I think I tried the ‘user’ trick, but will do it again, because I can’t remember for sure. As far as the secondary hosting thing… I’ll have to think about it. Do you think a LAMP virtual machine with a copy of the site on my local LAN be a valid test?

As far as detail, there is none. None of the proposed items effected the core problem. Expected changes did occur (plugins, themes) but did not effect the lack of editor. When I turned off the editor in my profile, I could then see the contents of my post as it should appear in the non-visual editor, but re-enabling the editor returned it to it’s broken state.

Things I HAVE tried: (in no particular order)

• Disabling all plugins
• Using the default Theme
• re-installing the core WP files (not wp-content)
• Clearing my browser cache
• Different browsers/machines
• Different locations/networks
• “Use Google Libraries” plugin
• Turning on and off the visual editor from the user profile
• added define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to wp-config

I think that’s everything, I’ve been wrestling this issue for the better part of 2 months or more. Each of the above items has been tried several times and in various orders or implementation. So far the only thing that has definitely worked is the roll back to 3.4.1.

Thanks again for your time.

This problem has continued to haunt me all the way up to the most recent 3.6 update. NONE of the other methods described has been able to bring back my visual editor. I finally resorted to back revving my WP to 3.4.1 (the last time it worked) and that has finally brought back my editor. Not the ideal solution for my peace of mind, but it is the only one that works at this point.

I forgot to tick the ‘notify me’ checkbox…

I’ve been battling this since the 3.5 to 3.5.1 update. Tried everything listed above and more, so far nothing I’ve tried has been able to bring back my editor. I’m getting particularly frustrated with this problem.

Can you be more specific? I’ve been battling this problem since 3.5.1, I’ve tried every posted solution that I have found, deleted/reloaded directories, edited wp-config, etc and so on. I’m willing to try anything at this point. I’m a bit of a hack, can’t code my way out of a paper bag, but I can follow instructions… any assistance would be appreciated.
