"visual" editor mode not working after WordPress 4.3 update

I’m having the same problem since upgrading to 4.3. I can still edit in the Text tab (raw HTML) but Visual tab is blank and is missing the normal set of edit controls.

I have another site as well that’s fine, so I suspect that some difference between the 2 sites would explain why 1 has the problem. No idea where to look though.

Help!

An update:

I have done everything in the WordPress 4.3 Masterlist including flushing every cache multiple times,making sure it’s not single browser related (same problem in Firefox and Chrome),deactivating all plugins, updating all plugins, switching to the twenty 15 theme and upgrading to 4.3 again (although not manually). I also put the script debug command: define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true); in the wp-config.php file.

Nothing has changed; would still really appreciate some help. This is way beyond my knowledge grade.

Hi, I checked everything. Php code parts, mysql, logs.
I had this issue only in chrome, there is 2 things I found:
– try to check and save, than uncheck and save Visual editor under Users/Your profile.
– I had a chrome extension (User-Agent Switcher for Chrome) which caused the removing the buttons. Try turning off the browser extension (adblock can also cause problems).

Hope that helps.

Al, thanks I appreciate the idea to check and uncheck the Visual Editor in Users. Seemed like a good idea; unfortunately it didn’t fix the problem. I’ve already tried it with browsers extensions off, and it is the same problem on Chrome and Firefox.

If you run in any javascript console the following:

getUserSetting(‘editor’);

Do you get tinymce as a result?

Al,

Sorry for my ignorance but I’m not a Javascript guy. I’ve got the Chrome Javascript Console up, but it’s not obvious to me how to run that line of code.

Phil

Im having the same exact issue on all my browsers.. white screen once I login to wordpress. I upgraded to the latest wordpress.

(I knew this is why you WAIT a few months on any upgrade but it has never happened before with WordPress)

At any rate, if anyone figures it out, please post. I submitted a ticket to my web host to see if they can figure it out but they will probably say they don’t address wordpress problems.

And for people like AL, if you want us to test things like running code in a javascript console, please explain how to pull up a javascript console. NO clue here either how to do that.

Ok Al, so I Googled how to pull up the javascript console and i ran it on my wp-admin white screen and got this after typing in: getUserSetting(‘editor’);

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
getUserSetting(‘editor’);
VM65:2 Uncaught ReferenceError: getUserSetting is not defined

Also when I looked at my error logs for my domain/wp-admin/ it said error in my php.ini file on line 6 which was simply

max_execution_time = 60

Hey mhart0101,

No offense but you’ve hijacked my tread. Every situation is different; you’re supposed to start your own thread.

Al,

Thanks again for your help. I finally figured out how to run that line in the firefox java script console.

When I opened up the console this is the first thing I saw:

“Failed to load: https://www.pjmconsult.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpeditimage/plugin.min.js&#8221;

Then I ran getUserSetting(‘editor’);
and the result was as you suggested.
“tinymce”

What does this mean and what can be done?

Phil

I figured it out anyway. renamed my plugins folder to something like plugins-temp…that got me back inside the wordpress control panel to figure out which plugin didn’t work with the rest of wordpress.

Is your wpeditimage plugin upgraded to the latest version?

I have a different problem than you–I never had problem getting into the wp console, which is why I suggested you open a different thread. My problem is only with the visual edit tab. I have already tried disabling all my plugins and it didn’t fix my issue.

When you upgraded, did you do it via ftp the 2nd time?

Nope, just the auto-upgrade.
