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.

  • Mine was fixed on two different blogs by updating FileZila to 3.1.6 and then uploading the entire wp-includes/js/tinymce folder again.

    That’s very strange. Everyone seems to have a different method for fixing the same issue. Personally, everything I have tried hasn’t worked for so far. Although when I disable the Visual Editor the HTML Editor functions correctly, yet enabling it causes the same errors once again.

    Ok one questions – did you try actually removing all plug-ins and not just disabling them?
    I had some problems with my plug-ins and this version that were only solved by totally deleting the plug in from the plug in folder, and uploading the newest version of the plug-in again.

    It sounds more and more like a js problem, and looks like it as well.
    The questions is if the problem is for each of us individually, or is it something bigger caused by some WP code that just wont play well with others..

    I solve this problem by clearing cache and cookies and restart Firefox. Try using opera.

    This problem is due to missing Javascript. Double check your wp-includes/js/ folder to make sure that everything lines up with the information in this blog post I just made:

    Lem4 – That also worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

    Finally fixed! Thanks a lot natarem!

    I think natarems solution, with all the cache and the cleaning should do the trick.
    It does look like a js problem, so following the steps in his post should help most people.

    For me the visual editor is not displaying the content text, it looks blank, but if I ‘select all’ the text is highlighted / it’s still there, but just all white for some reason. I’m wondering if this is the case with all you others who have the same ‘no content text’ issue when the VISUAL tab is selected.

    If I try to click on the HTML tab nothing happens until I save the post and start over –then the HTML version loads.

    This happens on new and edited posts, in FF and IE, and with all plugins disabled. Just wanted to add my $0.02 to help us all figure this out. Thanks

    ..This is a new development.. ??
    Have you tried actually removing the plug-in and re-installing? Disabling won’t always work if this problem is related to what we had so far

    Safari/MacOSX – (I tried FF too) This has brought my blog to a standstill. I was really looking forward to “Coltrane” and now this: No colors, html, NextGen is 4/5 steps to long – making it tedious to place an image, etc., I did the TinyMIce thing and poked around a little bit, but for us intermediates there needs to be a quicker fix. This is a real bummer. I’ll have to wait for “Miles Davis” …

    other than that BIG problem – everything else looks great!

    *I broke my Cardinal Rule: Always give a new release a few months before installing it – d*rn, never again.

    deactivating Kimilli flash plugin did the job…trust me

    I don’t have “Kimili flash plugin” … do I?

    If I did – where would it be located? Here’s a list of my Plugin files:

    Plugins
    AdServe
    Akismet
    CyStat
    CyStats Uninstaller
    Event Calendar
    Event Calendar Widget
    Events Calendar
    FeedStats
    Gigs Calendar
    Google Analyticator
    Google XML Sitemaps
    GoStats
    GoStats Map Widget
    Hello Dolly
    myWeather
    NASA Image Of The Day
    NextGEN Gallery
    podPress
    PXS Mail Form
    StatPress
    Style Tweaker
    TinyMCE Advanced
    WassUp
    WP Easy PHP Calendar Admin

    … and “how?”

    UncleAsh,

    Step 1: Deactivate TinyMCE Advanced
    Step 2: Follow my instructions in the blog post linked above — ie, completely delete and repopulate your /wp-includes/js/ directory.

    Then go to a Ctrl+R (or the force refresh in Mac) on a post. Your problem should be fixed.

    Oops, by “on a post” I meant “on a post you’re editing”
