Two of my sites use TinyMCE as the editor. When creating a new page on one site using version 1.3.5, the Format dropdown menu includes choices for Fonts, Font Sizes, Line Height, Text color, and Background color. On the other site using version 1.4.0, these options are missing. I read online that the makers of TinyMCE had deliberately removed these and were encouraging programmers to provide custom code tailored to their users. Is that true, and are these options deliberately missing in the newer versions?

Thanks! The site was on PHP 7.0. With assistance from my hosting provider, I updated to PHP 7.4 and now I have access to the site again. No database re-import required.

Locked out of site after updating modules
The best you can do is test and report. If you find a contrib that doesn't work in php 8.3, create an issue in its queue so it gets fixed. In my experience, I've found that 7.4 is safest...

Hi argiepiano, Some contrib will not work in php 7.2 or lower, and some will not on PHP 8.1 or higher. Is there a way to find out which is the optimal PHP version for a...

This sounds like a combination of a buggy module and the "wrong" version of PHP. The fact that you are being redirected to the maintenance page may be an indication that your site was put on...

After further checking around, @stpaultim helped me compare his TinyMCE editor install with mine. We were both using version 1.4.0, but his site had all the options that my site was missing. After comparing formatting settings for both sites, we discovered on the Filtered HTML settings, the site that was working had "limit allowed HTML tabs" turned off, and the non-working site had that option turned on. So this turned out to be a configuration issue with "Text editors and formats". Turning the option OFF, fixed the "problem".
@Viki - Thanks for sharing this information. I am willing to bet that others will have this same problem and your information could be very helpful to them.
(great work @timstpaul, you are quite the hero!)
@Vicki,
Would you consider prepending "SOLVED:" to the original post title to help people in the future searching for an answer to this problem?
