no visual editor when writing !

I just had this problem crop up in 2.5.
Apparently there was a clash between the editor and one of my plugins, Tiny Search and replace. Once I disabled the plug in, the editor came back. Don’t know if that will help anyone else, or if I’m just lucky ??

Yep, I am having the same problem with 2.5.1. However, it is only with one blog. I have two on the same server, one works great, and the other doesn’t. So this isn’t a browser or computer problem. I have tested this from two different computers with IE and Firefox. No joy.

This problem did not exist with 2.5 and it didn’t happen until this week with 2.5.1. It used to work with 2.5.1.

I am running IIS6. I have re-uploaded all the 2.5.1 files.

Turned off all plug ins, No Joy.

If I turn off Visual Editor, I get the B LINK and the rest of the HTML links. But turn Visual editor back on and no VE.

I am suspecting this is a a db problem rather than a missing .js file or a CHMOD problem. Especially since it was working and then all of a suddenly stopped.

who has used the automatic upgrade plugin for this?

OK HAVE DONE A BIT OF TESTING….

this happens for me ONLY if i use any IE browser.

I have tested within Opera and Firefox both work correctly and as should, both post and upload etc.

In my case it looks like IE is not compatable anymore which is a shame as at work (where i do all my posting)this is all we get to use.

The Configurable Tag Cloud plugin makes the visual editor crash too: the tab remains and it’s highlighted, but the VE is unavailable. Try to deactivate it.

I used WPAU for all my blogs, but few have this problems after I moved it to other server

I got mine working by UN-checking the “Visual Editor” box under “Users”.
Someone had said it had worked for them and sure enough… it’s weird but it worked.

This is what I did to fix mine:

– re-uploaded wp-includes directory
– checked my profile to make sure “Use Visual Editor” box is checked
– re-uploaded/updated Advanced Tiny MCE
– logged out and cleared cleared cache and temporary internet files and then logged back in
– this is what mine looks like now

p.s. some people say that it might be a problem with the WPLANG code–I deleted that from the config.php file.

thanks I had the same problem for the longest time and it was because of my user settings!

thx again!

Hello everyone.

I am currently using 2.6.1 and have also been stumped by the same visual editor problem and tried everything mentioned in these posts to no avail.

My problem turned out to be the Viper Video Quicktag plugin and disabling it wasn’t enough, I had to delete the entire directory for that plugin. Despite being an up-to-date version of the plugin it was definitely conflicting with the WP editing window.

As it turns out, the WP WYSIWYG editor is plenty useful enough anyway.

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions and good luck.

For those who still have problems with Visual Editor not showing: I’ve done some debuging and I’ve found that when post-new.php page tries to load https://www.mysite.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php and https://www.mysite.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php, the server throws a 404 error code (Not Found). If I try to inspect these included files in Firebug (even try to open them directly in a browser) I’ll recieve the typical “This page is not found” with my template, my colours, etc.

These files exists in the requested paths, so I guess there is some bad redirecting when requests come.

If I try this with original Javascript files (with JS extension, not PHP extension), they are opened as expected (prototype.js, for example, is returned fine). The file https://www.mysite.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js is returned OK as well

I’ve tried to insert a .htaccess rule like the following just below the RewriteBase / line (yes, it seems do nothing, only stop processing .htaccess when it is TRUE):

RewriteRule /wp-includes/js/(.*) /wp-includes/js/$1 [l]

But unfortunatelly this not work. I’m sure my problem comes with paths, even this issue appeared suddenly one day without doing any change. Maybe the hosting had done any change, but now it’s impossible to track them back.

Any WordPress / PHP guru can help me? any idea would be appreciated.
