Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
EXACT Same problem here, It just started happening after a good year with no issues. Having the same issue in IE and Firefox
Found this issue has existed in previous versions. One of the fixes says to re-upload the wp-includes folder.
I tried this and it resolved my issue
I have been having the same problem with the visual edit buttons and images.
I went back to the default theme, deleted all of the plugins and the problem is still there.
Then I uninstalled wp with Fantastico and re-installed it and I have the same problem.
I have other wp blogs with the same host without any probs.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
There seems to be no uniform fix for this. It has been a recurring problem with WP since 2008 and there is clearly no official response to this problem. I have been working on this for days, used every recommended troubleshooting effort, nothing works. Clearly a WP bug/conflict that nobody has an answer to.
Did anyone find a solution?
Hi,
I found a solution and i think I have uncovered the problem.
I too experienced the loss of the visual editor, and having tried a number of the suggested fixes, none of which worked, I backed up my data and deleted the whole installation including the database off the server and reinstalled everything. However the problem still remained. I was using MS Internet explorer as my browser.
Furtunately I have another machine on the same network and by way of a test I logged into my WordPress blog, again using MS IE as my browser. Spookily the visual editor was there and working fine. I did some initial checks between the two browsers to check the set up and addons installed and as yet I have not uncovered any differences but I know its there somewhere.
I then went back to my original machine and logged into the blog using Firefox as my browser and bingo the Visual editor was there working fine. I then logged out went back to MSIE logged in again and the Visula editor was not there…… so my explanation is that its a browser problem, there must be a difference between my two MSIE browser setups on my two machines as one works and one does not, and on the machine it doesnt work on if i use Firefox the Visual editor is there!
I am no techie but I am still looking at both MSIE setups to see if there is an obvious or not so obvious reason why one works and one does not.
Can I suggest anyone who has this problem tries a different browser and see if the VE reappears using Firefox or Opera?
If i do find the MSIE difference i will repost my findings.
Hi guys, i had the same problem here, and luckily i found the solution!!!
But i am not sure if it’s will work for you.
I used wp 2.9.2 and cform II plugin, and what i did is:
disabled and re enabled the visual editor on my profile page.
