A week ago my Visual Editor suddenly disappeared. I did a lot of searching and realised that this is happening to other people as well so I tried every possible solution I found out there.
Please help me out, I have a really important project coming up next Monday 
What I tried without success:
1. Restored my website to a past back-up (this fixed the problem for a while but it re-appeared after 12 hours)
2. Deactived all plug-ins
3. Emptied site caches and browser caches
3. Updating WordPress theme and installing the previous version again.
4. Adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false); to the suggested php folder
5. Adding define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', false); to the suggested php folder
6. Checking if “Disable Visual Editor” is checked in wp dashboard
7. Trying 4 different browsers
8. Replacing TinyMCE
9. Installing Google Libraries plug-in
10. Changing themes and re-installing my theme
The tool works great and I love it,
But when I try to go back to my posts, I have no visual editor.
my site is https://www.bed-bath-and-more.com
It doesn’t affect the output for the rss feed. I just don’t have a visual editor when I try to make another post

]]>Use PHPMyAdmin (or another database editor) to search inside your WordPress database in your “ngto_options” table for the record called “can_compress_scripts“. and if it has a value of “1” for the “option_value“, change this to “0” and save the change. You will find your editor working again! (Note: Sometimes this record won’t even exist, so in that case you need to add it. Look for a WordPress database that does have it in order to see what you need to add.)
“Wait! Why did this happen in the first place??” you ask? Explanation:
When you update your WordPress version, it does a ONE-TIME-ONLY test of your server environment to see if it supports compressing using the “deflate” method, if it thinks it detects that your server supports this, then it will set “can_compress_scripts” “option_value” to have a value of “1”. But it OFTEN gets this wrong! (or it just doesn’t do “deflate” correctly etc.)
Then because that test doesn’t run again, you are stuck with an auto-screwed-up WordPress install that won’t work unless you know the above secret, or unless you use the “define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', true);” directive in your “wp-config.php” file (but using that directive disables BOTH concatenating and compressing of all scripts, which makes your site SLOW!!).
I did a painstaking MANUAL EYEBALL database compare (of a database backup I luckily made just before the WordPress upgrade) and spent HOURS tracking this down because I wasn’t satisfied with downgrading, restoring to a backup, or disabling script concatenation. So I hope it helps you all.

I am new to WordPress, but I hove some experience with Joomla.
Apparently without reason the visual editor is gone for good.I mean the button is still there, but that is.
I did already most of the things that i find about this issues but with no result.
I added define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);
I added define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
I deactivate all plugins
I install and activate – use-google-libraries plugin
I manually reinstall WordPress except for wp_content
After I add define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); was working once but when I save the post disappear again and since then never come back.
Also i clean browser…logout from admin…everything
What else I can do….I get really frustrate about it. Being a Joomla developer I was thinking that the Joomla has problems, but I see now that WordPress is much worst.
I find WordPress too sensitive to modifications,dashboard not intuitive, at all, and if something bad happened is not much you can do.
Thank you
I just hope that this version 3.5.1 is buggy and I have a bad start with WordPress.
Thanks!!! ]]>
It just happened right after the latest upgrade to 3.1.1
Please help, I can’t create posts because of this.
thanks
]]>The visual editor tab is still there but no way to edit. When I click in the edit box the cursor won’t even show up. This is the same for posts & pages.
I’ve checked and the visual editor is NOT disabled under users.
Any ideas? HELP!!
]]>Title says it all, i just got my hands on an older website i want to update for some friends and when i upgraded automatically to 3.0.1 my visual editor is now gone in pages and posts.
Plugins seem fine, i activated/deactivated and played around.
Theme is not the problem either, checked that.
Is there something wrong with the installation or JS?
Any help would be awesome! Thanks
]]>Added a post last night – everything was fine and always has been.
Tried to add one today and the Visual Editor tab has disappeared in both create post and create page.
I have done a couple of automatic upgrades – cleared firefox cache – logged out logged back in – checked the thing wasn’t disabled in my user settings… I now have no idea what to do. I have seen this has happened before with 2.8.0 but as above all those fixes made no difference.
Can anybody help please?
