 * Hello, I created a new site this morning and I do not have the format tool bar
   showing on the page editor. There is only on button, the add media button.
 * I’ve disabled the only plugins which were installed, Askimet and Hello Dolly.
   I reactivated them, I reinstalled WordPress 4.4.2. All to no avail.
 * I then checked all of my other sites and there again I find no formatting tool
   bar on the page editor.
 * I installed a different browser to see if it occurred in a different browser.
   Still have the same problem.
 * Any other recomendations?
 * **Help! need a solution quick!**
 * Rob

 * Also try:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server
   and/or browser caches. Also, any op cache or content network cache, as well as
   Cloudflare, clear those caches.
 * – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment
   using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions 
   can interfere like plugins).

 * I tried all of that, even logging in from another computer and even my iPhone.
 * I disabled all plugins and didn’t reactivate. Used ccleaner to clean the cache
   on my computer.
 * How do I clean the plugin cache?
 * It seems like a problem with WordPress. I created a fresh new site, nothing added
   to it. Disabled the Hello Dolly and askimet plugins, reinstalled WordPress 4.4.2.
   This a completely blank websites and there is no customization at all. I added
   a new page and there is no format tool bar. I logged in to my other pre
    existing
   websites and have the same problem.

 * Please go to add a new post. In Chrome, upper right corner, more tools then developer
   tools. Click on Console and then reload your page. You should see if any files,
   javascript are loading.

 * The url is chsads.jhost.org.
 * I found something else interesting, the text is white. I was trying to type and
   nothing appeared. then I tried selecting the text and sure enough, it was there.

 * okay, its something on my computer causing the problem. either a windows update,
   malware or virus. I used my other laptop and it works fine.

 * the text appearing in white, and not able to locate any formatting text tool 
   bar.
 * simultaneously, when i tried reactivating jetpack, it says ‘site inaccessible’
 * also, my FB and Linkedin connect also is not estbalishing…
 * i wonder if there is one thread underlying these separate events that i witnessed.
   any thoughts?
