Try deactivate the plugin first and check if your visual editor get it work ?
Then try reactivate one by one and cross check whether visual editor is working?
Thanks,

I tried that. Still not working.
Sadly, a handful of people have had issues with 3.9 and the post editor.
The tl;dr is that a plugin (or theme) you’re using is breaking the visual editor. The best way to diagnose would be via your browser and the console. We have some directions here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors
Doing that will help you narrow down WHAT plugin it might be, as well as what it’s missing.
If that doesn’t help, make sure you’ve worked your way through the master list:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-39-master-list
I’m not a programmer. I’ve looked through the master list and nothing I’m using is on that list. I’m not entirely sure how to use a read the debugger. Where is wp-config.php? Is there a phone line that can walk me through fixing this?
Ok, I uninstalled my theme and replaced it with Twenty Fourteen, the visual editor worked. So, now i know it’s an issue with my theme (Prolio). How do I fix it?
Side note: When I reinstalled my theme, it took away all my style settings. Any way to change them back?
side side note: is there a patch for this being worked on?
I have deactivated ALL plugins, changed the theme to 2014 (visual editor didn’t work) 2012 (didn’t work) reinstalled wp-3.9 (still does not work)
At this point I don’t know what to do, I sure wish we had some warning this may happen, I simply would have waited for a while.
Me too, its causing me horrendous problems. I’m just finishing a 100 page site with dozen or more pictures on some pages, and upgraded to 3.9 yesterday. Now I can’t edit picture parameters, such as padding outside the box, etc. In fact i cant change height of pix either. Total disaster.
Is there any way I can step backwards and use 3.8 again?
@jdwiden – you will need to contact your theme’s developer and ask them if they are working on updating the theme to work with WordPress 3.9 (or if they’re even aware that it doesn’t work). You can find the theme developer’s information in the stylehseet for the theme.
I also recommend that if you make any styling changes to a theme that you use the Child Theme capability that WordPress has. This way when themes are updated, your customizations won’t be lost.
As for patch – that is really up to your theme’s developer whether they will update their theme to be compatible with 3.9. I don’t think WordPress is going back to the old visual editor. The new visual editor is more up to date with web standards, fixes some old JavaScript code, and actually has improved copy and paste functionality from MS Word.
Hey Bem, I’ve been in contact with them and they’re working on a patch. Unfortunately I have content that needs to get out soon and I’m unsure when their fix will be released. Is there a way to revert back to 3.8 until everything is settled?
