    Since updating one of my sites to 4.3.1 I am unable to see the content in the post/page editor. It would appear that there is any issue loading tinymce.

    The content is there and I can highlight it to see the code but I cannot edit it.

    It was working before. It’s a small site running a couple of plugins:
    * Akismet
    * All in One SEO Pack
    * Elegant Themes Update
    * Divi (Theme) 2.5.3

    I have tried the following:

    1. Clear browser cache
    2. Try another browser
    3. A colleague from another office has tried it (him informed me of the porblem)
    4. Upload a clean version of WP install incase a file was missed (en_gb.wp4.3.1)

    Firebug shows the 3 errors in the console:

    ReferenceError: tinymce is not defined

    Server error log shows the following:
    DOMAINNAME [Wed Sep 16 16:00:09 2015] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:46160] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/sites/DOMAINNAME/public_html/blog/wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php

    Found my issue.

    I had installed Sucuri Security (which I use on many sites) and run the harden rules via the admin. I tried deleting the plugin to see if it was the issue.

    It had left some .htaccess rules in /wp-includes/ that was blocking tinymce.

    Solution:

    I had the same error and I solved it by re-uploading the wp-includes folder. Hope this helps someone!

    I’m going to try to post this everywhere I can.
    After days of researching Old old posts regarding the Tinymce errors (not finding a URL that was totally Ok)

    Sucuri or Wordfence had added an HTACCESS to the WP-INCLUDES folder which caused some conflict.

    CHECK WP-INCLUDES for any rules that may not allow the site to read the proper files.

    Quick test, back up the WP-INCLUDES HTACCESS, then empty the file, then reload your page you’re trying to edit. BOOM, success!
