sudden disappear of visual editor

No, this didn’t work either.
I’ve reloaded that folder, but to the same place wp-includes\js\tinymce\
Should I move it to another location? Is that what you did bobbr

Here’s something interesting though, the editor on this screen here is also code, not visual. Is that the case for everyone?

there should be two tabs, one for Visual, one for Code

I belive this is Hosting server problem since i tried with other hosting company my editor works .

when i installed new wp in the old account( where i had problem for editor )new wp also show’s with out visual editor .

If you have old copy of 2.0.9 data base you can downgrade if you don’t you can’t .

Hmmm, only started with WP a couple of weeks ago with 2.1.1 which has now been declared dangerous. There must be a way out of this, short of switching hosts?

I’m in the same boat. I suppose I could start fresh on 2.0.9 but I’d rather not.

Can you downgrade from 2.1.2 to 2.0. If so how? I don’t have it on my computer as I only started with WP a couple weeks ago with 2.1.1

My visual editor vanished yesterday. I’ve tried toggling both the global and user-specific settings, with no luck in restoring it. I’m running 2.0.7 and haven’t made any recent changes to version, plugins, themes, etc. It just went away. ??

Update: I’ve tried repairing the database tables and also deactivating plugins with no luck. I logged into an existing user account (non-admin) and he doesn’t have access to the visual editor either.

I saw another thread on a similar topic where it was suggested to change permissions on the wp-includes directory. If I can figure out how to do that, I’ll give it a shot.

For whatever it’s worth, I’m hosted on Media Temple and have a few sporadic mySQL issues over the last few months.

Update 2: After not working in Firefox and Safari, I hopped onto Windows and loaded up WordPress in IE7. The visual editor was there. I returned to the Mac (and FF) and it was still missing, so I cleared the cache and there it was. All told, it was down about 24 hours. Not sure what triggered it, or what made it return. It’s a little disconcerting, as I’ve never see this sort of random behavior in 18+ months on WP.

I was havining the same problem. No visual editor in FF or IE for admin, editor or writer. I reloaded the wp_includes files and logged on. Nothing changed then I hit control + F5 to refresh and low and behold there the little buggers were.

Happy days!

I had the same problem. I managed to solve it by first, disabling the use visual editor in my user options. I then deleted the wp-includes file totally. I got the newest wp-includes folder from a fresh zip of WP and uploaded this. Then went back to my user options and enabled the editor. It looks fine for me. This works in FF 1.5 just fine

Hi all,

Before you conclude you have encountered THIS problem discussed on THIS thread, please make sure it is not just caused by your browsers local cache!

Clear the browser cache or reload the edit page with Ctrl+F5 to force your browser to reload all the WP/TinyMCE files that are needed for the RTE to work.

But if the problem remains, even after disabling all plugins… You’ve got the bug ??

I’m having the same problem, and the worst part about it is that it isn’t consistent. But I think I’ve managed to narrow the problem down to a plugin containing the following relatively simple PHP code:

function post_link_to($permalink) {
  if (function_exists('c2c_get_custom')) {
    $link_to = c2c_get_custom('link_to');
    if ($link_to) return $link_to;
  }

  return $permalink;
} // au_post_link_to

add_action('the_permalink', 'post_link_to', 20);

Any help or idea of why this plugin destroys the visual editor is highly appreciated.

Hm. I can get the Visual Editor to return — but only by using the Ctrl-F5 refresh each time I enter the editor. Problem exists on both sites on the server. But only in Firefox — IE7 works fine.

Here’s another tidbit for the puzzlers — I’m running the sites on a Windows 2003 server, and using PHP5 under them. How many of you are too?

I have the same problem. Tried everything mentioned in this topic without any success.

Running: PHP Version 5.2.1

What does your tiny_mce_gzip.php?ver=20061113
look like when viewing it in the browser?

I get a warning like this:
