Visual Editor Missing

    When creating or editing a post the tabs for visual editor and HTML are missing. It is stuck in HTML mode. How do I get it back. FYI, the same is happening when I try to edit a page.

    Also I inserted a link in my latest post to link to a previous post. It is supposed to be right at the top. It is not showing. I inserted the link while in HTML mode (because I couldn’t get out of it) and it is not showing in my post.

    Can someone help me figure out what is going on. Thank you.

  • Have you tried:
    – deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). Don’t forget the ones in mu-plugins. If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    I deactivated all my plug-ins. I can’t see that I have any mu-plugins. No folder that I can see anyway. This did not work.

    oops – sorry. No that didn’t work either.

    Check to make sure java is running.

    Errors on the backside are almost always caused by javascript problems either corrupted files or script conflicts.

    You can also update wp which reloads the files, using dashboard/updates.

    PS. I use the same seed starter :^)

    Java seems to be working. When I went to that page it said to install something or other for Javascript (sorry should have paid more attention) but after that it appeared it was working.

    I reinstalled WP.

    No luck so far. I restarted Firefox after each install. (I also tried in EI but doesn’t work there either.)

    ?? for your seed starter. I can’t wait for a little warmer weather.

    You are not going to believe this. I went into my profile area and there was a box that somehow got checked that said “disable visual editor when writing.” Unchecked it and tada, it worked.

    You are not going to believe this.

    Yes, I believe it. Sounds exactly like something that would happen to me. Glad you are up and running.
