I upgraded a customer installation from 1.31 to 2.03. Using IE8 and Firefox 3.6 on my local machine, as well as with remote access on Safari 4.04 on Mac, I'm unable to paste. The dialog popup box pops up, I paste text into it, the pasted text appears in the box. Clicking "insert" removes the text from the dialog box and leaves the editor window blank.

I have not modified the wysiwyg.php file.

Any ideas as to what I should check for?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Deborah,

Can you try refreshing the page in your browser and/or clearing your cache and let me know if the issue persists?

Sometimes after an upgrade the browser caching the old javascript files for a little while.

Let me know what happens.

Or feel free to email CMS & FTP login details (and a link to this thread) to dave@interactivetools.com and I can take a look.

Note: Email, don't post login details to the forum.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

The issue here was with cache files that are created by the wysiwyg editor. Sometimes when you upgrade, these files don't get changed. They are located in the data folder in your cms admin folder. They are .zip files that begin with tiny_mce_. You can just delete these. The next time you use the editor, it will automatically create a new one

Hope this helps
