Can’t disable rich editor–both boxes UNCHECKED

    I’ve dug through Google and the forum search as much as I can. If I’ve missed something helpful, please tell me. I have already unchecked “Use the visual rich editor when writing” under Users –> Your Profile AND “Users should use the visual rich editor by default” under Options –> Writing.

    I have cleared my cache and reloaded; that didn’t help. I’m using Firefox on a Windows machine but I’ve checked it on other machines and I have the same problem.

    I also tried installing the TextControl plug-in but that didn’t seem to change anything either.

    It’s really frustrating! Please help if you can. Thanks!

  • Could you put a screen-shot up of the editor you’re seeing and drop a link here to it?

    Which WP version are you using?

    I’m using 2.0.4. Here’s what it looks like:

    (sorry about the artifacts, but I figure it doesn’t matter.)

    We disabled it briefly by killing the code in tinymce.js, and then I was able to post the Google widget in the page that I was trying to post it in.

    Feel free to let me know if I’m on crack. ??

    Well, that’s tinyMCE alright, but not the one that ships with WP 2.x. There’s extra stuff.

    Running any “enhanced editor” plugins?

    Please hold while I confirm that I am, in fact, an idiot.

    ROFLMAO! Not laughing at your misfortune, but that one line reply sums up so many of my past days… ??

    Yep! I’m an idiot! I forgot that I installed and never used WYSI-Wordpress way back when a non-HTML-enabled classmate was supposed to be helping me on the project. Thanks and my very sheepish apologies.

    For some reason I just didn’t notice that one in my plugin list when I checked it for potential problem sources earlier, maybe because it’s at the bottom. Next time I have a mysterious problem I’ll turn off each plugin one at a time just to be sure.

    Thanks again for your patience and good humor!
