 * Hi, the visual editor for my blog is missing as is the HTML label. I have tried
 * – deactivating all plugins,
    – relabeling the plugins folder to pluginsXXX – 
   using the default 2011 theme
 * all to no avail. Can anyone help?

 * Those are always the worst and tough to get to the bottom. I think it’s host 
   or PC related but I’ve never been able to reproduce what you’re seeing.
 * Have you tried adding `define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );` to your `wp-config.
   php` file? Make a backup copy before you edit that file.

 * Yes, but the problem still persists. Any other advice?

 * Can you post a link to your `phpinfo()` output? I want to see if I can do anything
   on my test installation to reproduce the error.

 * I discovered it’s definitely something to do with my MacPro, Safari and Firefox.
   The visual editor appears in Safari on my MacBook Pro and in Opera on my MacPro.
   How do I access my phpinfo() output?

 * > he visual editor appears in Safari on my MacBook Pro and in Opera on my MacPro.
 * That’s really good news as that narrows down the issue to your MacPro.
 * To create a `phpinfo()` page, just put this one line into a text file on your
   web server:
 *     ```
       <? phpinfo(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Save that file with the `.php` extension such as `my-phpinfo.php` to your `wp-
   content` directory.
 * Visit your site like so
 * [http://your-wordpress-url-here/wp-content/my-phpinfo.php](http://your-wordpress-url-here/wp-content/my-phpinfo.php)
 * And that will give you a web page of what PHP is setup for.

 * That’s good, I’ll install all of the Apache modules on my crash test dummy and
   see if I can replicate it on my iMac.

 * Mandatory note of caution: As it’s a holiday today (I’m in NY) it may take a 
   me couple of days. 😉
 * Your problem comes up for some people, but I’ve not been able to reproduce it
   so getting to the bottom is a pain.
 * Fortunately it seems to be an environmental thing meaning your MacPro + your 
   installation but not your MacBook + opera.

 * I had this problem a while back and downloaded the “Delete-Revision” plugin. 
   I emptied out all my revisions and the Visual Editor came right back.
