 * Seeing as this has so many positive reviews I’m thinking that this might be an
   issue with another plugin. Here’s whats happening though. First every time I 
   load a page where the editor loads first, tinymce loads below it, so both of 
   them are showing at once. It’s actually kind of cool because you can use both
   things at once but I’m guessing it’s not suppose to happen that way.
 * Second, which I actually thought ruined my site at first until I deactivated 
   the plugin, was that every so often it completly hacks up the code on the page
   either

 * The page actually looks fine when it renders, but it’s clearly doing something
   strange.

 * These tags has no connection with this plugin. It doesn’t change anything by 
   it self. The plugin is not working with the DB or content itself. Check your 
   other installed plugins.

 * I’ve encountered the double display of visual and text mode as well. The end-
   user made changes in the visual editor, but they were not saved.
 * Also, the issue is intermittent. If I deactivate the plugin, then reactivate 
   it, the behavior goes away.
 * Just as an FYI for you, the installed plugins on my site that change the admin
   area are…

 * It’s very strange behavior. It shouldn’t work that way. What version of WP do
   you use? Can you share a screenshot of this double editor?

 * Hey zotsf I stopped using this plugin due to the code being distorted so I’m 
   not sure what was causing the double editor. However gravity forms and
    simple
   page ordering were both active on my site as well so I’m guessing it was one 
   of them.
 * As for the horribly distorted html code I referred to, the problem is this [plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/preserved-html-editor-markup/)
 * This same issue happened on another site I was using with the preserved-html-
   editor-markup plugin and the Visual Composer plugin.
