Visual Editing Tools Not Showing

The upload buttons are not part of the Visual Editor, and display in HTML mode as well. I know this probably sounds like an obvious question, but is the “disable Visual Editor” box checked in your Profile?

Same here. No visual editor or quicktag editor available. 🙁

I am having the same problem. The visual editor never shows up. Even when I spoof as another browser or use another browser (I use Safari on Mac and Windows) on Mac or Windows, the visual editor fails to show up. I just upgraded to today’s nightly build, and still nothing. When I click on the visual editor tab, I get a non-functional page. Upon reloading, the page reverts to html editor.

Which is fine, but I like the convenience of the visual editor.

@minoofar: The first post here mentions that he has tried a clean install with no plug-ins.

@mseliga: I am going to suggest something I suggested in another thread for speeding up post page load-times. Install the following stripped TinyMCE install, and let me know if it makes any difference. It sounds to me like the TinyMCE init is not working for you. One of the frustrating things about TinyMCE is it’s caching mechanism. Anyway, here’s the code, it won’t do anything except strip all extraneous TinyMCE features. Clear your cache and refresh a few times after installing the plugin:

@minoofar: Yes, try re-activating Kimili, then activating my plug-in, and see if your visual editor comes back. Could be one of the TinyMCE plug-ins not behaving with Kimili. I have left three plug-ins loading, which – aside from the Safari fixes – are both essential to TinyMCE working well with WordPress. But for the sake of testing, you could remove those as well by changing this line:

$initarray['plugins'] = 'safari,inlinepopups,wordpress';

to this:

$initarray['plugins'] = '';

It’s here:

Just below the “strip plug-ins” comment.

EDIT: OK I am looking at the Kimili code for you. He has it add the plug-in before init. The code above may remove his plug-in entirely. If it does, try this:

$plugins['kfe'] = WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/kimili-flash-embed/kfe/editor_plugin_tmce3.js';
$initarray['plugins'] = 'kfe';

This should load only his plugin, which he defines as ‘kfe’ in his code.
