# Basic page editor functions do not work

 * I just uploaded my wordpress site from a localhost to a live server (largely 
   with the help of the guys at name-cheap who helped me out. I suck at back end
   stuff) but some of my embedded bandcamp content did not show up correctly. So
   i hopped over to the page editor only to find out it was blank. I tried to switch
   from “visual editor” to “text” but it wouldn’t let me. I’d click on the button
   but nothing would happen. At first I thought it was my plugins. i reinstalled
   all of my page editor plugins, but the problem still persisted. I then tried 
   deactivating them only to see the problem is with the stock page editor, not 
   the page builder plugins I have. Another thing I found is that the page was actually
   not blank, but the text was showing up as white on the page editor, rendering
   it practically invisible.

 * Try adding `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);` to your `wp-config.php` file
   just below the `define('DB_HOST'` line.
 * To do so, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and edit the file 
   with a [plain text editor](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files#Text_Editors).
