After tried several suggestions and read my eyes red it becomes clear that the edtior in 2.5 have a lot of problems. I am pretty sure that some of the extremely smart brains behind wordpress are thinking of solutions and know they will appear soon. Perhaps WP 2.6 are just around the corner.
I am downgrading until a more bullet proof editor are available, and I think I'm not alone. Please keep up the good work, WP are fantastic, but the editor i 2.5 aren't. Not yet.
New version of the editor are needed (20 posts)

I am afraid I have to agree. Although I won't be downgrading, I will look for some desktop software alternative to the editor. Really sorry about that.

Hi. I have two WP sites (http://bellasvenezolanas.org and http://hotbellasvenezolanas.org), and after I made the upgrade, in http://bellasvenezolanas.org I can´t use the formatting options in the "Write" and "Manage" posts... I can only have the html feature on, and I can´t change to Visual...
Did anybody else found the same thing?
(My e-mail is bellasvenezolanas@yahoo.com). I have the "My simplified" theme...

I'm having the same issue! I can't use the built in WYSIWYG editor - only HTML... Help please!
-
all works fine for me. have you all made sure your plugins are compatible? try deactivating them all, clear browser cache, then see if the editor works. if it does, one of your plugins is interfering

tyhurd, make sure you upload all the file in ascii mode with your ftp and all the images in binary with your ftp.
I will bet this will solve most people problems.

I have the same problem with the visual editor, it being stuck in HTML mode. Rechecked the FTP uploading, disabled all plugins, etc. Still stuck in HTML mode. It's pissing my friend off (he also writes for my blog)

Nope, didn't work. I don't have TinyMCE anyways.

andrew_t29, did you see the large js file in step 4? Was it as described there? If yes, what is the first js error you see in Firebug?
-

Wow I'm such a WP noob. I had no idea what TinyMCE was, i thought it was a plugin or something...
Anyways, the file was not as described in step 4, I tried the refresh thing even though in FF the PHP file shows up as blank. I guess that's normal...? Anyways, Firebug showed zero JS errors...
Maybe my webhost is causing it? Apparently the host also blocks the plugin auto upgrades...

After the second time I uploaded the TinyMCE plugin, I don't know how or why, but it works know.
I would like an explanation on why I had to do that with one of my accounts. The other, the same WP on the same server worked fine from the beginning...

TinyMCE is very complex application written entirely in JavaScript. It is hosted on the server and runs in the browser. Unfortunately there are some external factors that can affect it.
When TinyMCE doesn't work (or doesn't work right) after an upgrade, in nearly all cases the problem is caused by caching. Could be the browser's cache or a network cache between the computer (where TinyMCE runs) and the server (where TinyMCE is hosted). Normally js and css files are kept in caches longer and are checked less frequently as they rarely change.
Sometimes loading the file directly in the browser and force-refreshing it a few times (while holding down Ctrl/Shift) may force a network cache to check for newer file and update itself.
In any case, after waiting for several hours, could be even couple of days, the network caches will update and TinyMCE will start working again.
bellasvenezolanas, since network cache is stored by domain, not by server, there probably was some stale cache for one of your sites and you had to wait fir it to refresh.
Andrew_t29, no, the file in step 4 shouldn't be blank. This file holds all js for TinyMCE plus all of its plugins. It should either be a text file or a garbled characters (bad compression).
Can you try the WordPress 2.6 demo site http://wp.chrisjohnston.org/ and see if it works right. If yes, download the testing_tinymce plugin from the other post and see if that changes anything when accessing the file directly.

The file is blank when I try to view it in Firefox. Though when I download it off FireFTP all the text is there. It's not garbled though it doesn't look as described in the thread you linked to a few posts up.
I'll try using the plugin and see if it works.

Activated Testing TinyMCE, still no visual editor after a couple force refreshes. Sounds kinda stupid, but the visual editor *does* work on OSX, right...?
-

@andrew_t29, sure it works on OSX, works nicely in Safari 3.1 too. I've tried accessing tiny_mce_config.php on your site. It's not completely blank! There's a warning that one of the php functions used by tiny_mce_config.php has been disabled by your host.
It would have worked nicely if there wasn't any warning message, but that's probably set up globally by your hosting company. To fix it, comment out line 15 in tiny_mce_config.php from:
$path = realpath($path);to:
// $path = realpath($path); -

Checked the file and Firefox does show the warning now. Gonna try the fix and see if it works...
*EDIT*Used that fix, now Firefox displays the php file. Then tried to write a post and the visual editor works perfectly now. Thanks a lot!
