Visual tab not loading/working, Text tab is fine

  • Hi there,

    Just started a new blog with a fresh copy of WP 4.9.7, on a server with several other blogs with no issues and all the sudden I get this:

    The “Visual” tab offers nothing to edit. Nothing.
    There are no plugins installed, not one. There were no changes made after set up. In fact, I even uninstalled it, installed WP v4.9.1 and the exact same thing happened, so I updated back to 4.9.7.

    The “Text” tab works fine:

    I searched and tried a few things in addition to installing a previous version, for example, I also deleted the WP install from my server and reinstalled it. Same thing. I also installed a text editor plug in (four, actually), and nothing.

    This is a very curious problem the like of which I have yet to see since I started back with WP 2.1 oh so many years ago.

    Anyone have any idears?

    Thanks,
    Casey

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/ On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.

    ???

    Did you read the post I wrote? Thanks for the reply, but as stated in the post, there are no plugins and it is a fresh install, so it is running the twentyseventeen theme.

    Healthcheck didn’t help.

    I did find something that did, however. On a whim I opened it in Safari instead of Chrome and it worked. So it appears that the problem is centered around the Chrome browser.

    It’s a clue!

    Thanks,

    Try chrome WITHOUT any extensions.

    Good idea but no cigar.

    Funny thing is, my other sites hosted on the same server work fine in chrome. It’s only this new one that is making trouble.

    Hello, I just updated to this version and am having the same problem. Maybe it’s a bug? Any ideas on how to fix?
    Thanks!
