Visual editor not working WordPress 6.0

  • I just made a fresh install of WordPress 6.0 on a free hosting account with Godaddy (I had to install it manually since they don’t let you do the automatic install with free accounts), and while everything else about the site works fine the visual editor will not work for anything. I’ve tried all the suggestions I’ve been able to find and nothing works.

    -I am using a Linix server with Godaddy’s free economy hosting, with PHP 5.0 and a MYSQL 5.0 database.
    -“Use Visual Editor” is checked under my user profile, but there is not even any mention of the visual editor under Settings>Writing>Formatting. The only options that appear there are about converting emoticons and dealing with improperly formatted XHTML.
    -The visual editor tab appears when writing a post but is actually the HTML editor, and clicking on the HTML tab does nothing.
    -I have tried alternatively setting WPLANG in the config.php file to either “en” or just leaving it blank “”. Nothing works.
    -If I browse to the tinymce config file in firefox with compression set to on, I see nothing but a little Javascript symbol. If I turn compression off it get a page full of gibberish.
    -It is not a caching issue as I have cleared my browser cache multiple times, cleared the JS cache on the server, and even completely removed WordPress and reinstalled it and the visual editor still won’t work.
    -Installing another editor like Advancedmce or whatever that one is called has no effect, and it does not show up in the writing pane at all.

    Is there something else that I have missed? As far as I can tell, WordPress can’t tell the visual editor is there at all. Could there be a path issue?

  • Have you tried using other browsers?

    Yes, the problem occurs in both IE7 and Firefox 3.

    Woops, correction to my first post: it’s actually WP 2.6. I knew there was a 6 in there somewhere.

    That’s coming from the hosting. See this thread:

    Hmm, that’s probably it. Has anyone discovered a workaround for this or will I just have to upgrade to the ad-free hosting?

    When I go to I get this:

    Any idea what’s wrong?

    Sorry, left out the link: https://www.obamascon.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php

    Update: I am not exactly sure how I fixed it but I managed to do so.

    If you’re using GoDaddy’s Free Hosting service, then Godaddy injects the following into any content generated by a .php page to display ads:

    
</object></layer></span></div></table></body></html><!-- adsok -->
<script language='javascript' src='https://a12.alphagodaddy.com/hosting_ads/gd01.js'></script>

    The injected code breaks the WYSIWYG TinyMCE visual editor (it’s javascript gets generated by tiny_mce_config.php). It’s possible to get the visual editor working, the steps involved are described here:
