Title: Editor Broken Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Editor Broken * [SRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/srh/) * (@srh) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-broken-1/) * I always cringe when people fix what isn’t broken and the changes to the editor are no exception. * Simply stated, the visual mode doesn’t work for me, at all. The content simply isn’t visible in that mode. Text mode works, but that is needlessly time consuming to work with. * I’ve tried reinstalling WP 4.1 to avail. * Any suggestions?

I tried deleting all plug ins as suggested above but it didn’t make a difference. Is it possible to roll back my site to the previous (no problem) site ? * If so how ? * Thanks * [Radices](https://wordpress.org/support/users/radices/) * (@radices) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-broken-1/#post-5606594) * [@davidbruce88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidbruce88/) Please start a new post.

The only way I can edit is in text mode and that provides only a narrow column to work in. Three other sites I run, have not had this problem. * If I have to tear it all down and start from scratch, I can guarantee I will strip out the code that permits automatic updates and maintain a strict, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, policy. * Thread Starter [SRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/srh/) * (@srh) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-broken-1/#post-5606806) * I’ve noticed others posting similar problems, (visual editor not functioning, editor is narrow in width, etc.) This leads me to ask a question. Is there a way to totally replace the editor. I’m guessing there isn’t, but I’m grasping at straws, trying to avoid having to scrap everything on the site and start from scratch. * [Hajnalka Modis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hajnalka-modis/) * (@hajnalka-modis) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-broken-1/#post-5606875) * Hey, * Are you still having this problem? My visual editor just stopped working all of a sudden the other day and I cannot seem to figure out how to fix the problem( diactivated the plugins, cleared the browsing data, etc., but no luck). Working in the text editor is very slow, so I would love to get back to the visual mode.. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-broken-1/#post-5606876) * **[@hajnalka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hajnalka/) Modis** – please start your own thread per the forum guidelines – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post) * This problem can be caused by a wide variety of things – and your site is not identical to anyone else’s. * Start a new one here: [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform) * And include a link to your site, so someone can more likely help you.
