@gem @ White Rabit:

Ok – sounds promising – The WordPress team seem have gone into ‘disinterested’ mode so anything helpful is er.. well helpful….. ??

Have you definitely tied it to your theme ? What theme are you using?
I have had this problem on 3 ( includng the ”native’ 2011)

Looking forward to your progress.

@designsimply. I have definitely eliminated the network side of things. I am 130km from my previous location, from another provider as well. Same result.

@garibaldi55 – No unless you solve it later. Let me know of you – thx

There is only 1 button “Add Media”. It works but if you insert an image it cannot be seen in the editor.
also
– you cannot type/place a cursor in the text area.
– no other buttons (aka kitchen sink) are displayed.

jut tried it on a third computer. Completely different browser as well. – same result.
and yes I’m on a very different network/provider.

Hi,
No – Its hosted with hostgator. Nothing fancy and of the type of service I been running WP on for 5+ years.

Not easy to eliminate but highly un-probable it’s part of the cause.

Yes:

– This was a pristine install not an upgrade. No plugins, 3.9 “out of the box” and problem existed from the start. Carried on building the site expecting a fix by the time I was finished and based on the volume of the same problem, I read about on line.

Regardless I have tried in desperation, as I saw this advice a few times:
– disabled all plugins. – no difference.
– switched to default theme with plugins disabled. – no difference.

Saw many have done the same with same result, also since they upgraded to 3.9. Seems as conclusive as it can be to me…..

Hi Esmi, thanks for your helpful response.

My site – https://efectivchef.com cant help with the many other user I read about, sorry.

Preserved HTML Editor Markup worked for me! Real Easy.!!!
The Ultimate TinyMCE made not difference.
WP 3.41

@tobiasbray Are you referring to PHP Safe mode? I switched that off but it do not help.

ME neither. The links remain in the default alphabetic order.
WP 3.01
Can anyone recommend a plugin to provide this functionality?

I re-installed and restored my DB – quickest & only way I could find.
