Title: Visual Editor Not Working Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Visual Editor Not Working * [jbrewlet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrewlet/) * (@jbrewlet) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/) * I have had an issue with the Visual Editor Icon set missing since build 3.1. Till now I have just lived with this [Image1](http://i.imgur.com/HTGPB.png) * We have been using a WordPress Theme generated by [http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/](http://www.yvoschaap.com/wpthemegen/) for over a year now. * When I click Upload/Insert the box is rendered far down on the bottom left and its unusable (full page screen capture to show this) [Image2](http://i.imgur.com/0rX4z.png) * I have tested by deactivating all plugins and re-installing 3.3 which seems to not matter. I still cannot use (or see) the Editor Visual Icon set. I tried other themes which did not make any difference with or without plugin’s activated. This was also no help [http://en.support.wordpress.com/missing-visual-editor/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/missing-visual-editor/) or this [http://www.spyontech.com/how-to/missing-your-visual-editor%E2%80%99s-icon-after-upgrading-your-wordpress-here%E2%80%99s-the-solution.htm](http://www.spyontech.com/how-to/missing-your-visual-editor%E2%80%99s-icon-after-upgrading-your-wordpress-here%E2%80%99s-the-solution.htm). * Any suggestions? Can I manually add any lines of code to resolve this? I’m getting frustrated that my CMS requires me to enter posts and pages manually… nobody else in my group knows how to do this so it all lands on me. Seems fairly simple to fix…? * Thanks.

Try these steps and I’ll see if I can help you track down the error. 1. Clear your browser cache. 2. Re-upload version 3.3 manually from the zip file. 3. Does this happen on the edit and the new post/page editors? * I’ll check back in a few hours, so let me know how it goes. * – Kevin * Thread Starter [jbrewlet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrewlet/) * (@jbrewlet) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466947) * Kevin, Thanks for the suggestions. I looked up how to manually reinstall wordpress and at this moment I don’t have time to fix a major mistake in reinstalling properly( do you use this [guide](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended)?) which I feel is probable haha. * I cleared cache however and yes it happens on every page. I am at a loss though, I feel like I need to reinstall wordpress but I’m afraid of doing that at this moment. * I seem to have lots of [errors ](http://i.imgur.com/NhTIQ.png)related to jQuery and a FAQ plugin (this was a recent addition and was having the other problems before). * [Kevin Stover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kstover/) * (@kstover) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466948) * Hey J, * Disable all of your plugins and see if you have the same problem. The visual editor is obviously JS based, so your errors may cause problems with it. If that doesn’t work, then I’d recommend go ahead and re-install WordPress. * Let me know if that helps. * – Kevin * Thread Starter [jbrewlet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrewlet/) * (@jbrewlet) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466949) * Kevin, I had done that previously but I tried it again for hope of a miracle and nothing. Same problems. * Maybe this weekend I’ll get some time to tear things down. Do you use that guide I posted previous? * [Kevin Stover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kstover/) * (@kstover) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466950) * What do your JS errors look like w/ all the plugins disabled? * Thread Starter [jbrewlet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrewlet/) * (@jbrewlet) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466952) * Less, with some missing from the FAQ app that is malfunctioning. * [http://i.imgur.com/oyze2.png](http://i.imgur.com/oyze2.png) * [Kevin Stover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kstover/) * (@kstover) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466953) * I think that was the wrong screenshot… * Thread Starter [jbrewlet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jbrewlet/) * (@jbrewlet) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466954) * It was at first, I corrected it, which is here also: [http://i.imgur.com/oyze2.png](http://i.imgur.com/oyze2.png) * [Kevin Stover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kstover/) * (@kstover) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-21/#post-2466955) * What shows when you click on the “console” tab on Chrome there?
