It’s rare, but some people solved the issue by downloading the WP 3.5.1 zip file then uploading it manually using a FTP client software like FileZilla. Make sure to back it up first just in case.
Doing this now, will update.
As a side note, I also noticed that while the USE GOOGLE LIBRARIES plugin did get my editor back, that when I switch to HTML mode it goes away, and in Text mode the LINK features do not work.
More importantly I discovered that I can not drag menu items around on the menu screen any more…that one is a BIG DEAL.
I noticed in Firebug that I do not get script errors on the actual site, but in the admin (on the Dashboard main screen) I get 4 JS errors:
TypeError: can’t convert undefined to object
http://clevelandapplefestival.org/wp-includes/js/media-models.min.js?ver=3.5.1
Line 1
TypeError: c.widget is not a function
http://clevelandapplefestival.org/wp-includes/js/wp-pointer.min.js?ver=20111129a
Line 1
TypeError: f(…).on is not a function
http://clevelandapplefestival.org/wp-includes/js/media-models.min.js?ver=3.5.1
Line 1
TypeError: c.on is not a function
http://clevelandapplefestival.org/wp-admin/js/common.min.js?ver=3.5.1
Line 1
I logged into my WP 3.5.1 site’s wp-admin with Firefox version 20.0.1, I don’t see any of those errors with Firebug Console.
I’ve downloaded your
http://clevelandapplefestival.org/wp-includes/js/media-models.min.js?ver=3.5.1
file to compare with original media-models.min.js from WP 3.5.1 file, it’s exactly the same.
Have you tried accessing your site with a different computer? Or see if you have some kind of caching turned on for the site? How about clearing your browser cache?
Just tested it on a computer at a completely different location. Same JS errors.
That’s indeed weird. If you want me to log into your admin panel to see if I can spot the same error, I can do that.
@self Hosted WP.com – please keep help here on the forums – I know you just want to help and that’s much appreciated, but it’s really not great to ask people to give strangers their login info.
@wpyogi I agree, your concern is valid. I will keep that in mind. Just thought there isn’t any other way to see those errors if that only happends in the backend in this case.
I do appreciate it but the errors were copied and pasted above verbatim.
I know a bit of JS/jQuery but not enough to know if this would cause a problem…the code below is from the dashboard APPEARANCE > MENU page. It looks like there is a reference to jQuery before the call to jQuery:
<script type="text/javascript">
addLoadEvent = function(func){if(typeof jQuery!="undefined")jQuery(document).ready(func);else if(typeof wpOnload!='function'){wpOnload=func;}else{var oldonload=wpOnload;wpOnload=function(){oldonload();func();}}};
var ajaxurl = '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
pagenow = 'nav-menus',
typenow = '',
adminpage = 'nav-menus-php',
thousandsSeparator = ',',
decimalPoint = '.',
isRtl = 0;
</script>

Realized that the ability to drag menu items was a plugin issue but the editor issues are separate as that doesn’t work with all plugins disabled.
