Lost my text formatting tools

  • Hi guys

    I have updated my WP to 2.8 today. When I try to edit or add new posts i get the usual text editor but the existing posts is only shown with white text color on a white background in HTML, so I can only see it if I mark everything. If activate “Visual” I get the HTML formatted post shown and the text editor-bar is missing.

    How can I resolve this?

    Please see this picture for an visual explanation of the problem:

    There are several things to try to troubleshoot this:

    • delete or refresh the browser cache
    • if using Gears, disable it and re-enable it again
    • delete wp-admin and wp-includes directories and upload fresh copies from a new(important) install package or reinstall automatically
    • go to https://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php and look for any PHP errors or warnings at the top. If there are any try contacting your hosting provider to resolve them or try the next step
    • add define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); near the top of wp-config.php. That would make WordPress admin run slower, so can try removing it in a few days and testing again (this would eliminate any stale network cache)

    Definitely disable the “Use Google Libraries” plugin if you are using it.

    What finally worked after playing around with restarting, clearing my cache, etc is “disabling Gears” I removed that in my Firefox and everything came back as normal. ??

    Adding define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); to wp-config.php worked for me. I will try removing it in a few days as advised.

    Hey Everyone,
    This is Tom from https://www.Tomsgurureview.com This is usually caused by a caching problem. The easy solution is to Press Ctrl-F5 at the same time. If that doesnt work, go to >Tools>upgrade>reinstall automatically Then when you go to post a new message Click ctrl-F5 and presto. Hope this helps my peeps!

    the clearing of cache files etc didn’t work for me (firefox, opera or konqueror). neither did the reinstall from within wordpress.
    i had to delete wp-admin & wp-includes and upload fresh versions from the zip.

    I don’t know why but for some reason the new install doesn’t overwrite tinyMCE file properly.

    Here is how to fix it.

    1. download wordpress 2.8 from www.ads-software.com and unzip
    2. find wp-includes/js/tinymce
    3. in your website’s root directory find wp-includes/jc/tinymce
    4. delete this file and replace with the new one

    The only thing that worked for me was adding

    define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );

    Tried everything else, but that’s what worked.

    Got the same problem. But in my case is was about .htaccess restrictions that didn’t let wp-tinymce.php launch.
    Adding “tinymce.php” to allowed files list solves the problem.

    Can someone please tell me what possible reason wp has for screwing around with our code?!!

    Why can it not just leave us the hell alone, and make wp do as its bloody well told.

    Reeeaallly frustrated and annoyed.

    Tony
