Windows, right? It’s likely a problem with the file extension and the way you saved it in Notepad. It sounds like the file is saved as “install.php.txt” instead of just “install.php”. Notepad’s default setting is to save as a TXT file; the solution is to select “All Files” when saving a file.

I seem to have resolved things…

– installed the Web Developer 1.1.5 addon for Firefox and disabled caching
– deleted and re-uploaded /wp-includes
– removed .htaccess restrictions (not that it matters, from a security perspective… the business blog I’ve developing is blank)

The WYSIWYG editor seems to work now, and I can switch between that and the HTML editor with ease. I’ll try narrowing down the source of the problem later.

There’s a couple threads about this already, but yeah… the new release is botched.

Holy hell, that look shiny. It also looks nothing like what I’m seeing, which is a single row of everything from “b” to “close tags” in the HTML editor, even though the whole reason I migrated from Drupal was to get a decent WYSIWYG editor.

Honestly, I’m considering reverting to the previous WP version. I’m supposed to be rolling out a shiny new WP-based site for my college’s newspaper today, and I really don’t want to explain my my adviser how the new system botched its visual editor on the day of our launch.

Check out the “How-to and troubleshooting” forum. It looks like the WYSIWYG editor broke as of the latest WP release.

Confirming that the visual editor does NOT work under the following conditions:

– Firefox 2.0.0.13
– Windows XP
– Removed .htaccess from /wp-includes
– No applicable restrictions in other .htaccess files
– “Use WYSIWYG” enabled for user
– Uncompressed with WinRAR

The problem I’m experiencing is that when I click on “Write,” the editor box I’m presented with has the buttons for HTML editing, but “Visual” is highlighted. Clicking on either “Visual” or “HTML” does nothing… literally, there is no action or refreshing. Also, it appears that WP is automatically “fixing” my HTML… I have a plugin that needs “[sometext]” but when the page is saved it comes back with p tags attached, and the plugin breaks.
