 * was updating a page when I noticed a couple of things. First the image that’s
   supposed to be behind all the text as a featured image was absent. Oh, it was
   still selected in the editor but after my revision it stopped showing. Tried 
   to reupload and reinsert it and just got a page that never loaded after the requester.
   Then i noticed that the “text” button don’t work. I tried to switch from Visual
   to Text to tweek my font settings in the code (no font button in the editor) 
   but click as I might, it remained on the Visual tab. Then i tried pressing other
   things like the Screen or Help drop down and they don’t work either. Odd though,
   on every other page but the editor page (for erither post or page) all the click
   to drop down or roll up stuff works fine. Just the Editor is goofed up.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and wp-
   config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new
   ones.

 * The only thing that’s changed is the last time I hit Update (wp was updated and
   jetpack), and I don’t use any editor plugins (though I just installed wp edit
   to see if that solves anything- it didn’t though it’s a great plugin).
