WordPress 2.8: Visual editor (articles and pages) is gone

Having the same problem with FF 3.0.10 on my site, the visual editor is just gone, this is not resolved. It’s not Google gears cause I turned that off because there was a problem with 2.8 and it causing my browser to crash when I went to upload stuff when the AJAX screen popped up.

I had the same problem (icons not showing up in FCK Editor) after an upgrade to WordPress v2.8).

I followed the advice of oneandsix (above) and re-upgraded WordPress v2.8 by going to Tools -> Upgrade and Re-Upgrade, and now it works fine.

I now works for me on Firefox v2.0.0.20, Firefox v3.0.10 and IE v7.

Thanks to all who responded since i posted up there i still feel it is a cache problem as after following my steps again i seem to have resolved the issue’s. I haven’t bothered to re enable google gears yet, but have the super cache plug in back at On and all buttons appear again.. Pheww.

Whew, I dumped the turned off WP-Super Cache, dumped the cache in wordpress and in the browser, logged back in and it worked. Now going to turn Super-Cache back on and see if it works. Crisis Averted.

Please help…

I already upgraded to 2.8 and I no longer have the visual editior.

I’m trying to re-update to see if it will fix this as mentioned above but I get this message: Could not copy file: /public_html/blog/wp-content/upgrade/wordpress-2.8/wordpress/wp-comments-post.php

and the re-update fails.

Any idea why?

Just use Dean’s FCK Editor Plugin until they acknowledge the problem and fix this

I tried it did not work either?

In Firefox, I went to Tools > Clear Private Data and cleaned out my Firefox cache. This did the trick from me.

I have cleared cache and done all mentioned above and I still have no visual editor. I don’t have Google Gears. I have the problem in both IE and Firefox. I did have some error messages in the FF error console related to tiny mce, so I think it might be related to that.

clea ache in firefox worked for me also. My editor toolbar is back

I downloaded and installed Chrome and the visual editor works fine in that browser. I then checked FF again, and it works there again, but I couldn’t tell you how or who fixed it.

I should clarify… this is the actual process that worked for me:

In the WP Dashboard:
Tools > Upgrade > Re-install Automatically

THEN…

In Firefox:
Tools > Clear Private Data > Clear Cache

Then, refresh the Dashboard. At that point, once you go to edit a post or page, the editor should show up.

I just upgraded to the new 2.8, and nothing displays AT ALL, not my theme and not my admin page. What can I do the resolve this matter.

I did the exact same steps that AndrewD300 took and it fixed it for me as well!

I can confirm that re-uploading wp-content and wp-admin seems to fix the problem but ONLY IN Firefox and IE. Google Chrome users (like me) appear to be SOOL.
