I am having the same problem. It worked for awhile after the upgrade but now all controls on visual editor are gone except for upload/insert.
I’m having the same issue as well. Has anybody figured it out yet?
If you are desperate for it to work and do not care about validation: go into your file manager/ftp to edit your files. Navigate to the admin folder and edit the file that is named something like “admin-header.php” (I can’t recall if this is exact) and remove the doc type which looks something like “<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Trans//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-Trans.dtd”>.” Once again, this isn’t exact. Let me know how this goes.
Also, it should only be a few lines down. Good luck.
Removed: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
Still not working.
Hi lainestl – I tried adding:
define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
But that didn’t work. It inserted the code into the top of my header. Do I add it to the wp-config.php file? And does it have to be in a certain place?
Thanks for your help. 🙂
The define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); has to be in wp-config.php near the top, it won’t work in the header. Also removing the DOCTYPE from the header would only break things (it puts the browser in quirks mode).
On some installs a file is missing after the upgrade, check if wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.js.gz file exists and upload it with FTP if it doesn’t (it is in the installation package).
@azaozz THANK YOU!!!!! Your suggestion worked. The tinymce.js.gz file was not in the wp-includes file. So I FTPed it and now my visual editor is back. Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Tammy
Thanks @lainestl
I placed define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); in my wp-config.php file (I placed it under the define ('WPLANG', 'nl_NL');)
It works!
After 2.7 the image uploader didnt work. After 2.8 the visual editor didnt work. Both times just reuploading the wordpress files via ftp got it working. It was just a missing file that didnt get installed correctly I guess.
Thanks for all the tips. I will try them out. I don’t think it is WP issue, because after installing a different browser (I am currently using Firefox), everything is working fine. I just don’t want to use a different browser *sigh*…So hopefully I can locate the file you are all talking about…
I have a new site in 2.8 no visual editor
I added
define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); in my wp-config.php file
and the visual editor is back Hurrah Hurrah
Thank you
Can anyone help me? I’ve tried all of the above, but still have no visual editor.
I checked to make sure that I had the wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.js.gz file. I did. I re-uploaded it to be sure there was no error.
I added the define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); term to my wp-config.php file. It looks like this
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxx’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘xxxxxxxxxx’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );
// Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won’t have to remember the phrases later,
Still no visual editor. I’m lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
