Thanks Rod. That is a really useful guide for the people who seldom tread in these areas.

Hi Ben,
Just done that. Replaced the one file and set the menu back to URL & galleries/ and back to normal thanks.

Will do Ben.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for replying to this.
I looked at file permissions in my CE4 instance and they are working with less permissions than I had to set for Backlight.
I decided to delete the BL instance from the server but for some reason Filezilla is unable to delete the installation so I renamed that instance and created a new installation.

Before making any changes to folder permissions I tried to access the Admin console. I then incremented the permissions to 775 with the same error then set the permissions to backlight/data to 777 and backlight/galleries to 777 and got the admin console.
Initial login attempt
mkdir(): Permission denied|#0 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/framework/helpers/GenericApplicationHelper.php(144): ErrorHandler::handleError('../framework/.....') #1 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/framework/helpers/AuthHelper.php(59): GenericApplicationHelper::makeDataDirectoryIfNeeded('../framework/.....') #2 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/framework/init.php(120): AuthHelper::handleSession() #3 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/admin/index.php(17): require_once('/hsphere/local/...') #4 {main}|URL: /test/backlight/admin/index.php

After setting data and galleries folders to 775
mkdir(): Permission denied|#0 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/framework/helpers/GenericApplicationHelper.php(144): ErrorHandler::handleError('../framework/.....') #1 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/framework/helpers/AuthHelper.php(59): GenericApplicationHelper::makeDataDirectoryIfNeeded('../framework/.....') #2 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/framework/init.php(120): AuthHelper::handleSession() #3 /hsphere/local/home/t23728/tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/test/backlight/admin/index.php(17): require_once('/hsphere/local/...') #4 {main}|URL: /test/backlight/admin/index.php

Once logged in with the default credentials I changed and saved the basic first screen without an error this time.
I then went on to create a few extra pages without entering any content and they saved OK.
I navigated back to the Designer menu and bingo error message
[http://tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/Screen% … .16.30.png]

I can check with the ISP about my permissions but all the previous CE4 stuff worked OK under the tomowens.openpoint.co.uk domain.

I've just got to nip out back in 45 minutes or so. If I do not a sensible answer from my ISP, I'll email my FTP credentials. Incidentally in the meantime the guest access for this instance is the same as I mailed you yesterday.

Hi Rod,
All I managed to do was change the default values on first entering the admin console. The error came up on the first save, so this the 'norm' for me as I have not experienced any other state. I had held back from installing whilst I read everyone elses posts so thought it was safe to do mine!
The Backlight instance sits at http://tomowens.openpoint.co.uk/new as my CE4 instance sits one level above. From what I have read, that would appear to be an OK place to put my dev version.
Hope you are well away from the wild fires?

Hi,
I thought I'd let you know that with WP4.3.1 the visual  editor came back to life. I had forgotten how long ago I posted the original question but Ipromised to let you know if things changed.

I have now done the same. Updated the phplugins.php with daniel's extra bit of code, commented out the custom.css and made the changes that Michael made to turn off the pop up and bar after accepting. Now I know it is working I am happy with the pop-up and bar behaving this way.
All in all a satisfactory outcome.

TomO
