Title: WooCommerce 2.1 Missing Visual Editor Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # WooCommerce 2.1 Missing Visual Editor * Resolved [OneTrueKing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onetrueking/) * (@onetrueking) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/) * After updating to v2.1 the visual editor seems to have been removed from the Product Short Description. Is there anyway to get that back? * I personally like the placement of the text next to the image vs the description under it. * Thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Roy Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splashingpixelscom/) * (@splashingpixelscom) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603669) * It should still be there…Try dumping your browser cache… * [camplin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/camplin/) * (@camplin) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603681) * I have the same issue…text going straight down product page in a single line.. happened right after I updated * [camplin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/camplin/) * (@camplin) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603696) * I fixed the issue I had…reverted back to old version * [aimdoll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aimdoll/) * (@aimdoll) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603699) * Deleting woocommerce and reinstalling the plugin will probably fix it to. I had a few problems yesterday, not this particular problem, and the only thing that did work was deleting and reinstalling. * Thread Starter [OneTrueKing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onetrueking/) * (@onetrueking) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603716) * If I delete it would I lose all my setting? I’m just getting started with this plugin. * Also this is definitely an issue with the upgrade. As I noticed it only happened after the update on the very I was playing with. * [Roy Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splashingpixelscom/) * (@splashingpixelscom) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603726) * As you can see, I am not seeing this issue [http://cld.wthms.co/s8d1](http://cld.wthms.co/s8d1) * Thread Starter [OneTrueKing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onetrueking/) * (@onetrueking) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603728) * Roy, that is the problem. Before I had the same visual editor as the one on the top. Now it’s like bare as it is in the screen you just shared. * This shows you what I mean. You’ll notice both are the same which is what I had before. * [http://theme-fusion.com/avada-documentation/img/woo3.jpg](http://theme-fusion.com/avada-documentation/img/woo3.jpg) * [Roy Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/splashingpixelscom/) * (@splashingpixelscom) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603737) * Wait, perhaps I am not understanding you. I thought you’re saying the content area for short description is missing. * But now ( after you showed your screenshot ) I think would you mean is the tinyMCE buttons are missing? Is that correct? * Also in your screenshot, you pointed out several other things. Are there any issues with those as well? * Thread Starter [OneTrueKing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onetrueking/) * (@onetrueking) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603748) * Roy thanks for the response. I’m still a rooking with WP. * The screenshot isn’t mine, just one I found that showed the issue. * If you notice the Visual Editor (TinyMCE) has a ton of icons and options under ADD NEW PRODUCT. However, those same icons and options are also available under PRODUCT SHORT DESCRIPTION. Basically it mirrors the TinyMCE. After the update there are only 4 buttons like in the screenshot you had. 🙂 Ideally I’d like to get that back to the way it was in the previous version. * I hope that cleared things up. * Plugin Contributor [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603752) * Short description is exactly that – short. It shouldn’t need headings etc, so the tinymce buttons were removed to clean up the interface. All of them won’t be coming back, but I will look at adding list styles back at least. * You can still use HTML there as always if you need more tags. * Thread Starter [OneTrueKing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onetrueking/) * (@onetrueking) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603755) * Mike, * Thanks for the response. I’m new Woo but I really like the feel of the text to right of my image. It might have something to do with my theme but the formatting doesn’t look as nice other way. * Hopefully there’s away to have it on or off. * cheers! * [smayor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smayor/) * (@smayor) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603944) * I had exactly this problem but resolved it by deactivating the plugin: All In One SEO Pack version 2.1.4 Shame because I’d spent a lot of time on the plugin before discovering the conflict. * [bd4tru](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bd4tru/) * (@bd4tru) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603991) * I have the same problem. While I’ll bite my lip on the notion that “it shouldn’t need headings, etc.” I chime in here to add that the option to change the font color was also removed. When we advertise MSRP, MAP specials, etc. the ability to change the font color is quite important to draw a customer’s attention. Moreover, changing font color doesn’t make the “short description” any longer. * [cynetua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cynetua/) * (@cynetua) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4603997) * IF I ENABLE WOO COMMERCE IT DISABLES VISUAL EDITOR IN WORDPRESS IF I DISABLE WOO COMMERCE THE EDITOR TABS VISUAL AND TEXT FUNCTION WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WHAT IS THE CORRECTION * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) * SITE IS HERE [http://roberttoshplumlee.com/public/](http://roberttoshplumlee.com/public/) WORDPRESS 3.9.1 THEME Mystile V 1.3.1 By WooThemes INSTALLED PLUGINS BuddyPress Version 2.0.1 BuddyPress Activity Plus Version 1.6 BuddyPress Activity Privacy Version 1.3.3 BuddyPress Group Tiny Chat Version 1.3 BuddyPress Registration Groups Version 1.0.1 Custom Login Version 2.3.3 MailPoet Newsletters Version 2.6.6 WooCommerce Version 2.1.9 WordPress SEO Version 1.5.3.2 * [fuel2water](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fuel2water/) * (@fuel2water) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-21-missing-visual-editor/#post-4604000) * This was my solution: * In the file: * class-wc-admin-editor.php * comment the line: * $arr[‘wc_shortcodes_button’] = WC()->plugin_path() . ‘/assets/js/admin/editor_plugin_lang. php’; * like this: * /** $arr[‘wc_shortcodes_button’] = WC()->plugin_path() . ‘/assets/js/admin/editor_plugin_lang. php’; */ * after that, the button for visual editing works again. * Seems like a lot of people are currently looking out for that.
