 * I looks like a theme related issue here with my installation. I use a child-theme
   for twentyfifteen.
    Switching the theme restores functionality. But I don’t know
   why yet. I is definately an error with my child-theme here, since the error is
   not showing up in twentyfifteen.

 * Have a look into your functions.php and check if there is some line like this
   one:
    `add_filter( 'tiny_mce_plugins', 'disable_emojis_tinymce' );`
 * It was in my init-hook instructions to disable emojis. Maybe this helps.

 * I think that there is a communication bug between the pre-installed Gutenberg-
   editor in wordpress and the Classic-editor plugin.
 * When Gutenberg was introduced it wasn’t integrated directly ind wordpress and
   there were several problems with it so the recomended solution was to uninstalle
   the Gutenbergeditor and install a new plugin with the classic editor.
    Later 
   the Gutenberg was properly integrated into wordpress and i think that it was 
   ther my problems began.
 * A couple of days ago i was at the brinck of giving up and was sitting lokking
   through all my installed plugins – and decided that maybe i sholuld give the 
   gutenberg editor a new try so without thinking i went to wordpress.org and installed
   this version of the Gutenbergeditor
 * [https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/](https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/)
 * without thinking that Gutenberg now actually is integrated in wordpress.
 * But before i went on to deactivate and uninstall the Classic-editor i just clicked
   on “Add new page” AND TO MY BIG SURPRISE
 * THE COMPLETE TOOLBAR SHOWED UP IN THE EDITOR 🙂 🙂
 * So I didn’t do anything more except a celebration dance (my wife gave me a weird
   look)
 * Now my complete list over installed editorplugin and extra looks like this:

 * This unexpected solution worked for me – maybe it will work for you
    (I’ll cross
   my fingers for you)

 * I already solved my problem yesterday by deactivating that filter…
 * But you have an interesting combo of editor-plugins there. Didn’t know WP Edit.
 * I personally switch to Gutenberg now. Even if it feels still like beta in some
   areas.
