I had a similar problem after installing 2.1.2--no visual editor and no check box on the USERS--YOUR PROFILE page to select the visual editor.
My problem was that I copied the wp-includes\js\tinymce\ folder to the wrong location. I reloaded that folder and the visual editor was back along with the check box option on the YOUR PROFILE page.
I have to add also that I had similar problem last week with 2.1.1 but I think that was a browser cache problem after installing new version.

No, this didn't work either.
I've reloaded that folder, but to the same place wp-includes\js\tinymce\
Should I move it to another location? Is that what you did bobbr
Here's something interesting though, the editor on this screen here is also code, not visual. Is that the case for everyone?
there should be two tabs, one for Visual, one for Code

If you have old copy of 2.0.9 data base you can downgrade if you don't you can't .

Hmmm, only started with WP a couple of weeks ago with 2.1.1 which has now been declared dangerous. There must be a way out of this, short of switching hosts?

I'm in the same boat. I suppose I could start fresh on 2.0.9 but I'd rather not.

Can you downgrade from 2.1.2 to 2.0. If so how? I don't have it on my computer as I only started with WP a couple weeks ago with 2.1.1

My visual editor vanished yesterday. I've tried toggling both the global and user-specific settings, with no luck in restoring it. I'm running 2.0.7 and haven't made any recent changes to version, plugins, themes, etc. It just went away. :(

Update: I've tried repairing the database tables and also deactivating plugins with no luck. I logged into an existing user account (non-admin) and he doesn't have access to the visual editor either.
I saw another thread on a similar topic where it was suggested to change permissions on the wp-includes directory. If I can figure out how to do that, I'll give it a shot.
For whatever it's worth, I'm hosted on Media Temple and have a few sporadic mySQL issues over the last few months.

Update 2: After not working in Firefox and Safari, I hopped onto Windows and loaded up WordPress in IE7. The visual editor was there. I returned to the Mac (and FF) and it was still missing, so I cleared the cache and there it was. All told, it was down about 24 hours. Not sure what triggered it, or what made it return. It's a little disconcerting, as I've never see this sort of random behavior in 18+ months on WP.

I was havining the same problem. No visual editor in FF or IE for admin, editor or writer. I reloaded the wp_includes files and logged on. Nothing changed then I hit control + F5 to refresh and low and behold there the little buggers were.
Happy days!

I had the same problem. I managed to solve it by first, disabling the use visual editor in my user options. I then deleted the wp-includes file totally. I got the newest wp-includes folder from a fresh zip of WP and uploaded this. Then went back to my user options and enabled the editor. It looks fine for me. This works in FF 1.5 just fine
Hi all,
Before you conclude you have encountered THIS problem discussed on THIS thread, please make sure it is not just caused by your browsers local cache!
Clear the browser cache or reload the edit page with Ctrl+F5 to force your browser to reload all the WP/TinyMCE files that are needed for the RTE to work.
But if the problem remains, even after disabling all plugins... You've got the bug :(

I'm having the same problem, and the worst part about it is that it isn't consistent. But I think I've managed to narrow the problem down to a plugin containing the following relatively simple PHP code:
function post_link_to($permalink) {
if (function_exists('c2c_get_custom')) {
$link_to = c2c_get_custom('link_to');
if ($link_to) return $link_to;
}
return $permalink;
} // au_post_link_to
add_action('the_permalink', 'post_link_to', 20);Any help or idea of why this plugin destroys the visual editor is highly appreciated.

Hm. I can get the Visual Editor to return -- but only by using the Ctrl-F5 refresh each time I enter the editor. Problem exists on both sites on the server. But only in Firefox -- IE7 works fine.
Here's another tidbit for the puzzlers -- I'm running the sites on a Windows 2003 server, and using PHP5 under them. How many of you are too?

I have the same problem. Tried everything mentioned in this topic without any success.
Running: PHP Version 5.2.1
What does your tiny_mce_gzip.php?ver=20061113
look like when viewing it in the browser?
I get a warning like this:
<b>Warning</b>: ob_start() [<a href='ref.outcontrol'>ref.outcontrol</a>]:
output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used twice in <b>/home/2/l/landing/www/info/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php</b> on line <b>142</b>

have you tried installing fresh wp in sub domain in the same server ?
Posted 2 years ago #
ok, nothing I've read anywhere has worked for me. What's next ? My install of WP is fairly uesless at present. I have no check-boxes in WRITE or in PROFILE, and no editor to be seen anywhere.
I think tomivar is on to somthing here...
Since I do not have this problem anymore but after sooooo many upgrades, downgrades, uninstalls and clean installs, I could not tell you how it was resolved if you beat me with a stick - sorry :/
So can anyone that still has these problems please check what they see when viewing these files in any browser:
http://<your.url>/<wp-path>/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php
http://<your.url>/<wp-path>/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
Anyone get an error like tomivar?
To compare: here are the TinyMCE files used by good working install (finally)...

having same problem, but it seems to work in FF, but no luck in Safari
Posted 2 years ago #
i know how to solve this problem... you only have to change where it says "display name publicity as" to something else, that worked with me .. :)
domi182, what are you talking about?!? Do you mean in the admin section under Users > Profile? Just change the "Display name publicly as:" option? And after that, this issue was gone?!?
Can anyone -who has this issue- please test this and report back?
Posted 2 years ago #
I upgraded and couldn't see the visual code, add links or even click on my smilies to add them to posts. I just cleared out my cookies and it works now. :) Thank you for this thread, I thought I was going crazy or did something wrong in upgrading.
Posted 2 years ago #
domi182 must have been a fluke. I tested that and got nothing. For me, a complete browser reset does not work. I haven't gone crazy with the files on my host yet, it seems those options don't work.......wow, it just came back. I did nothing. I closed the browser after resetting it and it came back (firefox on mac os x). Very strange. I'm scared to do anything, i don't want it to break again.

I had the same problem (Use the visual editor when writing problem)
But I realized that the reason is the plugin I use. If you use a poll plugin (I have two different site. In one of that I use WP-POLLS and the other uses DEMOCRACY)
I reinstalled both pluggin and now I can see the visual editting bar.
Posted 2 years ago #
I'm having the same problem under WP 2.1.3. I also have the WP-Polls and reinstalled it with no problem. I created a user who only had "Editor" priviliges and I was able to log in under that account and use the Visual Editor just fine. But as soon as I log in as an admin I lose it again.
I've tried most of the fixes above short of downgrading. Any other ideas?
Posted 2 years ago #
Well, my visual editor broke again today. Can't tell you why, and it looks like a browser reset did not help anything. I've played with this on multiple macs using differnt broswers with the same results.
This is really annoying. I'm no programmer so I'm pretty much stuck. Do the wordpress folks know about this serious bug?
Posted 2 years ago #
I have solved this by disabling the Image2 plugin WPG2.
As soon as the plugin was disabled, the editor reappeared. I also tried by disabling other plugins but they were all transparent to this problem. Only this (mediocre) plugin couses the problem. Hope it helps.
Posted 2 years ago #
I can confirm MToscans solution.
I'm using Wordpress 2.1.3 with plugin WPG2 2.11 and the visual editor disapeared.
After disabling the WPG2 plugin (and refreshing the browser cache) the visual editor works fine.
Does anybody know a solution how to use visual Editor and WPG2 plugin?
Thanks
Waldorf

OK, I solved it!
After 3 days on it, I finally got it!
