Does it happen with any other theme? Have you tried using a bundled theme like Twenty Fourteen|Fifteen?
I haven’t tried. This is a live site and I don’t want to swap out themes in live-traffic if I can avoid it. I’ll talk to my team and see if we can experiment with it late night. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi TJ Kelly, do you have news about it? I’ve the same issue, load_scripts.php is blocking everything..
It did end up being a theme problem. Updated the theme and the error was resolved.
My host has pointed me towards this thread because the Visual editor is not working in a WordPress version 4.3.1. I was using the latest version of the Twenty Sixteen theme, but have activated the current version of Twenty Twelve it has not resolved the issue. I have also tried to see if using the TinyMCE Advanced plug-in would resolve the problem, it does not.
I’ve used the Console log to try and determine the issue. I get these errors when I’m at an existing post and trying to use the Visual editor. (NOTE: I changed the “domain” name to keep bots away)

I am at a loss as to what the issue is. I had originally thought it was a permissions issue. I guess the host disagrees, since I was sent to this post.
