   I recently upgraded my theme to a genesis/lifestyle theme. In order for it to run, I had to upgrade to latest wordpress. Because I had no access to my dashboard, I manually downloaded the wordpress 3.1.2 and manually upload all files and directories except wp-content.

   I now have 2 problems. Small problem is I cannot drag and drop widgets or custom menus - can live with that.

   Big problem is when I go to edit a post or page, all I get is blank screen in the visual tab. No editing buttons or anything. I switch over to html and that seems find. I switch back to visual the whole "window" where I would normally type disappears alltogether. And then, I cannot even switch over to html.

   I've tried re-uploading all the files but it seems to have no affect.

   Does sound familiar to anyone and can anyone help me.

   thanks,
   jack

   switch to default twenty ten theme to see if the problem is theme related.

   Gave it a try.

   no effect, the "visual" editor screen starts blank with no edit buttons, then disappears alltogether when I to to html editor, then come back.

   By the way, I went back to the old theme I was using before and no difference, so it is most likely not theme related.

   On another note, I tried updating an article through the html editor and pasted a resource back into it.

   the result as you can see here is a wreck - have no idea what is happening behind the scenes that is causing this:

   I keep the older wp-admin directory and renamed it to wp-admin old before uploading.

   Do you think there would be any value in using the the old wp-admin and see if that will restore everything, or would I be making it worse?

   thanks,
   jack
