Oddly enough, I finally got my problem to go away by switching to another server. I never was able to fix things on my old installation.

Actually, it’s under Options > Reading, but that seems to have fixed it. Somehow the gzip checkbox got selected when I wasn’t paying attention. Thanks!

That’s the same thing I get, only I don’t even have the tabs (even when the checkbox is selected in my profile).

I tried the solution spacerog posted above and now I can add, delete, and edit categories. Still no word on why I couldn’t in the first place, but at least I have a workaround.

I tried doing that, but I’m still missing it. I must have really screwed things over, but I can’t imagine where.

I found a temporary fix for the formatting buttons not showing up in 2.1: turn off the visual editor option in your user profile. That will bring back the basic formatting tags, but still doesn’t do anything for the visual editor.

All right, I upgraded to WP 2.1, which I thought would eliminate the problem (yes, it’s still there). But even though the entire wp-includes folder was deleted, I still don’t have a visual editor. Is it a database thing? And if so, how could I fix it?

Oh, hey, I did that too. I don’t know if TinyMCE quit working then or not, but I did set the blog URL to mydomain.com where WP is located at mydomain.com/blog.

So, any other ideas?

Hmm, I used the video quick tags plugin for a little while before TinyMCE disappeared. I tried deactivating and even deleting the plugin, but the problem is still there.

I tried that, but still nothing.

But, I have come across some things that may help in figuring out what’s going on:

Today when I was writing a post, I noticed that the FireBug plugin in Firefox was giving me two errors on the Write New Post page. The first error says “invalid flag after regular expression
tiny_mce_gzip.php… (line 709)” and gives this:

<b>Warning</b>: file_get_contents(/usr/home/logan/public_html/blog/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/buttonsnap/editor_plugin.js) [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/

The second says that TinyMCE is not defined in post.php (line 188).

Now, I checked and, sure enough, there is no editor_plugin.js file in the buttonsnap directory. Heck, there’s not even a buttonsnap directory. Never was. So why is the editor trying to get a file that was never there in the first place?

None of the plugins I’ve installed recently should affect TinyMCE, but I deactivated them all just in case. No effect there not even when I delete and re-uploaded the TinyMCE directory.

Anyways, here’s a list of the plugins I’m using. Maybe there’s something about one of them that I’m not aware of:

*Akismet
*Creative Commons Configurator
*fArc
*fQuick
*Improved Include Page
*Random Quotes
*Subscribe2
*Viper’s Video Quicktags
*WordPress Database Backup
