    My wordpress is not functioning. I installed multiple themes and I have the same issue with all of them each time. I have reinstalled three times, nothing is working. I set my page up as I want and then when I try creating a post it allows me to type in the title and I can see it. When I get to where I put the content in the body, nothing! its typing , but there is no cursor, no type anything at all, but when i run mouse over to highlight text shows up. Also the text and visual tabs do nothing at all. If they are supposed to show something other than those two words i don’t see it. I have also tried writing document in word and then copy and past, it does the same thing. Its like the font is the same color as the background. Can someone please help? Also I am not a whiz at all of this so if someone does have a solution can you please make it really simple and clear to understand.

    – Do you have any Javascript errors in the console when looking at the editor page? This article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.
    – If you use any caching systems, like Cloudflare, clear those caches.
    – Check that the file permissions of all the PHP files are set correct (i.e., 644).
    – Specifically check files like /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php and such.
    – If the permissions are incorrect, then some servers running security code like suhosin won’t allow those files to run.

    If the above does not help, then also try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.
