# Post Format menu missing

 * I am running the latest version of the Thesis theme.
 * My Post Format menu has gone missing. How do I bring it back? Not only is my 
   Post Format menu missing but my WP Zemanta plugin cannot load.
 * I have just deleted all plugins other than the two that came with WP, Akismet
   and Hello Dolly. My next step would be to start removing all plugins, say five
   at a time, from my Firefox browser. I would rather have simply deactivated the
   plugins in WP and the same in Firefox addons, but my IT said it would be better
   to remove them there, as well.
 * Help?
 * Thank you in advance.
 * Lawrence

 * Hi Lawrence,
 * When you say your Post Format menu, I’m not quite sure what you mean. If you 
   mean the buttons and boxes above the text area that come up when you are writing
   posts and pages (known as the Visual Editor or WYSIWYG Editor), check your Visual
   Editor is not disabled in your profile. To do this, click on your name at the
   top of the dashboard (after the ‘Howdy!’ greeting) and at towards the top of 
   the page that comes up, make sure the ‘Disable Visual Editor’ box is not ticked.
 * I suspect you may mean something else though…?
 * All the best,
 * Rory. 🙂

 * wp-rory,
 * Thanks for trying to help.
 * The Visual Editor is not disabled. And, yes, it is the buttons and boxes above
   the text area that are missing when I use Firefox, version 3.0.8, on this particular
   installation only for this one URL only on this PC only. I can see these buttons
   and boxes on another URL using Firefox. Using IE8 I can see the buttons and boxes
   on both URLs, and, at my shop, my IT can see the buttons and boxes on both URLs
   in Firefox.
 * I am beside myself. I don’t know what to do. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox
   while deleting the entries for Firefox in the Program files.
 * I can think of only one more thing and that is to ask for help in the Thesis 
   theme forum.
 * Lawrence

 * Lawrence,
 * Are you by any chance using the No-Script plugin in your Firefox browser? If 
   so you may want to disable it, close and re-open Firefox and then try to access
   your admin area and see if the Visual Editor is back with all of its functions.
 * No-Script can block a lot of things so that is just something that came to mind.

 * Yikes, I’m missing the formatting menu also. Using Firefox 3.5.7 on a Mac but
   Safari doesn’t show the formatting menu either. It’s weird, when the Edit page
   loads, the formatting menu shows up for second, then disappears and only shows
   the More and the Kitchen Sink buttons. Clicking More just adds some code to my
   post. Clicking Kitchen Sink shows the paragraph format menu as a text link. Nothing
   else.
 * Re-uploading /wp-admin didn’t fix anything. Any ideas?

 * Figured it out. TinyMCE was screwed up. A few files were not uploaded correctly.
   I just deleted and re-uploaded the entire folder: /wp-includes/js/tinymce and
   it fixed the issue.
