I got this problem after upgrading to WordPress 4.7 Vaughan and was able to partially and temporarily fix it by
1. Adding define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); to the wp-config.php file at the very top after the php opening tag.
2. Resetting permalinks
3. Getting out of pages being worked on and then getting back in.

However, it seems that deactivating the plugin WP Edit has fixed the problem. I am using the Weaver Xtreme Theme and this was updated with the plugin at the same time WordPress was updated. WP Edit was updated to version 4.0. I guess I will leave this plugin deactivated until there is another update and then see how it works.

I had the same thing happen to me except that the WordPress SEO plugin was also not showing up on the plugins page. The problem turned out to be some missing files in the WordPress SEO folder. I don’t know how the files were deleted — probably something I did wrong. Anyway, if some files are missing from that folder, the plugin may not show up anymore although still installed. Since checking that folder for missing files is easy, it can’t hurt to take a quick look. Just a thought.

On the right-hand side of your edit post page you will see two tabs: “Visual” and “Text” If you click on “Text,” you will see HTML code for your post. You can enter HTML code there in the appropriate place.

I tried ElectricFeet’s suggestion and only got one column. Maybe I did something wrong. You could also just insert a 3-column table with HTML (tr and td tags). Anyway, I think the better way to accomplish this is with CSS styling your divs. Sorry I can’t give you that CSS. Maybe someone else here can, but you could also probably find it with a little research.

Hi Steven:
The theme author’s mods did not work for me either. I am not sure why.

To fix the theme, I would redownload the theme and then make changes using a child theme. Here is a link to a simplified article about making a child theme:

And, of course, you can go here for a more in-depth discussion.

I hope this helps.
