Visual tab blank

    Since Tuesday (31 May), when adding or editing a post, the ‘visual’ tab is blank, and with no toolbar. I can add / edit in the ‘text’ tab, but this isn’t ideal for formatting or checking media is included correctly. I understand there’s been a recent update that might be responsible (the problem kicked in halfway through an edit, which was a bit scary as it looked like the whole thing had disappeared!). I’ve tried knocking down my zoom level to 100% (no change), and select all to see if there’s text there just white (no). The wordcount is showing at the foot of the edit window. Now out of ideas – any advice?
    Thanks, P.

  • I have the same issue. And I need to update my site contents immediately.
    WordPress 4.5.2 running Simplify theme.
    WordPress PLEASE ASSIST!

    Hi, i’m having the same issue!! I did all the things described by others. But still the Visual tab isn’t responding. When i inspect this element, i get:
    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
    post.php:2183 Uncaught ReferenceError: tinymce is not defined
    This happened after I updated to 4.5.2. Nothing changed on serverlevel. Can anybody help us here? Thnx.

    @philippab,

    Try:
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If all the above steps do not resolve the issue, then your browser can help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts. Do you have any Javascript errors in the console when looking at the editor page?
    – This article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.

    @hungchi,
    @waterduin,

    If the troubleshooting already posted made no difference for you, then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

    @tara – thanks for the response. In fact, it came back by itself on Tuesday, but I will bookmark this in case it happens again!
