 * So I’m pretty much stumped. No matter what direction I takesomething is causing
   the visual editor to not work in both 2.7.1 (revereted back to it because at 
   least I can edit HTML) and 2.8.6 (could see the tools for HTML editing for a 
   bit then they disappared and text was white on white)
 * I’ve tried downloading and updating the files in TinyMCE and that hasn’t worked.
 * I’ve deactivated and removed all my plugins at some level or another and that
   hasn’t worked.
 * I’ve tried adding a line of code into the wp-config file and that hasn’t worked.
 * I am at a complete stand still. HELP!

 * Upgraded to 2.8.6 problem solved…I guess. I can now switch between the two but
   I don’t have the rich text formating.
 * This is the 2nd time we’ve had either conflict or a possible hack. Any advice
   on securing wordpress would be great.

 * I also just realized taking a look at my screenshot. I’m not getting any other
   tools in HTML mode (such as uploading media etc)

 * What I’ve tried so far…
    I first went into wordpress and just deactivated all
   the plugins using the tool bar. result: still no visual editor
 * I created a new plugins folder in wp-content and changed the name of my old plugin
   folder to “plugin.hold”
    result: still no visual editor
 * I’ve opened it in FF, IE, Safari, Chrome and cleared the cache and cookies in
   each browser
    result: still no visual editor
 * I went an downloaded new files of 2.7.1 and replaced the ones i currently had.
   Changing almost everything but wp-content and wp-config files.
    result: still
   no visual editor

 * The only thing I see out of the ordinary is that the panel for publishing now
   ask’s to “stick this post on the front page”
 * By default the panel is never expanded and always collapsed. Even when writing
   a new post.

 * Also when I do check “disable visual editor” and go to add new post both disappear.
   When I uncheck it it’s back but stuck in HTML mode.

 * I had the same issues with getting the whole you must authenticate to enter the“
   MAGIC” area.
 * I replaced all of the root files, wp-admin, & wp-includes folder files with fresh
   copy of my 2.7.1 install and the issues went away.

 * I just figured it out thank you very much it was the fact that I was putting 
   the <!–more–> tag in the actually post and not in the code view.

 * I mean I understand css if anything I dont understand how wordpress is put together.
   If anything I came from using cuteftp as my CMS and now to have something more
   semantic and better organized I’m starting from scratch. WP is beautiful built
   but it’s also a pain if your someone who is used to just building his own stuff
   from scratch.
