# Missing Text (HTML) Editor button

 * Salutations
 * After the most recent WordPress update (just updated today) my text (html) editor
   has gone missing. The visual editor is still there and the Edit buttons are still
   there. I temporarily deactivated my WP-Edit plugin and the text editor button
   re-appeared. I tried to reinstall the WP-Edit plugin again but the text editor
   button disappeared again. (Yes I purged the browser cache and even restarted 
   in between installs.)
 * I don’t think I see anything that disables the Text editor, only something that
   disables the Visual editor in the main WordPress settings.
    I don’t recall seeing
   anything in WP edit settings that allows you to hide the Text Editor button.
 * The unusual thing is if I try to disable the visual editor through WordPress 
   settings, it shows me a text editor by default but without any buttons.
 * I’m using windows 8.1, the latest chrome (tested this in the latest firefox too)
   in case that is relevant.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thank you.
    Diana

 * Sorry I found the answer.
 * In WP Edit Settings->User Specific->Hide Text tab
    Uncheck the box beside it.
 * Cheers

 * Hey Diana,
    Sorry for my delay.
 * Glad you got it working properly.
 * That option should have been de-selected by default. Most all options have to
   be enabled by the user. I did this intentionally, so the user would “hopefully”
   remember where a particular setting was enabled.
 * But, we’ve all searched for that “rogue” setting… trust me 🙂
 * Thanks for coming back to update your answer and post your solution. Much appreciated.
 * Please have a wonderful week.
