 * “Visual” and “Text” tabs only who HTMS code and the text is white on white background,
   so can only see it if I highlight it. Cannot edit in “Visual” mode… How can I
   fix this? I am using Firefox, but also checked it in IE and same problem. I cannot
   edit my site! Please advise.

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme
   to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * My Visual editor is broken, too. Nothing can be typed in the box, and only the
   Add Media button is showing. It is not a plugin problem, and the theme is fine.
 * At this point, the deactivate-all-plugins advice is not very useful. The majority
   of today’s problems were caused by the 4.2.4 update, which clearly wasn’t ready
   for prime time.
 * Hopefully, WordPress is working on a fix.

 * BTW, I just checked the editing page with Chrome’s inspector, and this is what
   I found:
 *     ```
       http://jaiden.io/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpview/plugin.min.js?wp-mce-4109-20150505 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
       tinymce.min.js?ver=4109-20150505:4 Failed to load: http://jaiden.io/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpview/plugin.min.js
       ```
   
 * It’s a missing file. Nothing to do with plugins or themes.

 * No worries, a common misconception. Two very similar sets of symptoms could be
   two very different problems. Having your own thread keeps discussions organized
   and less confusing for everyone involved.

 * Actually, freneticgeek, it looks like someone else was already helping you in

 * Might as well stick to that.
