Does anyone have any advice on what we can do to get this fixed? * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454948) * Hello; sorry for my delay. Been swamped with updates lately. * If you are unable to switch between editors; then most likely there is a javascript error on the page somewhere. You’ll need to troubleshoot what is causing the error. * Please read the following article I wrote: [http://learn.wpeditpro.com/troubleshoot-blank-wordpress-editor/](http://learn.wpeditpro.com/troubleshoot-blank-wordpress-editor/) * Although your editor is not blank… it is still related. * Another option would be to diagnose the javascript via your browser. There is an article here: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors) * If you find any errors; let me know and I’ll try to help find their origin. * Thread Starter [mstudioIL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) * (@mstudioil) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454964) * Hey, I used the Firefox Browser Console and got this errors: When the page loaded: TypeError: document.getElementById(…) is null overlay.js:7333:4 * When I open the editing window: TypeError: window.tinyMCE.get(…) is null js- wp-editor.js:176:5 NS_NOINTERFACE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004002( NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsISupports.QueryInterface] WindowsJumpLists.jsm:457:0 * When I clicked Text or Visual TypeError: switchEditors.switchto is not a function post.php:1:0 * Is this helping you?

We need to check if it is a plugin file; or a main WordPress core file. * If it is the prior; we can disable the plugin and check again. * If it is the latter.. then the troubleshooting process is a little more involved; but completely outlined in the article I linked to above. Perform the steps in the article.. and figure out which plugin is causing the editor to not switch between tabs. * Thread Starter [mstudioIL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) * (@mstudioil) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454972) * Where I can upload screenshot? Can I post it here? * You need only the console screenshot or also the files the error lead to? * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454982) * I just need the console screenshot.

You can upload to your server (or flickr, or whatever), and post the link to the image here. * Thread Starter [mstudioIL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) * (@mstudioil) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454984) * Hey, here the link to the console, if you need more info please tell me * [http://cpanel11.tempdomain.co.il/~otkidsco/err.jpg](http://cpanel11.tempdomain.co.il/~otkidsco/err.jpg) * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454989) * Okay… hover over that top error… on the far right… where it tells you the file location. Can you paste that here? * (You don’t have to include the entire domain, just the location from the WordPress root folder is fine.) * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454990) * By the way… do you still get these errors if you deactivate ALL plugins? * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454991) * Dangit… sorry. * Also, take a look at this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-tab-in-editor-doesnt-work-can-only-use-visual?replies=5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-tab-in-editor-doesnt-work-can-only-use-visual?replies=5) * That seems eerily similar 😉 * Thread Starter [mstudioIL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) * (@mstudioil) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6454992) * Did not tried with deactivate plugins, should I try it? * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6455004) * Absolutely. * I think there is a plugin (or theme) option that is interfering with the loading of the editor. You will need to switch to the default WordPress theme to test if it is a theme option. * Thread Starter [mstudioIL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) * (@mstudioil) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6455008) * I will try it and also contact the theme support. * Thread Starter [mstudioIL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mstudioil/) * (@mstudioil) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6455010) * Fixed it, it because of update to WordPress version 4.3 It did something with the theme, they released update to theme and problem is fixed. * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-between-visual-and-text-modes/#post-6455013) * Beautiful.
