Quicktags Buttons Not Appearing

  • I’m hoping someone here can help me. Thanks in advance.

    My quicktag buttons have never appeared on the Write page in my installation of WordPress… I see the link that says “Quicktags” but that just takes me to Quicktags help.

    There really isn’t anything more to the problem. I have both quicktags.php and quicktags.js installed and haven’t touched them or anything to do with them. I’ve searched here and Google and seen that at least one other person has had this problem, but I haven’t been able to find a solution.

    Thanks.

    by the way, just tested it in IE and same problem occurs. cheers.

    Same here – I get that sometimes, and I have modified the js file.
    I just CRTL-F5 and regard it as an annoyance to be honest, as it usually happens after I’ve run either CrapCleaner or a registry cleaner.

    Bizarre.

    The thing is, the buttons have never shown up since I installed WordPress. And CTRL-F5 is of no help either.

    Alas. Luckily I still remember my HTML.

    Have you uploaded new copies of the quicktag.php and quicktag.js files? Have you looked at them to verify that something is not actually missing? Perhaps something happened when you first did the intial upload.

    NM… Thanks. I won’t go into the gory details, but your response spurred me to look at some things I hadn’t thought to look at… I haven’t gotten it fixed yet, but I need to try a few more things and I’m hopeful. I think I was being a bit of a space cadet. I’ll come back and bug you if I’m still not successful.

    Thanks a bunch.

    While you’re at it, make sure that you have javascript enabled in your browser(s).

    I have the same problem (OS X/ Safari). Besides, I don’t even have the word “Quicktags” anywhere on the page. I also checked the files in the downloaded package and I did not find “quicktag.php” in neither -zip nore -gz version of it.

    Same for me. I can’t see the quicktags at all ! (OSX / safari). I have a quicktags.js file, but no quicktag.php. This thread stops a month ago… Anyone solved the problem ?

    If you’re having problems with displaying quicktag buttons in Safari, read this FAQ:

    Thanks ! Could not find the answer in the codex, but it was there…

    i have the same problem :(… i don’t now what to do…

    I am also facing the same issue in my wordpress blog admin since I have started my blog. I am running this on FireFox1 mainly, but quicktags dont appear in IE6 as well. All I am seeing is the link ‘quicktags’ which takes me to the quicktags help page.

    Strangely, I have another wordpress blog where it displays the quicktags buttons and they work well! Are there any blog specific configurations which let you turn this on/off?

    Note that I haven’t touched any code for quicktags or anything else in both cases. Kindly help.

    I had this problem briefly but reading this thread reminded me that I had JavaScript turned off for testing – as soon as I turned JavaScript back on, the buttons re-appeared (d’oh! – thanks MacManX!)
