 * Hi,
    I´m using the last version 4.4 of WordPress, from yesterday I can´t switch
   form text editor to visual editor
 * I clear cache, and desactivated the plugins but the problem remains
 * Right now, I notice that other users (I am the super admin) can switch to the
   visual mode, besides using the Firefox I can see what I think is an error in 
   Javascript code
 * What can I do? Thanks a lot!
 * if ( typeof aiosp_data != ‘undefined’ ) {
    jQuery.each( aiosp_data, function(
   index, value ) { // aiosp_data[index] = value.json.replace(/"/g, ‘”‘); // aiosp_data[
   index] = jQuery.parseJSON( value ); if ( index == 0 ) { if ( typeof value.condshow
   == ‘undefined’ ) { aiosp_data[index].condshow = []; } } else { if ( typeof value.
   condshow != ‘undefined’ ) { aiosp_data[0].condshow = jQuery.merge( aiosp_data[
   0].condshow, value.condshow ); }

 * Try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (
   theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * Same problem here, no visual settings on editor just text. Tried changing themes,
   deactivated all plugins, same with page builder, cleared cache, restarted PC.

 * Try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/) again and delete
   then replace your copies of everything **except** the `wp-config.php` file and
   the `/wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some
   uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete
   the original files before replacing them.

 * Went and did it, 😊 anything technical I am a idiot. Have a slight idea what 
   you’re talking about yet early experiences Murphy’ law come into effect. How 
   about I CCP on what I have every page. Save them some where and come back and
   do my thing. After reinstall. Been thinking of reworking anyway. May be safe 
   downloading wordpress? Then? And no worries. Time for it redo doesn’t matter 
   as long I have my text saved somewhere.

 * Funny you answer just now. I am not smart cookie. While watching a movie got 
   to thinking. The old poster with two vultures one saying dammit gotta kill something.
   So if not smart gots try something. What i did CCP from every post from editor.
   The pasted each in post in draft at wordpress.com. Didn’t take long maybe 30 
   minutes. So each post had whole content.
 * Anyway then took the plugins WordPress Database Reset to try. It did wiped every
   clean. Looked and the visual editor still screwed up. Well damn one more thing
   to try. Reinstall it from dashboard. Hot damn back to what it should be. The 
   visual editor good working order so far.
 * I mostly use page builder on everything so went back to WP.com took the saved
   content posted it in new post. I know everything doing this and that set it like
   I had. Wont take long and worth it to get editor back to normal.
 * I guess I can basically reinstalled WordPress 4.4 “Clifford” back to everything
   to normal. And hopefully with no more problems.

 * Thanks, one thing about it. Going to take a little time to get my posts as before.
   No sweat and the half pass perfectionist do things a little better. I do plenty
   of patience and doing anyway so its all good.
