Visual Editor not available

    Hi

    I have a strange problem. I am editing two WordPress sites at two different hosting services. On one site, I can use Visual or FrontEnd Editor at all times without any glitches. Whereas on the second site, for which I recently purchased hosting and moved a site from another hosting service, I cannot find the Visual or FrontEnd Editor. SInce I am at an early stage of re-desinging the site, I have tried different themes; twenty-seventeen, twenty-sixteen, Preus and a few others; with the same result.

    I am using the same computer for both sites.

    So, essentially, all general troubleshooting, like clearing browser cache, login again, and that standard steps don’t apply here.

    Any clues? I will appreciate if the help you provide comes in English; as I am not an experienced web designer/admin; just a newbee.

    Thanks

    WordPress does not have a front-end editor built-in, you’ll need a plugin for that, so I recommend comparing plugins between the two sites.

    As for the visual editor not appearing, first make sure that “Disable the visual editor when writing” is *not* checked at Users > Your Profile in your site’s Dashboard.

    If it’s already *not* checked, try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Many thanks. I realized my mistake after comparing plugins on both sites.
