  • It looks like the errors are coming from the tinymce plugin.

    Can you try downloading a fresh version of WordPress then go and add your theme and plugins, leaving tinymce until last in your steps; to see if that’s your problem?

    thanks Adeline for the reply however

    i made a new subdomain and i tried
    clean installation without even installing a theme deleting all plugins
    and right out of the box the visual tab not working with wordpress 4.4.2
    i downgraded to 4.4 and same issue appears

    i host the website on godaddy , i tried on ipage also same issue

    the tinymce is located in includes folder and so it isn’t a plugin that i install normally but part of the core files

    i came into a solution from 2008 regarding wordpress tinymce failure on godaddy
    https://www.zulius.com/how-to/fix-wordpress-editor-on-a-free-godaddy-hosted-site/
    but didn’t match my criteria and folder listings
    so i didn’t know how to apply it , i tried adding this line to
    wp-includes/script-loader.php

    $scripts->add( 'tiny_mce', '/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tinymce_fixed.js', array('editor_functions'), $mce_version );

    no success , may be i am not understanding the solution the right way

    still stuck and visual tab not working !!

    i installed wordpress , used html5 blank theme

    Please try the following temporary steps to troubleshoot:

    • Switch to the Twenty Fifteen theme
    • Deactivate all of your plugins, no exceptions
    • Clear your browser’s cache and cookies
    • Re-login and visit the post editor

    Do you still get the problem when you do that? The cache and cookies are important. Also try with Firefox started in Safe Mode if you can.

    I want to rule out any issues with your browser add-ons.
