    I did a fresh WP install a few days ago. I only played around with themes and colors so far. Then I wanted to start adding content and noticed that the visual editor is GONE. On new posts as well as new pages.

    I tried with other browsers (flushed cache etc)
    logged in and out of WP several times
    I added this code
    define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to your wp-config.php file
    I added the Use Google Library plugin
    I renamded the plugin folder on ftp
    I reinstalled WP from the dashboard
    I added the Blackstudio tinyMCE plugin
    Tried logged on with a new WP user
    I even sent Reiki to it..but alas…

    >> No change

    I have another WP site that I didn’t upgrade to the latest version yet, and no issue there – so I’m afraid to upgrade it for now.

    What could I be missing?

    First off, go to Users->Your Profile.
    – Make sure that the box marked “Disable the visual editor when writing” at the top of the screen is not checked.
    – If it is checked, then uncheck it and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the “Update Profile” button to save your settings.

    Forgot to mention that I did that already. Thanks though.

    If that setting is correct:
    – Your browser can help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts. Do you have any Javascript errors in the console when looking at the editor page? – This article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.
    – If you use any caching systems, like Cloudflare, clear those caches.
    – Check that the file permissions of all the PHP files are set correct (i.e., 644).
    – Specifically check files like /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php and such.
    – If the permissions are incorrect, then some servers running security code like suhosin won’t allow those files to run.

    thanks for the suggestions

    the file permissions were fine
    I think the server I’m on is fine too because I have another WP running in another folder on the same location that runs a previous WP version, and the visual editor was fine on there

    I did the debug thing and found 4 errors, 2 of which refering to files in this path /wp-includes/js/tinymce

    so I recopied that folder from the fresh WP download I did yesterday and that fixed the problem!

    thanks again!
