has experienced?
I have disabled all my plugins but no change. I activated the 2012 theme in WP and everything went back to normal, with and without the plugins disabled. So this just leaves the Swagger Theme causing the problem

Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks

Hello,

Yeah, it some kind of fluke thing that happens with updated scripts in WP 3.5 with about 3-4 people total and I’ve never been able to figure out exactly why, as I’ve never been able to re-produce the issue. You can get around it by just turning off the theme’s shortcode generator button.

Open up /framework/themeblvd.php of the theme and find line 49:

require_once( TB_FRAMEWORK_URL . '/shortcodes/tinymce/tinymce_shortcodes.php' );

And just comment it out like this:

// require_once( TB_FRAMEWORK_URL . '/shortcodes/tinymce/tinymce_shortcodes.php' );

Let me know if that doesn’t fix the issue for you.

Hi Jason
Yeah its worked a treat thanks.

Will commenting out the shortcode stop the theme from doing anything else?

Thanks

Nope, it just removes the little button added to the visual editor to insert shortcodes. No other functionality will be lost. You can still use all shortcodes as normal, which you can find usage examples for on the live demo at Features > Shortcodes from the main menu.

Hi Just updates to the latest version and the same thing happened, the formatting icons bar are missing on posts and pages. I tried your fix above but the line // require_once( TB_FRAMEWORK_URL . ‘/shortcodes/tinymce/tinymce_shortcodes.php’ ); isn’t there anymore.
Not sure what to do?

Plus the theme is making the site run really slowly, sometime it won’t load at all, the front end is fine but the back office is really bad, even if I deactivate all the plugins. I know its the theme because it doesn’t happen when I switch on the included WP theme everything is back to normal.

Hello,

So, now there’s an option where you can simply turn off the functionality. In your WordPress admin, go to Settings > Writing > Theme Blvd Shortcodes, and you will find an option to disable the shortcode generator. This will accomplish the same thing as you were previously doing by commenting out that line.

I’m sorry to hear that. Honestly though not much has changed on the backend of the theme that would effect site speed. Some functionality has been moved to plugins and styled to look a little nicer and javascript tweaks for things like slider manager, builder manager, etc, but nothing in terms of things that would be eating up server resources have really changed.

The theme isn’t really even including much on random pages of the admin panel. Are there some pages of your admin that are slower than others, or that you’re specifically having problems? For example, I could see your Edit Post/Page screen obviously coming up very slow while it’s trying to work out your server conflict with the Shortcode generator.

Thanks for the quick reply the shortcode generator worked, thanks 😉

I have tried the site after the fix above and it still runs painfully slow. The site has moved to a new server, do you think that could be the problem?

I get a lot of support here, but honestly I’ve never had complaints on any theme about the admin panel running slow; so that’s sort of strange. Are you on a shared hosting account? If so, that can always definitely be a factor.
