Simple shortcodes conflict - Visual Editor not loading
My visual has not worked for quite some time. I can't seem to pinpoint the problem. Here is the error code I am getting when I hit f12 while editing a post:

I am using the element theme. It happens in both Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
I think there was a corrupt file somewhere. I rebuilt the site in another folder. Deleted the existing. Set everything back over via FTP and all is good now. I suspect a caching plug in may have corrupted some files somewhere.
I'm also having the same problem - but with Lightfast.
I've deactivated all my plugins and reinstated them one-by-one to see which one was causing the problem and it's Simple Shortcodes.

Okay - this is a warning to Plesk users.
I've resolved the problem of a blank Visual tab in the post editor by disabling Plesk's protection of the wp-content folder in the Check Wordpress Security pop-up.
I'm afraid it looks as if Simple Shortcodes isn't compatible with Plesk's Wordpress security hardening.

Thanks for letting me know. What is your hosting vendor?
Do you happen to know of any documentation for the security hardening feature?

Hi - I don't believe this is a specific host issue - it's going to be a problem on any platform using Plesk.
Here's the documentation for the features concerned:
http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-administrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=73563.htm
This is probably the most relevant part of that page:
There is a PHP script that is called via Javascript from the editor - I believe that Plesk is preventing direct calls to PHP scripts within the wp-content folder when that check is enabled.

This is probably the most relevant part of that page:
The wp-content folder. The wp-content directory may contain insecure PHP files that can be used to damage your site. After WordPress installation, PHP files can be executed from the wp-content directory. The security check verifies that the execution of PHP files in the wp-content directory is forbidden.

Hi,
I too am having this problem. I'm using Synapse theme.
In Firefox when I do Tools > Web Developer > Web Console, on the .JS tab it says:
"Failed to load: [my url]/wp-content/plugins/smpl-shortcodes/includes/admin/generator/editor_plugin_mce_v4.php" tinymce.min.js:4:9803
I tried to deactivate the plug-in but it won't stick, it keeps stuck in active mode.
What is the best way to remove this plugin and reinstall a fresh version? Or is there another issue should try to troubleshoot?
Thanks!

Hi, I've pushed up an update v.1.0.20. Could you download the latest and let me know if this fixed the issue?
Your update fixed the problem! I can see the visual editor again. Thanks!
