Problem now resolved. After I replaced the folders you mentioned I did regain my “use visual editor” option, but unfortunately the visual editor was not working. After much head scratching and searching around I found this solution:

Removing the files from wp-content/uploads/js_cache did the trick. I also looked at the WPLANG variable in wp-config and lo and behold its value was ” ” instead of “en”. I fixed this also. Everything is working fine now. Looks like Filezilla wasn’t the culprit after all…this time!

I did indeed use Filezilla. Hmm, the plot thickens. I actually stopped using Filezilla a while back because sometimes when I was uploading new versions of files when I was developing my website, it would go through the motions yet not actually replace them. So I switched to Core FTP Lite – but after a recent reinstall of my O/S, it won’t connect to my domain for some reason. So I’m back to Filezilla again.

Perfect! Thanks. I had all of the files but none of the folders.

Although why this was so remains a mystery.

Issue still not resolved. I’ve since found a screen shot online of someone else’s profile screen and I notice that the “use visual editor” option is directly above the “Admin color scheme” selector. In my profile, it’s just not there.

Does anyone know of any possible reason why my installation of WordPress doesn’t have this option?
