WordPress 2.7 Visual Editor has Vanished on some Posts

  • At times when I save a post, the page editor disappears and I can only view what has been written out in HTML. However, once the VISUAL button is pressed I can no longer access the editor unless the page is refreshed. Also pressing the HTML button again does not work either. I simply cannot see the post.

    The only way to get the HTML back is to refresh the page, yet this still doesn’t allow me access the Visual Editor. The only option is to delete the post and copy the HTML into a fresh page and resubmit it.

    Also all the previous saved posts are not accessible.

    This is the 2nd time this has now happened since upgrading to WP 2.7. It does this after pressing the SAVE post button.

    WordPress was upgraded using INSTANT UPGRADE plugin.

    I hope there is a fix for this. Thanks.

  • I did solve this problem by:

    1. Disable Gears on my firefox.
    2. Disable ALL plugins.
    3. Clearing Cache.
    4. restart firefox.
    5. Visual editor now works.
    6. Enable plugins.
    7. Visual editor still works.

    Well I did just that now. I hope I did it like you meant.
    Disabled all firefox plugins, cleared the cache and restarted – no change.. :S

    Maybe I did something wrong? But then those buttons should appear on my IE, Chrome or Maxthon.

    The weird thing is that I do see those buttons for a blink of an eye just before the page is done loading. Then theyre gone…
    That means a cache problem to me, but i did clean it all, Even deleted cookies and temp file manually from my computer..

    Lem4,

    I have exactly the same issue. The Visual Editor appears on some posts for a slip second, then disappears. At the same time, other posts are not effected at all. This is the same no matter what browser I use or computer. These issues only started occuring when I upgraded to WP 2.7.

    I wonder how many others are experiencing exactly this problem?

    Having the same problem. This is pretty awful, I have to do all my posts by coding HTML.

    I tried disabling all WordPress plugins and clearing the cache, nothing. The Visual editor never appears. The HTML editor only. When I click Visual, the textblock disappears. Then, when I click HTML after that, nothing happens either. It just says Wordcount: ..

    Yeah exactly..
    I hope there will be a solution soon.
    Meanwhile those of us with FF might be able to use the ScribeFire add-on to edit and publish posts. It may not be the best thing, but it may do for now ??

    Tried it all. Disabled all my plug-ins (I dont have the seo, or the tinymce, or the flash plug-in) – nothing. cleared cache on the blog, and both on my browsers and my comp. Then tried the full delete and fresh install.. nothing works.

    I do not have editing buttons on my editor, new or old posts.
    The editor will only stay on what seems to be the HTML editor, and if I dare to click the HTML tab again the whole edit box collapses and wont come back until I refresh the page.
    Also, on the little “Page options” button in the top right – I have to check the slug box every time anew.

    Havent tried installing it on a different folder, didnt see a valid reason for that since I deleted the whole thing and installed again.

    ..There must be something more general behind this.

    Any other suggestions maybe?

    This is the exact problem I was having. I did indeed find a solution. Although we should be being provided with a fix by WP (if it is a WP problem and not a local problem).
    All I did was install a plugin called “TinyMCE Advanced“, and now I have all of the editing/formatting buttons when creating or editing posts/pages.
    I’m so glad that I found a solution because it was getting extremely annoying to have to hand-code each post.

    Ok then I’ll try that.
    I was under the impression that this plugin is one of the causes for this bug, but lets give it a shot..

    Thanks!

    This is getting annoying, even this didnt work..
    I chose the buttons, and updated. got no other plugin installed there now, and still the same.

    I think we’ll need a WP solution because I don’t know what else to do now.

    Oh dear god… Alright it’s fixed now.

    What I did was go into my profile and check the “Don’t use visual editor”
    then I saved, and suddenly I had buttons on the HTML editor..!

    Then I went back to my profile and unchecked that box, saved and ta-da the buttons stayed and I have both Visual and HTML editor that seem to be working perfectly (for now, shhhh..)

    Thank you all for helping!

    Lem4, it worked for me too! Now I don’t have to rely on that plugin to work for me. ??

    I can’t believe we didn’t try that before. lol

    Congrats..!
    I hope this helps other people too ??

    …So that would mean it’s a WP bug after all, no?

    OK. Finally found out my problem. I had an htaccess file in the wp- folders blocking access. I removed them all (can’t remember which one actually did the trick) and the problem has gone away.

    Someone up there mentioned it but I simply couldn’t see why it would be causing the problem (still don’t) but it’s sorted now!

    Still not working for me.

    Nothing helped:
    – disabling plugins
    – disable/enable visual editor in profile
    – install TinyMCE

    And it happens both on FF and IE…?

    Did you try deleting everything (watch you delete hidden .htaccess) and installing fresh?

    I have a same problem, my visual editor was not appear on my screen, just html editor. I am using Chrome when I got that problem. But, when I switch my browser to Firefox, I didn’t get any problem with visual editor.
