Visual Editor in WP disappeared

    Yesterday I opened my website and noticed the visual editor in wordpress was gone. Only the text editor remains.

    Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?

    I have deactivated all plugins and reactivated one by one to see if that was the problem. It wasn’t.

    All plugins, wordpress, and the theme have been updated. I had done nothing new when the visual editor disappeared.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • This has absolutely nothing to do with the theme and should not really be posted in the theme’s forum.

    Have you tried:

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    Hi,

    Kindly check with profile section if you have checked the box to disable visual editor.

    This isn’t theme related as mentioned by esmi.

    Thank you so much. That was it!

    I don’t know how or when I changed it but you hit the nail on the head.

    This theme is fantastic. Thank you for providing and for responding to my unrelated question.

    I had Googled it and did quit a bit of research on it before I resorted to posting my question here. I was getting desperate.

    None of the sources I reviewed mentioned there was a checkbox for the visual editor in the profile section. I’ve been using WordPress for a few years now and have never seen it there or remember seeing it before.

    You saved me an immense amount of time and trouble.

    Thank you so much.

    Glad it worked for you.

    I think the moderator was right about a plugin that was deactivated that was still affecting the website.

    I had a plugin that was designed to allow you to edit only in HTML. I haven’t tested it yet but I think it must have checked the visual editor box when activated and when I deactivated the box remained checked.

    Just wanted to share this in case it happens to someone else.

    Thanks to both of you for you help.
