Editor Broken after update to 5.1

    After updating to 5.1, only the text editor is available. Clicking the tab for visual editor doesn’t do anything. Also the formatting buttons are missing.

    I have tried switching to a default theme and deactivating ALL plugins. Problem still persists.

    There are multiple javascript errors visible in console:

    Sounds like the update didn’t complete. Is the update available button still there?

    Do you have a backup you could reinstall?

    Can you use the reinstall button from the update dashboard?

    I just reinstalled WP via the reinstall button from the update dashboard, but still broken.

    I”m a “me too” on this issue. I had to roll back to 5.0.3 via a backup and it was OK again.

    I set up a staging version of my client’s site to test things out, and sure enough, even with all plugins disabled and the Twenty Thirteen theme installed, if I go to 5.1, the editor breaks. On the Visual tab, it appears to be blank, but is actual white HTML on a white background. There is no visual preview. On the Text tab… well, I am unable to switch to it.

    Here’s my site under WP 5.1 (I’ve highlighted some text in the editor):

    Hope there is a solution as I’m out of ideas!

    Whoops, reading the guideline for issues with 5.1, I see it’s recommended I start a new post even if it’s the same issue, so answers can be tailored to my specific setup. I’ll do so. Thanks!

    I’m having the exact same issue after upgrading to ver 5.1

    searching the internet for help but nothing yet.

    Adding this to config.php fixed the problem for us:

    define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
