* When writing new posts why am I not given an option to togel between visual and
HTML in the editor. My system seems to be set for visual. How can I enable the
HTML editor?
* Thanks, TIM

* There should be a tab next to visual one that says HTML. Can you click on that
tab to open the html editor?

* The tabs are not visable… No Visual or HTML tabs??? I just updated the WP files,
could that be my problem… Thanks, TIM

* If you click on the link of your name in your dashboard you’ll be taken to your
profile page where a check box that says use visual editor check that to bring
back the visual editor.

* Thanks Jeremy. I am someone who can look in the fridge for the katchup bottle
for 20 minutes and swear we are out and then my wife will open the door and there
it is…
* Having said that, I have gone back to my profile page more than once and see
no box to check for the visual or html editor…

* Are you sure all the files were uploaded properly? It sounds like some files
are missing.

* Everythink else seems to be working. Do you know which file would contain this
feature?

* Make sure that you’re going to the correct Profile page. You need to be logged
in as you, and then go to the “Your Profile” subpage. Not to the profile of the
user that you happen to be.
* Users->Your Profile. Look at the top menu bar.

* I have logged in as the admin and selected “your profile” and still no check
box. I created a new user (editor) and logged as that and still no check box
for visual/html???

* I don’t know exactly which files but I would start with /wp-includes/js/
* You could compare the files and directories you have uploaded to the WordPress
installation that you used.

* I honestly don’t know how to make this any clearer, so here’s a screenshot:

* If you don’t see that, then your installation is badly broken. Reupload ALL of
the WordPress files to your site.

* dear Otto42,
* I have the same problem! Your image shows a visual editor option above the admin
colorscheme. I think thats the problem, because also by me this visual editor
option is not there ! My personal option starts with the color scheme. I use
wordpress 2.6.5

* Hi again,
* I have just deleted all files from my server, replaced the backup 2.6.3 to the
server,(the latest good working version) and updated it to version 2.6.5. Now
all is working fine again. Earlyer i only did the update 2.6.5 again, but that
was not working. Only full delete and replace the backup solved the problem.

* I have a similar issue. I updated to 2.6.5 five days ago and everything was working
well until today. For some reason I see the Visual and HTML tabs, but can’t click
them to toggle back and forth. It works on my friends computer currently – but
stopped working on mine today.
