WordPress Visual Editor Has Disappeared Or Isn’t Working
Has your WordPress visual editor stopped working? There are two quick settings to check if this has happened to your WordPress blog.
The first setting to check is to make sure you haven’t checked the option to Disable the visual editor when writing in your profile. In the WordPress dashboard go to Users, Your Profile and make sure you don’t have a check in the box next to Disable the visual editor when writing.
Another setting or actually a plugin that can cause the visual editor to disappear or gray out in WordPress version 2.7 is TinyMCE Advanced. If you have this plugin installed and activated, and recently upgraded to version 2.7 it may be causing the problem. There are several things to try to get the visual editor back and keep TinyMCE Advanced.
First make sure you have the latest version of the plugin then try deactivating it and then activating again. If this doesn’t work for you try to refresh your browser when on the write post screen. If that doesn’t work go to Settings, TinyMCE Advanced and scroll down and just click save changes to reset it and try again by refreshing your browser at the write post screen or going as far as clearing the browser cache. If that doesn’t work then I guess you will have to deactivate it and try it again when a new version is available.

I had this, and managed to fix it by re-installing WP. It sounds a hassle, I know, but it’s easy to do, and works

just delete the browser history or for a quick solution try using another browser.

Drive-By comments will be deleted! Like "Thanks for sharing", "Nice post", or any other text that doesn't contribute to the discussion. If you ask a very specific question about your particular WordPress theme, it will probably be deleted. I can fix your WordPress site but for a price. If you ask a question like "Why don't my blog work right", it will be deleted. If you ask a question about your WordPress site without a leaving a link to it, it will be deleted. The point is to ask questions and or comment on the the actual content of the post, and to please use some common sense. All comments are moderated and will appear when approved. Thank you.
