Title: Installed Plugin blank editor Last modified: August 3, 2018 --- # Installed Plugin blank editor * Resolved [Matalina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matalina/) * (@matalina) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-plugin-blank-editor/) * I installed the plugin after upgrading to 4.9.8 and now my post editor is completely empty. I can deactivate the plugin and the old one shows up. Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Moderator [Marius L.

It’s not in the 4.9.7 that I uploaded. I expected 4.9.8 to upload all the files it didn’t give me an error. * Moderator [Marius L. J.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clorith/) * (@clorith) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-plugin-blank-editor/#post-10552856) * Ahh, so there are two possible reasons for this: - There is no `.htaccess` file in your WordPress directory, when you saved the permalinks page it should have told you that you need to manually save some content to this file if WordPress could not make it by it self - Your Apache webserver does not have `mod_rewrite` enabled, it is needed for WordPress to use pretty permalinks. If you are the server owner this can be added with `a2enmod rewrite`, but you will need to restart Apache after enabling it. * Thread Starter [Matalina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matalina/) * (@matalina) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-plugin-blank-editor/#post-10552875) * I didn’t get any errors with .htaccess I added that file. Let me check if mod_rewrite is enabled with a fresh install that’s likely the case. * enabled rewrite, restarted apache2 and redid the permalinks and nothing. Heading home so will check back for the next suggestion when I can. * Moderator [Marius L.

(and settings is your Permalinks set to?) * Thread Starter [Matalina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matalina/) * (@matalina) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-plugin-blank-editor/#post-10552959) * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] * # END WordPress * Moderator [Marius L.

(See the [Digital Ocean article on setting up .htaccess support](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-mod_rewrite-for-apache-on-ubuntu-14-04#step-3-—-setting-up-htaccess) for details) * Thread Starter [Matalina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matalina/) * (@matalina) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-plugin-blank-editor/#post-10552991) * Thank you. That’s what it was. I had to go into the conf file for the virutal host to do it. Setting up servers is not my day job so I forgot a step. Thank you! * Moderator [Marius L.
