 * The TinyMCE buttons are missing, yeah this is like the millionth topic about 
   this. I’ve read that often the problem is in the tiny_mce_config.php file. I 
   went to search for mine and it doesn’t exist. I then downloaded TinyMCE and it
   isn’t there either. I then went and redownloaded wordpress and it wasn’t there
   either. I am using version 2.7.1.
 * Help?

 * yeah, I have the same problem. Apparently, this missing file causes the malfunctioning
   of the visual editor.
    I copied the tiny_mce_config.php from another wordpress
   installation, but it still doesn’t work. Did you solve the problem? Any thoughts?

 * I’ve just come across this on a number of sites. I found that by installing the
   Tiny MCE Advanced plugin, it solved the issue.

 * It does add a few new functions onto the Tiny MCE interface, but crucially all
   the old ones return as well. Additionally, the content (which was invisible /
   white and only visible when selected) returns to normal.

 * thank you dyates!!! tinymce advanced solved my problem as well.
    i thought the
   problem was linked to my remote server as it did not show up on my local host.
   now it even plays nice with qtranslate and other plugins 🙂
