Visual Tab Greyed Out

  • Hi all,

    i just performed a clean install. Writing doesn’t work.
    When I edit a page, the editor HTML tab opens by default. The Visual tab is not enabled.
    What i did so far:
    -In the users panel I unchecked ‘disable visual editor’.
    -re-uploaded the whole wp_admin folder
    -downloaded latest release of tiny_me and uploaded into wordpress includes folder.

    What todo now?

    Have you deactivated all plug-ins? (and if the problem persists, try renaming the plugins folder temporarily)

    Switched to a default theme like TwentyTen temporarily? (note that you may lose some theme-specific settings when you return to the original theme?)

    Tried a different browser?

    Thanks for your help

    I did all that too…

    It seems like some files are corrupted. Some images don’t show, but they are on the web server. Maybe some FTP issue ? What is a fail-proof way to upload ?

    FTP corruption does happen from time-to-time.

    Instead of re-uploading just the wp-admin folder, you might try re-uploading the root WordPress files, along with the wp-admin & wp-includes folders, while being very careful to retain (leave untouched) your wp-config.php, .htaccess, wp-content folders/files as well as any other modified files and folders.

    What is a fail-proof way to upload ?

    I don’t think there is one, unfortunately. It just happens sometimes. You can certainly try a different FTP client if you find it happening consistently.

    Also check your FTP log (provided in most FTP clients) after the upload to see if you spot any errors. (i.e. “Blah file failed to upload.”)

    Some images don’t show, but they are on the web server.

    Can you provide a link to a page where this is happening?

    Another idea I found in a related thread is to try adding this line to wp-config.php:

    define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
