Unable to edit posts & pages

    I have read posts on here about this topic already and tried everything I could find. I have a post due this Monday. This is mission critical, please help. Thank you

    When ever I go into edit an existing page the editor menu is not there, the text is white on white (if you click and highlight you can see it and it’s all in html), I am unable to select anything that uses Ajax apparently. For example: The screen options slide out, doesn’t work. The menu options (left hand side) don’t slide out when you click on the up/down arrow. Finally nothing happen when you select the HTML tab.

    Here’s what I have Already tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems. (even updated my theme to the latest version)

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin (I DID BOTH)

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress

    All of that with no change.

    My site is Etch App Reviews

    UPDATE: reinstalling the theme did change something, the text in the edit pane is no longer white on white but it is still in HTML and I only have a few of the button across the top of the editing window.

    2nd UPDATE: I have done nothing to the site (I swear) and it’s back to being white on white text/background with no editing menu….This has me completely baffled.

    ATTENTION: After trying everything that I found, I finally found something that worked. While I’m sure all the other things do work they just weren’t fixing it this time for me.

    I did some googling and was able to find a suggestion that I hadn’t come across before and wanted to share with you all.

    Edit you’re wp-config.php file (as long as your comfortable doing so). It’s located in the root directory of your wordpress install.

    Add the line:
    define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS',false);

    This resolved the issue for me.
