 * Since about a week ago, I’ve completely lost the ability to use the visual editor.
   It’s only giving me the option to use the html editor. I’ve changed me theme 
   back to the 2015 theme to see if it was a theme issue and that did not resolve
   it.

 * Hi Lauryn,
 * While you have the 2015 theme active, try temporarily deactivating all plugins
   and see if it comes back. If so, start turning them back on one by one until 
   you find the one that breaks it.

 * Nope. I tried that too.

 * Well I really don’t want to admit how simple the fix was…
    Somehow it was disabled
   in my profile?

 * Nice one! 🙂 That’s an easy one to overlook. Glad you found the fix.
