Visual editor broken

  • Hello!
    I use WordPress 3.9, freshly installed, on Chrome. Visual editor not working, appearing blank and showing text only when selected, which doesn’t help much for the purpose of editing.
    The debug script did not fix the error. Errors below:

    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
    /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js?ver=4021-20140412:9

    Uncaught ReferenceError: tinymce is not defined /wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/compat3x/plugin.js?ver=4021-20140412:301

    Uncaught ReferenceError: tinymce is not defined /wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit:2037

    Help please!
    Thanks.

  • Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder and wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    sorry, none of the above apply. i installed wordpress on a new database, new domain, no plugin or theme whatsoever installed previously.
    i even deleted Akismet and Hello Dolly. ?? nothing helps.
    i guess i’ll just start from scratch again and install 3.8.3
    thanks

    I would not recommend that, Using an older copy of WordPress would mean that your site would be running a very real risk of being hacked. Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the root wp-config.php & .htaccess files and the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    So I deleted the files and folders, all except wp-config.php, .htaccess and the wp-acontent folder. Copied back on server all these files from a freshly downloaded package of 3.9. No luck, I’m stuck.

    I’ve got one last fix…

    Try adding define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).
