I have a typical problem. I've upgraded to WP2.1 and WYSIWYG Editor doesn't work.
- WYSIWYG Editor is turned ON in my profile
- I turned off all of my plugins
If I turn WYSIWYG off, I can see HTML buttons. when I turn WYSIWYG on, I see only a blank textarea.

I had the same problem (see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/102581)
Applying this patch http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/3144/3144-gzipoptoins-tinymce.patch solved that problem for me.
In UNI*X
cd wordpress/wp-includes/js/tinymce
patch -p0 < 3144-gzipoptoins-tinymce.patch
After that the visual editor works fine for me.

I'm having the same problem on my test blog and am running on a virtual server. (Haven't upgraded to 2.1 on my live blogs yet - 2.0.7 is working just fine). Is there another way to apply the patch without going into unix?

You could apply the patch by hand. Make a backup copy of
wordpress/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php
And go to line 131 and replace the line
if ((in_array('gzip', $encodings) || in_array('x-gzip', $encodings) || isset($_SERVER['---------------'])) && function_exists('ob_gzhandler') && !ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) {
With the changed line
if ((in_array('gzip', $encodings) || in_array('x-gzip', $encodings) || isset($_SERVER['---------------'])) && function_exists('ob_gzhandler') && !ini_get('zlib.output_compression') && get_settings('gzipcompression')) {
If it blows up due to a typo just put the backup copy back.

Thanks, I'll try that.

In an upgrade to a live site, I've tried applying the patch by hand and uploading the changed file, but the WYSIWYG editor still does not display.
In a fresh installation for a new blog, I did not have to apply the patch. The WYSIWYG editor worked out of the starting gate.

Mine was a fresh installation. The test blog was set up to run 2.1 to iron out any bugs. I haven't dared any upgrades yet.
But it's working now -- yay! And many thanks.

jdembowski: i'm a novice, so bear with me. i tried applying the fix you recommended to nicobet, to no avail. i tripled checked the code i pasted into the tinymce.php file, and it was accurate.
i want a WYSIWYG editor much like the last version of word press. why they would take that away, I have no idea. the new editor is clunky and lame.
oh, i just installed 2.1, for your (or anyone else's) reference.

Dunno what to say other than "Good luck!" :) My test blog was a fresh 2.1 install on a different server and the visual editor worked out of the box. On my real blog on a different server, I went from 2.0.7 -> 2.1 and visual editor gave up the ghost. The patch fixed my problem.
If you're using a Linux or UNIX install and can used patch -p0 <patch.txt then I recommend it as it's cleaner and less prone to typo's (which I do all the time). It's likely you are experiencing a different problem.

Horay! It is now fixed for me. Many thanks.
