 * 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors).
   –
   If you use any caching systems, like Cloudflare, clear those caches. – Check 
   that the [file permissions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_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](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients). – 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update) 
   directions first.

 * Thank you for your assistance. I greatly appreciate it. I’m sure digesting this
