What to do if the WordPress editor doesn't work? We recently encountered such a problem, and we know 13 possible reasons, along which it may disappear visual editor.

WordPress Editor Not Working: 13 Possible Reasons

1. There is a checkmark in the admin panel: Users - Your profile - Disable the visual editor.

2. Plugin conflict. Disable plugins that you recently installed. If the reason is them, everything will work. Then turn it on one by one until you find the one responsible for the breakdown of the WordPress editor.

3. One possible reason is that some WordPress files have become corrupted. You will have to update WordPress or reinstall it.

4. Disk space is out.

5. Let's turn to the files. Sometimes it helps to include it in the wp-config.php file

Define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
If it doesn't help, return it back.

6. tinyMCE advanced plugin - disable and remove it.

7. Edit in the file wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_gzip.php
We look for a string and replace it ob_gzhandler on ob_gzhandlerX
was:
ob_gzhandler
became:
if ((in_array(‘gzip’, $encodings) || in_array(‘x-gzip’, $encodings) || isset($_SERVER[‘-----‘])) && function_exists(‘ ob_gzhandlerX‘) && !ini_get(‘zlib.output_compression’)

If it doesn't help, we return everything.

8. We are looking for the file /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
Scroll to the line: ‘compress’ => true,
Instead of true we write false

9. Empty line in functions.php file

10. Browser problems, or rather due to JavaScript. It’s worth checking whether the visual editor disappears in all browsers (it is not displayed)

11. WordPress may be installed crookedly, in a folder or on a subdomain

12. There is not enough memory on the hosting. WordPress needs at least 32 MB

13. Errors in WordPress template. Temporarily change the template to the default WordPress one.

Every time you check, clear your browser's cookies and cache. Good luck!

Possible problems with TinyMCE Advanced and methods for solving them

The TinyMCE Advanced plugin is written in PHP, just like any program, it may not work for one reason or another. Below are the problems that users most often encounter. What is wrong with the editor for WordPress?

WordPress TinyMCE Advanced visual editor not working

If, when connecting a plugin, you cannot edit it, use icons, add or change settings, try the following operation:

1. Check the functionality of other plugins that you manage from the admin panel, if their settings buttons work, then move on to the next point. If problems arise with other add-ons, you need to look for the reasons internal settings, and not in the plugin itself.
2. Update WordPress to the latest version.
3. Completely uninstall the plugin and download TinyMCE Advanced from the official website.
4. After installation, activate it and check its functionality.

If this does not help you, the problems may be related to other plugins, sometimes they may conflict, try disabling all plugins and checking if the situation has changed. If TinyMCE Advanced does not work and you need to look for deeper problems with a “clean” engine, you should contact a programmer.

On the administration page: TinyMCE buttons are not sorted, they do not move, the toolbar is empty, other errors on the page

This is usually caused by other plugins that add incompatible JavaScript libraries to all pages, not just where needed. A workaround for this is to try to find out which plugins are doing this, temporarily disable the remaining plugins until all TinyMCE buttons appear, and enable them one by one, checking for changes in the settings.

If this doesn't help, try some general Javascript troubleshooting: clear cache, try another browser, try another computer if possible, delete and re-download all plugin files, and finally install Firefox with Firebug or Opera, note the first one JS causing errors (important) and post it below or search online to find out what is causing it.

Organized the buttons and saved them, but nothing changes in the visual editor on the posts page

Click on the “Delete” button (next to the Save button) and then on “Continue”. Then turn off and activate the plugin again. This will reset all settings that are stored in the database.

Some buttons are missing from the TinyMCE menu, or some tools don't appear at all, or TinyMCE behaves strangely after installing the plugin

Almost all of these problems are caused by the browser cache, or network cache. Clear your browser cache, close your browser, then launch it and try again. If the problem persists, try reloading the page by holding Ctrl (in IE) or Shift (in Firefox) to tell the browser to reload the page from the server. This could also be caused by a network cache somewhere between you and your web host. Just wait a few hours for the problem to go away.

