Finally found more information. An error message is “TypeError: DOM.events is undefined” and refers to:
DOM.events.add( DOM.select('.wp-editor-wrap'), 'mousedown', function(e){
This is part of “var wpActiveEditor” javascript code that is loaded on the edit Post page.
I just did a new install of 3.6-beta3-24375, and it has the same issue with the visual editor as version 3.5.1 has. The visual editor toolbar is missing.
That’s you, not WP. Visual Toolbar works just fine on a clean build, so you must have a conflict somewhere on your site.
I bed to differ — I thought this might be a possibility, so I did a new install of wordpress and have the same problem before loading any plugins. AND I have it happening on all three of my sites, and one of my client sites….. somethin’ strange is goin’ on.
Anyone who gets a clue about this … HELP!!!!
If I had other plugins installed and/or activated, then yes, that would be the case. But the new install only has the native Akismet plugin not activated as well as the native theme which is of course activated.
I cannot replicate your problem on a clean install either. And my other 3.5.1 sites (about 11) have no Visual Editor problems either. Perhaps it’s an issue with your server. Is it running mod_pagespeed?
@esmi, no, mod_pagespeed is not installed on the server.
Try adding define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);
to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once
line).
(Mod pagespeed IS active on mine, but properly told to stuff it when it comes to wp-admin 😉 )
You may need this:
// Trunk is drunk
define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);
define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
If your browser is caching this, it helps to force WP to un-chunk.
Yah!!!! It works. Thank you.
