# Caption editor TinyMCE doesn’t show

 * Hi, I’m having trouble with the slide captions. When I select “Manual entry,”
   the TinyMCE editor doesn’t appear for me to write the caption.

 * If I disable “Enable TinyMCE” in the plugin settings, it shows the basic textarea.

    - I tried WordPress 6.9 and 7.0
    - I’m using Metaslider version 3.109.0
    - I tried a rollback to version 3.100.0, and it still doesn’t work
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@yaelduckwen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaelduckwen/). Thanks for
   using MetaSlider. This is most likely to be a plugin conflict. There may be another
   plugin that is mistakenly trying to load conflicting code on the MetaSlider screen.
 * Do you have a test site, or the ability to disable plugins one-by-one to look
   for conflicts?

 * Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I put the site into maintenance mode, deactivated
   almost all plugins (leaving only the most basic ones), and changed the theme 
   to Twenty Twenty-Five, but the TinyMCE editor still isn’t showing up.
 * Also, the browser console shows these errors:

 * Hi [@yaelduckwen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yaelduckwen/)
 * Likely another plugin is conflicting with TinyMCE. Would you mind deactivating(
   NOT uninstalling) the other plugins, except MetaSlider? This may tell us the 
   source of the conflict.

    - I see you already deactivated almost all the plugins. Which are the remaining
      active plugins?
    - If you create a new slideshow and add new slides, does TinyMCE works fine?
