Visual text editor won't work for posts or pages.

    I’ll try to make this as quick as possible.

    I have two websites. WordPress 4.3 installed on both. I’m learning SEM/SEO, so site #1 has mainly been just about content creation with a Hiero theme.

    Site #2 hasn’t had much action lately, until I started working on it tonight. My goal with site #2 was to learn to make the most aesthetically pleasing site I possibly could granted I’m using a content management system. I found some videos on YouTube and got to it. I needed to install about 8 different (well rated) plug-ins. I was well on my way to making the site look good, and then all of a sudden I couldn’t edit the text in the visual section of new or old, posts or pages. I can’t even see the usual options above, like H1, H2, paragraph, bold, bullets, etc etc. I can however switch to the html text editor option. I wasn’t all that worried about it at first thinking maybe the plugins crashed my second site but then I realized i now also have the same problem on my MAIN site #1 where I haven’t made any changes at all! I’m super confused. Someone please help!

    *Rule out*
    Tried changing browsers. (chrome, safari and mozilla)
    Restarted my computer.
    logged out of both WP accounts logged back in.
    Inactivated and uninstalled the all plugins on site #2
    Reset site #2 completely.
    Contacted others using same hosting site as i am and WP, they are not experiencing any difficulties.
    Cleared computer cache

    RESOLVED. NO IDEA what happened. Works again without any further action. Frustrating to say the least, because I usually figure things out on my own, and I still don’t have an answer for what happened.

    hey! had the same problem and fixed it by adding to “wp–includes\class-wp-editor.php” in line 177 right after the button tag opening so now it looks like this:
    $buttons .= '<button onclick="switchEditors.switchto(this);" type="button" id="' . $editor_id_attr . '-tmce" class="wp-switch-editor switch-tmce"' .

    and same in line 179 that now looks like this:
    $buttons .= '<button onclick="switchEditors.switchto(this);" type="button" id="' . $editor_id_attr . '-html" class="wp-switch-editor switch-html"' .

    onclick=”switchEditors.switchto(this);” this is what i actually added. work perfectly now.
