My small part of this story got slightly interesting, but is currently resolved. My host has told me that my shared server was under a DDoS attack. Because I’m not the account holder (I just do the grunt work :D), I may not have gotten some communications. In an attempt to help some account holders assigned to this server, they gave me a static IP. Upon updating the settings in WordPress and the two database tables (kind of a pain), suddenly my problem is solved. Buttons and visual editor work again. No idea if that helps anyone else, but apparently going from a shared IP to a dedicated IP did something. Either it’s a completely different box with a different setup (you’d think they’d all be the same with a large host) or I’m missing something else.

This issue happened either with the move to the new account on the same host (from a “test” site to a real site) or with the 3.1.1 auto-update. Super frustrating as my users are all non-techy and can’t use the HTML editor. :/

Was hoping the original poster was still around? Was any resolution found to this? I’m in a similar situation and my WordPress editors are going to start screaming for the lack of the visual editor. Same problem as listed above. The visual editor tab is there, but when clicked upon, there is no menu and it shows the HTML.

I thought I did something wrong when I moved the site from one account to another (on the same host), but apparently it’s happening for others not in that situation. Really frustrating.

As an aside, I’m also having a problem with the navigation buttons on the “Pages” page in the ADMIN section. When hovered over, they reference an IP address instead of my URL. The first page loads fine, but clicking on the button eventually results in a “Page Not Found” error.
