but re-reading your post yes it’s essentially the same problem, just the solution is simple.

Kind regards

no the problem i’m talking about is simpler than that.

go to Settings – General in your dashboard of the site in question and you might find a colon after your url – so

mine was

https://www.daverichband.com:/wordpress

I just removed the colon after the .com and all is now well.

Kind regards

just so you know i found a fix. the 123-reg wordpress install app caused the wordpress url in general settings to have an extra colon in it which when removed fixed all this. ??

Hi another 123reg customer here I have a possible solution that worked for me.

Go into Your settings -> General section of your admin.
In Site URL or Home URL is there a colon ‘:’ ?

I had one added by 123reg, removing the colon bought back the visual editor.

For those more advanced users you can check this also through phpMyAdmin. in the wp_options table look fro siteurl

I hope it works for you too

YEEESSSS!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!

wonderful,- thankyou thankyou thankyou!

??

Made me friggin day that has ??

nope, didn’t fix my problem (found the file further up the file tress)

cool, and where can i get a copy of the en.js file?

hmm, i don’t have a langs folder ??

would it be possible for someone to hack tiny MCE and make it less sensitive?

Kind regards

I’m also with 123-reg and also have no visual editor. I also installed using their handy app thingy.

Darn annoying. I hope this gets fixed ??

Kind regards

Dave Rich

i’ve had no visual editor for months now, hopefully this will point those more knowledgable than I towards a fix.

Kind regards

I see exactly the same thing kbarncat.

Is this only happening on macs?

yeah mac person here.

Problems in Firefox, Safari and chrome.

Thanks for the offer J but I’ve installed that other visual editor now and have tinkered with it enough that i think the client will get their head around it (i.e, simplified it right down) – although it doesn’t work as well as the tiny editor.

Just thinking though,- I installed wordpress via an app from 123-regs hosting and then it upgraded to the latest version from whatever version that was. I’m wondering is this an upgrading issue – something getting missed or conflicted? All my other sites are behaving the same ??

The current plugins on this site I’m working on are – Askimet, Deans FSKeditor and Fast Secure contact form. That’s it. nothing else even installed,- and I only installed the FSKeditor because it was doing this odd behaviour.

well, it’s still doing it for me on a fresh install with no extra plugins at all.

Kind regards

Did I also mention that the font has switched to white on the visual side? If you select the contents of the field, you can see the words there – but they are all html coded.

Yup, exactly the same for me too.

This is all rather irritating isn’t it ??
