WordPress opening post-new.php popup problems


I am having severe problems with one WordPress installation on my server.

When I try to write a new entry or page, or edit an existing one, I get the following pop-up dialogue box:

opening post-new.php popup dialogue box

The WordPress forums suggest it is a problem with the memory limit in php.ini.

I am not convinced. The memory_limit in php.ini is set to 32Mbytes for my entire server.

I suspect an error in the database is causing a memory leak or something. All other WordPress installations on the same server work fine.

Downloading the entire database with phpmyadmin, I find the following lines:

INSERT INTO wp_cat2syn (cat_id, language_id, synonym, sanitised, description) VALUES (1, 1, 'News', 'news', ''), (1, 2, 'Nouvelles', 'nouvelles', ''), (0, 1, '', '', ''), (0, 2, 'LE CONTE', 'le-conte', '');

Note that I am using Gengo on this blog, hence the extra fields for language_id and synonym.

I removed all the cat_id=0 entries, and also all the drafts in the wp-posts table.

Success – but only partial!

I no longer have the pop-up, but when I try to entry a post, it doesn’t appear on the database or on the website.

For the moment, I give up. More later
