@Old Cow, @kbunt, and @Purusothaman,

Thanks for posting about this. The behavior is actually deliberate -- it's kind of a crappy attempt to deal with a crappy situation caused by the interaction between the Visual Editor's assumption that all posts edited in it will be run through WP formatting filters, and FeedWordPress's assumption that syndicated posts arrive in ready-to-display full HTML, without needing to go through formatting filters. I received enough bug reports resulting from this bad interaction that I decided to cut off the Visual Editor for posts syndicated through FWP. (If your Visual Editor is disabled also for posts you create locally -- e.g. by using Post --> Add New -- let me know ASAP; that'd be a bug.) Anyway, the reasons for this, a quick workaround fix for those who need it, and an upcoming solution, are all discussed in this thread here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/feedwordpress-and-wysiwyg

HTH,

Hey all,

So, for reference, this issue should be definitively fixed in the most recent release of FeedWordPress, v. 2012.1212, available now at:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/

Let me know if it fixes the problem you're encountering, or if there are any outstanding issues you're still seeing after making the upgrade.

Thanks,

Yes, definitely; I'll check in in the morning to see if I can reproduce the issue that you're having.

You say that you get a fatal error; could you post the error message you're getting to this thread?

Thanks,

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll take a look at this in the morning. Will post here if I need any further information.

O.K. Could you create a separate thread for that issue, and describe in a bit of detail what you expect to see happen with the dropdown, and what's happening instead? (If you're able to take screenshots that would help somewhat.)

If it's alright with you, I'll mark this request as resolved (for the menu issue which the FWP upgrade has seemingly resolved) and we can troubleshoot issue with the link-category dropdown in the other thread.

Thanks,

If the dev version from Github fixed this issue for you, then you'll be glad to know that the changes made in the recent development-version upgrades are now available in an officially-packaged, just-released version at the WordPress Plugins repository:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feedwordpress/

The newest version is 2012.1212. Let me know if it fixes the problem you're encountering, or if there are any outstanding issues you're still seeing after making the upgrade.
