[resolved] 2.8 upgrade killed visual editor (65 posts)

    Here's what worked for me;

    1) Delete entire folder WP-Includes from my host
    2) Download update of wordpress through wp site by going to Tools - Upgrade - Download 2.8.4
    3) Open downloaded wp folder and upload the WP-Includes folder to the host

    That's it. All that is being done is the wp-includes folder is being replaced. First delete the folder, then download and upload another wp-includes folder.

    Any errors resulting from the first upgrade should be resolved by downloading the folder again.

    Very frustrating and took a number of hours to sort, just happy it's resolved now.

    Those who still have this problem, follow johnkgibson's lead.

    Save yourselves a lot of time and just get Dean's FCKeditor - http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/fckeditor-for-wordpress-plugin/

    I tried many of the suggestions in the forum and none of it worked. I tried a few other editor plugins; no luck. Then I downloaded CKeditor to my Mac, unzipped, ftp'd to the plugin folder, refreshed and I now have a visual editor on both Mac and PC browsers. Problem solved in minutes and no more messing with the code.

    This whole thing was more than a little annoying and I hope this saves someone else the frustration that many of us have experienced.

    Thanks for JohnkGibson!

    this is cracking me up. i am ready to go batty and cause the next human being who talks to me physical harm.

    my problem was completely different from everyone else's. deactivating plugins did not work - even with them all deactivated, i had to uninstall them COMPLETELY to see any of my toggle buttons or my visual tab.

    wordpress, seriously. fix this. this has been a huge waste of time and resources.

    I can't believe it. I have tried everything including adding the script to wp-config.php. Then I read a reply from someone that said "I went to my profile and clicked "Disable visual editor" and saved it, then went back in and enabled the visual editor and it worked" Well it worked for me too. Thanks everyone. JD

    This is definitely not "RESOLVED." As the above replies already make clear, the fixes only work for some people some of the time. So far, none have worked for me. So how is this resolved?

    How are we to get our blogs working, and why hasn't there been a bug fix in four months' time?
