Thanks for your suggestion. Yesterday, before packing up the computer for the day, I went back into my file manager, found the file for the visual editor, deleted it, inserted the same file from an update from last November, but I didn’t take the time to test it.

After I saw your suggestion today I decided to try what you suggested using Chrome (I’ve been using Safari and primarily Firefox since this began). I didn’t even have it installed on my laptop, so after it installed I opened my WP admin page, clicked on New Post and what did I see but the restored Visual Editor tool bar. I opened Firefox and found the same thing.

Thanks much for your suggestions and time.

Thanks for the suggestion, atul1280. I logged into the WP admin page and selected Add New Post to get to the page where I’m having the problem. I found the Web Console tool and quite a few errors and warnings, but most of them are CSS. There are no JS errors or warnings under the Javascript tab. I do, however, receive a warning in the Logging tab, ‘[11:43:10.857] Failed to load: https://www.listeningimpact.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/fullscreen/editor_plugin.js’. When I was first trying to figure out what was going on I followed one person’s suggestion from a previous thread to deactivate all plugins, and then if it was working again to reactivate one by one. That had no effect, and it would appear the reason would be because the plugin wasn’t loading. I went in to my plugins just now and didn’t find one for the visual editor toolbar. I’ve never noticed before – is one supposed to be there? I looked for a new one to take it’s place, but I’m not sure what I’m looking for.

Do you think I should just install a new plugin or should I continue to try to get the old editor toolbar back? Thanks for taking the time to help!

No, I haven’t yet. I hope I do soon, though. It’s been two weeks since I was able to post on the blog. I think I’ll give our site host a call and see if they can help.
