Visual editor text not visible – displays html when highlighted

  • I recently updated WordPress to version 3.2, and at the same time I also updated my theme (Graphene).

    Now when I go into to add a new post, or edit an existing post the visual editor is not working properly. The text is not visible, but when the area is highlighted it displays as html.

    I only have one plugin installed but I have deactivated this, and also cleared my browser cache (as advised in similar threads) but nothing is working.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Many thanks

  • There’s quite a few forum posts about this issue and the general consensus seems to be “Re-upload the wp-includes” directory.

    While that seems to solve the problem for some, it didn’t for me, until I did some more poking around.

    The actual problem in our case was that the editor in the admin center was trying load this file:

    /wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/en.js

    That file isn’t contained the latest version of WordPress. The file that’s actually included with wordpress in that directory is called “wp-langs-en.js”

    It wasn’t until I renamed that file to en.js that my editor finally started to work.

    I think that the WP Development teams needs to take a look at why either the file is improperly named or why it’s being improperly called/linked by the admin applicztion.

    Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

    Same troubles as everyone here, had nextgen installed to which does take a bit of a bashing on the forums. Dont try and resolve by installing 3rd party RT editors. I deleted wp-includes folder and put a fresh copy on packaged with the dowload. Sorted it right out. Did it all via FTP so was super quick too.

    Please post your own topic.
