``` * But ‘`

(I know many who use the CKEditor plugin). * WordPress uses the TinyMCE (the WYSIWYG) editor by default, and it will validate elements when switching from Text to Visual tab, and any invalid elements will be deleted. * `
` is not a valid HTML tag. If you switch that to `
` you’ll see that it won’t disappear after switching tabs. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can't delete or upload plugins through admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-or-upload-plugins-through-admin/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-or-upload-plugins-through-admin/#post-4187945) * It sounds like WordPress doesn’t have permissions set to allow the web server to write/remove files. (and it will need to do that to install/delete plugins and update WordPress) * Not knowing your hosting situation that’s about all I can offer, but it’s possible that it could be either the mode (chmod) or the ownership (chown) that’s the problem. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Insecure version of Internet Explorer?!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insecure-version-of-internet-explorer-1/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insecure-version-of-internet-explorer-1/#post-4189839) * It’s possible that compatibility mode/view is on (which you can turn off in the settings).

It’s used by caching plugins normally.

I mean, did this problem just suddenly occur on a working site or is this preventing a new install from working? There are other things that can cause issues (like others mentioned, caching plugins) or PHP accelerators like APC, which would be at the server level. * Also, do you see a file called `object-cache.php` at the root level of your WordPress install? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Fatal Error??](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-924/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-924/#post-4188553) * Truthfully, though, I usually find this error is caused by corrupt files, incompletely uploaded files, and/or missing files.

(if so, it may have backed up the old one) Generally “Error establishing a database connection” means that something in the wp-config.php file dealing with the database is wrong (host, database, database username and password).