I don't see any styles imported into the "style" dropdown menu

These styles (classes only) are imported from the editor into your current theme's style.css file. However, some themes do not include this file. In this case, follow the instructions on the TinyMCE Avdanced settings page to add your own style.css editor file to your theme. When defining styles, keep in mind that TinyMCE will only import class names:

My_class()

My_other_class()

I just installed the TinyMCE Avdanced plugin but nothing happened

Quit WordPress, clear your browser cache, restart your browser and try again. If this doesn't work, there may be proxy caching or a network cache somewhere between you and your host. You may need to wait a few hours for this cache to expire.

When I add "emoticons" they don't show up in the editor

The Emoji button in TinyMCE adds emoji codes. The actual images are added by WordPress when viewing a post/page. Make sure the “Convert emoji like :-) and :-P to pictures” option in the Settings/Writing menu is checked.

The plugin does not add any buttons, there are no “Visual” and “HTML text” tabs

Make sure the "Disable Visual Editor" checkbox under "Users"/"Your Profile" is unchecked.

Q The visual editor in LiveJournal does not work. How to fix.

The visual editor in LiveJournal does not work. How to fix?

How to do it.

To begin with, through Start we go to the Panel Windows management and see if Java is installed on your system.

If you do not find Java in the Control Panel, then go straight to the item B. Installation.
If you find Java in the list of programs in the Control Panel, then start from point A. Uninstall, then go to point B. Installation.

In addition, I strongly recommend that you use CCleaner version 4.18.4844 (later versions are included in startup).
If CCleaner program not installed on the computer, . (during installation, select the language and uncheck unnecessary boxes).

A. Removal.
1 Go through Start and Control Panel to Installation, removal of programs and components with closed browsers. Remove Java from the system.
2 Run Cclener (fix registry errors and clean the system)
3 In the C:\Program Files\ and C:\Program Files\Common Files folders, delete the Java folders.
4 In the registry editor, find and delete everything related to Java (be careful!!!).
5 Run Cclener (fix registry errors and clean the system)

B. Installation.
1 Go to the page with the Java binary file, not the page with all versions of Java!
2 Click the Download Java for free button and download the jxpiinstall file
3 Copy the file to a convenient location and run it, or run it from the Downloads folder with the browser closed.
4 Uncheck two checkboxes next to ASK!!!
5 Continue installation with the Internet turned on and browsers closed.
6 After installation is complete, launch the browser, go to the Java website, click on the button Check Java version, click the button in the pop-up window Yes.
7 After installation and testing, BE HAPPY that the visual editor in LiveJournal is working and other problems have been fixed.
(in Odnoklassniki the processor does not choke, and a computer with XP, oddly enough, has generally become much “easier” to work with...)

The visual editor does not work - debugging the error

How to fix it - I found the answer on the Internet. First, click on the 3 stripes in the upper right corner of the Chrome browser. Let's go to "tools". Find “developer tools” and the site code will open. Select the “Network” option here, press it, and press the F5 key on your computer keyboard. On the Network tab, some line movements began, accompanied by a change in the location of the colored balls. After that, texts appeared in the visual editor.

On the browser tools page there are several links where a window was found where 2 errors were shown in detail in the codes; according to the results of Network debugging, the codes were large.

Google Help

From the link: "Oh Google browser Chrome", we are taken to a window where we should pay attention to the link: "help for using Chrome". I looked here, there is very extensive material here. It’s worth getting to know him better, this is the original source.

From time to time the visual editor still does not work for me. I debug it as I wrote here and it works again. At least this way, otherwise all work would stop completely. This is the first time I've had such a glitch. Gradually everything got better on its own. Subsequently there were two new automatic updates. After which everything went smoothly, there are no problems now. Sometimes it also doesn’t work on the YouTube channel. I debug the same way as here and everything works out.
