Quick Tip: Fix Visual Editor / TinyMCE in WordPress
I recently had an interesting problem where the Visual Editor (or TinyMCE) wasn’t working in WordPress. 4.0. I tried the normal stuff as recommended by most forums and blog posts, including…
- Disabling all plugins
- Disabling the theme/using a default one
- Reinstalling WordPress
- Making Sure “Disable Visual Editor…” was not checked.
None of those worked so I decided to try saving my user profile with “Disable Visual Editor…” unchecked. The exact steps I took were:
- Go to Users -> my User Profile
- Check “Disable Visual Editor…”
- Save Profile
- Uncheck “Disable Visual Editor…”
- Save Profile
That managed to fix the Visual Editor. I hadn’t seen the suggestion in my travels, so hopefully this will save people some time.
