    I thought I was the only one. This happens to me too. I've searched on Twitter but no one else seems to be noticing this problem so far. I've used Firebug to try to fix it myself. The problem is that the plug-in is loading the css and js files from a location that does no exist (wp-admin/styles), which results in a 404 error and the editor to fail.

    I hope a fix won't take too long to appear.

    I'll switch to another editor in the meantime.

    Hey I found a fix:

    * Log-in to your FTP account and edit “wp-config.php“
    * Search for the line starting with “require_once(…“
    * Insert BEFORE the that line: “define (‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);“

    That's it :-)

    That fix did not work for me either. The ckeditor does not show up when editing a page at all.

    Yeah right, it does not work for me either, I was getting the cached version, but after refreshing, the buttons are gone. Updated to CKEditor 1.0.4 today but still the same problem. Anyone?

    Ok, I've fixed it. Not sure why it works now, but it does. So in case it helps anyone, these are the steps I've followed:

    - Disable ALL plugins
    - Disable & Delete CKEditor
    - Install CKEditor & Activate it (now it works)
    - Activate the rest of the plugins. I've noticed that, after activating some plugins like Askimet, CKEditor stops working (no idea why, it's SO weird). Anyway, try yourself and let's see if a fix for this appears. I think it's a WordPress 3.0.3 bug, otherwise I don't understand why all this ritual of activation/deactivation makes any difference.

    - I disabled all plugins
    - I deleted and reloaded/actived Ckeditor (now it works).
    - I activate a plugin (ie: Google Doc Embed )
    - Ckeditor works with first post
    - Ckeditor stops working with second post !!!!

    Thank you for your research

    Damn it! You're right :-(((

    Anyone has found a real fix for this? Why do they take so long to fix it?

    Hey guys, try this one. It works for me so far:

    http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18946&p=48073

    I've commented the line that loads plugins for the editor, and now everything seems to work. I've loaded the editor in "add post" and "edit post" modes, loading different entries in my blog and buttons always appear.

    Try yourself, it might work for you as well :-)

    My earlier post didn't fix the problem completely.

    However, after debugging thoroughly, I've found the final solution. I've added this code to my template's header.php file:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $CKEditor->basePath = '/ckeditor/';
    </script>

    That's it. The editor didn't work because it was trying to load its resources from the wrong place. For some reason, the basePath variable was empty. Now it works.

    I'm glad the fix worked for you. Unfortunately, it didn't help me. I can't get the editor to show up within the admin section of WP when you edit a page or post.

    Any other ideas? Thanks.

    unfortunately it does not work for me.
    I went to WP 3.0.4 but same problem!
    I tried another editor Foliopress WYSIWYG based on FCKEditor and it works?

    Hey guys, I have cloned my WordPress installation, running it within my local development server (XAMPP) and the editor doesn't break up. In fact, it works perfectly.

    Question: do you use Google Page Speed optimizer? Because I think there is some kind of relation with the error. My editor breaks only when the page has been optimized (compressed). It works OK when otherwise. If you have the same scenario, then that could be the final explanation.

    I have been able to get the install to work on my local server as well, but not live. Unfortantely, I do not use Google Page Speed Optimizer. The only plug-ins on my site are next-gen gallery & a couple of others.

    How can it be possible that there's no fix for this already? It's been more than a month. However, I don't see it as a major bug since not many people seem to be affected. I've tried asking in the CKEditor forum and I got no replies... weird and annoying.

    I got no replies either. I am about to try the foliopress plug-in & see if it works for me.

    Foliopress ain't bad, but there's something that puts me down: you can't insert an image in your post using an URL. The image button forces you to pick an uploaded file. I use Flickr & Picasa to host my images so I only want to insert images by their URL.

    Also, CKEditor gives you more options for the images you insert...

    I wasn't impressed with Foliopress at all. I am going back to the dreaded tinymce advanced. At least it works & it pulls in my styles without me having to enter it in on the settings for the plug-in. I don't like its image capabilities either, I am just using Word Press's built in imaging for that. All of my images either go into a nextgen gallery or the image library depending on their use.

    I do wish I could get the ckeditor to work though, it was the best of the bunch.

    Hi,
    For now using CKEditor and Google Page Speed Optimizer is not really good idea, because it's not work... It was reported and confirmed in CKEditor bugtracker: http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/7511...
    So please be patient, it will be fixed asap.

    Greetings
