When you say delete your entire wp-includes/js/ directory. Then repopulate it. Do you actually mean delete everything within the js folder first, and then upload a fresh copy of these js folder files? I don't know too much about these technical things, and I just want to make sure that it doesn't break anything within WordPress. My js folder seems to contain all the same files. So I am not sure if this will work.
I appreciate you spending the time to help others resolve this issue.
On another note, I utilize a plugin called "Instant Upgrade" to install new versions of WordPress. I am curious to know if this plugin could be the cause of this error. Is anyone experiencing this error while having manually upgrading WordPress? It would be interesting to find out.

Posted 11 months ago #IQmatrix:
Go download the .zip file from the official Wordpress download site and unzip it.
Delete all the files in the wp-includes/js/ directory, and re-send the files up via FTP. I have heard other people state that the automatic upgrader plugins had problems
Also, disable the automatic upgrader plugins before doing this.

Open up your firefox error console, clear and then do a Ctrl+F5 refresh. Let me know what shows up there.
presto,
Yea, pop up blockers could cause a problem I suppose, although I am not sure how.
iq,
The autoupgrader could easily have been subject to the same problems as manual upgraders. Therefore, I would recommend deactivating it and doing a manual upgrade (which is very simple, there are instructions on this site for that).

Posted 11 months ago #I've confirmed on my install, that I can disable both "cforms" and "All in One SEO Pack" plugins and everything works as it should. Enabling either seems to cause mine to stop working.
I know that cforms installs its own button into the editor... does "All in One SEO Pack" do that also? Maybe it's a problem with that?

Posted 10 months ago #2.7 had me, a grown woman, in tears. My solution was to call my webhost and, thank God, he was able to retrieve 2.6.2 for me. The problems with 2.7: couldn't get Dashboard off editing screen, plus all the little boxes they tell you to collapse & move -- much easier said than done. The Dashboard won't go away and the other boxes keep popping back to their original positions and it's a nuisance beyond endurance.
Even when I finally cleared a space to actually see the draft I wanted to edit, none of the buttons worked, so I had nothing plus nobody to give any help.
Until it works better, I want no part of 2.7
Why can't WordPress give us user support? I'd pay for it! -
Posted 10 months ago #Downgrading to 2.6.5 might be a good temporary option.. The problem with my case is that I have made some modifications to wordpress to make a kind-of-bridge with PHPBB.

Posted 9 months ago #Is there any solution to this problem? I tried everything discussed here but nothing works for me.
Maybe some solution from Wordpress people?Thanks

Posted 9 months ago #Shimshon9,
Personally, I also haven't been able to resolve the issue. Through trial and error I found out the HeadSpace2 was causing the problems. When I deactivate this plugin everything works fine. However, for some reason after I deleted the JS directory and then re-populated it again, the editor buttons are no longer displaying any images. The buttons are there, however the icons representing these buttons are blank. I therefore must scroll over each button to determine what it represents.
I really don't know what else to say. I am hoping that WordPress will bring out a new version which will hopefully fix these issues.

Posted 9 months ago #I have many installations of WP on my server (various blogs) - only one has this problem. I've tried re-uploading js directory, clearing caches, deactivating / reactivating option to use visual editor, and removing all plug-ins (by renaming the plugins directory). I still get no visual editor when using Firefox. It does appear when using Internet Explorer.
The FireFox error console says this (and I definately have that file in that location because I pasted the URL and saw the file):
Error: tinyMCE is undefined Source File: http://www....../wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/wp-langs-en.js?ver=20081129 Line: 1~Andrew~

Posted 9 months ago #This has just started happening to me a moment ago. I have tried just about everything.
The odd thing is that it works perfectly fine when creating a new post. Editing posts/pages is the only time it breaks.
The js has to be broken or something, but I even deleted the tinymce folder and uploaded it again, but to no avail.
If someone has a true solution to this, I would love to hear it. Thankfully I can still create new posts in the visual editor.

Posted 8 months ago #I have since noticed that the error only occurs when I edit pages. Editing posts works fine.

Posted 8 months ago #Lowlight,
Even with the latest WordPress, the error seems to have re-surfaced. I went back to re-edit a post that has already been published, pressed SAVE and the Visual Editor vanished, and I can't seem to get it back.
All my REVISIONS have also disappeared from that post and can no longer be accessed.
I am running WordPress 2.7.1
Initially when I upgraded from 2.7 the problem vanished, however it has now become another frustrating aspect of using WordPress :(
I sincerely hope that a solution can be found.

Posted 8 months ago #I'm having the same issues to. It is a Javascript issue as natarem suggested. I threw in my old JS files with the new & it seems to address some of the issue but not all. I am going to try another complete re-install as he suggested:

Let me know if you've discovered a cure for the problem

Posted 8 months ago #Here's the deal - it's something to do with the extraction. In the zipped file, all the files listed on Natarem's page are in there, but when I extract it, they don't come out. I tried manually doing it, but no dice. Not sure what the deal is ...
-
Posted 8 months ago #YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I think I solved my issue. For some reason my computer was not extracting all the files from the WP zip file. I simply uploaded those on to a flash drive & used another computer to extract & upload. Looks like the issues is resolved. Thanks again!

Posted 7 months ago #Ok, I did an update, then a complete install.
I flushed everything but my underwear out of the cache of both browsers on my Xp machine, and the F-Fox browser on my Linux machine.I added the TinyMCE advanced plugin, activated, it, deactivated it,
I then went and d'loaded the latest version of the std. tinyMCE (3.2.2.3 it said) and installed that.
I reverted to the plain ol' default skin while I did all this.
I have no clue what a "Kimilli flash plugin" is, but I ain't got it.
I created a new user, checked, then unchecked the visual editor for this user. Tried logging off then back on with it.
No buttons, no toolbar, just a pair of tabs marked "Visual", and "HTML", which don't do anything.
The blog is on a linux server running php Version 4.4.9, and the editor worked fine on the ancient version of WordPress I was using before.At this point, I am just gonna go away scratching my head, and wait for my smarts to backfill, a bit.
Meanwhile, I sure am glad I can do 95% of my blog writing in either Christopher Finke's Scribfire, or Michael B's "Text Formatting Toolbar" plug-in for FireFox.
Other than that, gotta say Wp 2.7 has been very nice to me, thanks.

I tried ALL the other stuff and it ended up being that bugger.Flash plugins, especially those ones for video playback are the ones messing with TinyMCE.
