Ever since WordPress 4.8 was introduced, I have had serious problems. One with memory being clogged. The second with wordpress’s visual editor going walkies. As one of the best retorts on the WP Forums said (and you could hear the sheer frustration -) the best fix for wordpress 4.8, is wordpress 4.7 🙂

The forums are vague on this. There doesn’t seem to be one answer. I have done everything they recommended, but nada.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I checked each and every php file. In the auto ugrade process, many of them have gotten corrupted. Replaced each of them manually.
