Visual editor not working after update to 4.2.4

    Can’t type anything in the visual editor after an update to 4.2.4. I can look at text editor, enter things in, and they show on the front end. But I don’t even get a cursor with the visual editor. I also don’t have any of the styling buttons available in the visual editor.

    I did the following things:
    – Deactivated all plugins.
    – Switched theme to an up to date default theme.
    – Reactivated all plugins.
    – Tried different browsers.
    – Tried different computers.
    – Cleared browser cache.
    – Cleared server cache.
    – Cleared Cloudflare cache.
    – Turned off Cloudflare altogether.

    None of these by itself or in conjunctions with others did one bit of difference.

    My webhost has changed nothing in the environment.

    I turned on script debugging. Didn’t fix anything.

    I looked at errors through console and this is what I’m getting:

    “JQMIGRATE: Logging is active” jquery-migrate.js:1:141
    “JQMIGRATE: jQuery.fn.attr(‘value’) no longer gets properties” jquery-migrate.js:3:258
    console.trace(): jquery-migrate.js:3

    Also thisL

    TypeError: document.getElementById(…) is null overlay.js:7333:4

    What to do with this info, I don’t know! I’m at a loss. Any idea how to resolve?

    Ah, ad blockers, and their continuing quest to block things that aren’t ads. ??

    FYI I had the same problem. Tried everything already explained here and nothing worked. Then I figured out that’s an access right permission problem and remembered I m running on an Odin (foremerly Parrallels) Plesk VPS that have a WordPress Toolkit and I used it to install my WP. I used the security tool of this and I already had problem with a plugin because of its security patches.
    Now I fixed the problem applying the “roll back” function on the “security of the wp-includes folder”.
    In general I experimented that the “security of the wp-includes folder” and the “security of the wp-content folder” are really tricky option of the Odin Plesk WordPress toolkit.

    Thanks for sharing your solution!

    none of this worked for me..

    It was working fine for me as I had 4.2.3, then I chose to upgrade to 4.3.1 and all of a sudden I could not access the text or visual portions of WordPress anymore. I tried accessing it from three different machines and three different browsers.. I also edited the permissions on the WP-Content and WP-Includes folders from within the web disk… nada.. This is still a problem!

    @unscathed: start a new post with your issue; it is not the same as the posters in this thread.

    Will do! but for the record, I fixed my issue by deleting the WP-Content and WP-Inlcudes folders, and pasted over top of the wordpress directory and overwrote all the files with an older version of wordpress.
