    The following was shared by adrian_dutan in a post that shows as resolved. This is why I did not ask this question in that thread.

    I am wondering if this solution will also resolve the issue of not being able to upload using the media uploader.

    To fix WordPress visual editor not showing, follow the steps below:
    » FTP to your web server
» Download your wp-config.php and add this line of code at the bottom of the file before the “require_once” line.
    define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
    (*remember to backup the original wp-config.php)
    Should look like that:
    /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
    » Once done, upload the wp-config.php to your web server again. Now refresh your wordpress page and you should see the Visual Editor now

    I have seen and started working through those instructions but I noticed that those who used the much simpler steps above noted having success as well. Are you aware if the steps mentioned above will resolve the issues with WordPress 3.5? (They are much easier.) Should I post my question in the thread where I initially saw the post? Thank you for your assistance.

    Yes, but only if the errors are caused by combining strings in javascript.

    We have a protocol for solving problems without just jumping from one thing to another. If your error said something about scripts then sure, try the above. It all depends on the error message and since sometimes that is misleading then we follow the protocol – starting with plugins and theme. When you get to the part about using your browser to find javascript errors, depending on what errors are found, if any, would be the time to try the above which turns off the combining of strings in javascript.

    I don’t know a lot about this but there is a limit of what can be combined so if someone has a lot of plugins running this would also, AFAIK, help them.
