Additional comments

Happens when any editor is selected

Editing /plugins/editors-xtd/paytoreadmore/paytoreadmore.php

Commenting out this function resolves the issue: function onDisplay($name){...}

[HLeithner]

This seems to be a 3rd party extension and not core related, please contact the vendor to solve this issue.

For a quick fix you can disable the editor plugin with this function.

I'm closing this as not a core issue.
