Wordpress 2.5 Visual Editor not working? Easy temporary fix!
It only works for the log in duration. Next time you come back you will have to repeat repair.
But it will do the job until the next Wordpress upgrade.
I tried all the fixes from all the forums I could find, and none of them worked.
In the end the fix was super easy.
Do the following, in this order:
- Go to plugins
- Click the ‘Deactivate all Plugins’
- Go to Write Post
- Check Visual Editor. It should now be working at this stage.
- Go to Plugins click ‘Reactivate Plugins’. (It will only reactivate the previously active plugins.)
- Go to ‘Write Post’ and check again. Should still be working.
Some interesting points to note. If not done in this order, it doesn’t seem to work. Ie: If plugins are deactivated and reactivated without navigating away it doesn’t fix it. I had to do this to each computer I use, not just one, for the same websites. I assume there is a caching issue here, however clearing the browser cache seemed to make no difference.
I hope this helps some of you, let me know how you go! I would be interested to hear your results. So far it has worked on three of my sites.
