   Hi,

   The WYSIWYG editor has disappeared from our post and page view when adding or updating - any one know how to fix this please?

   Regards

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   Cheers esmi,

   I will look into these options tomorrow.

   I have tried this and even with all plugins disabled I'm still not getting the WYSIWYG editor.

   Any other ideas?

   Check that you haven't disabled it in your profile.

   The only items unchecked in the profile are:
   - Disable the visual editor when writing
   - Enable keyboard shortcuts for comment moderation

   Will take a good look in my settings as well now but can't remember changing anything there!

   Did you try resetting the plugins folder?

   May have to try this tomorrow. We are a little wary of tinkering on the database in case we break something (our knowledge of such things is fairly basic).

   Will that mean disabling all the plugins again? :-(

   Yes it will.

    Going to try the re-setting of plugins folder over the weekend. Can I come back to you (esmi) if I get stuck?

    This is driving us crazy!!! Tried all options above with no luck.

    Still got no WYSIWYG editor icons - see screenshot:

    Any other suggestions out there?

    Cheers

    First go here, http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp to see if your java is correct and working.

    If so, delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folder. DO NOT delete the wp-content folder.

    Get a new unzipped version of wordpress and copy the wp-includes and wp-admin folders to the server. Use a ftp program like filezilla.
