# 3.9 Visual Editor Insert Link, JavaScript

 * Manually upgraded to 3.9 and have minor issues with the visual editor: Insert/
   Remove link buttons don’t work, add media doesn’t work. All other buttons seem
   to work.
 * I am using a child theme of 2012 and one plugin (Akismet). I completely deleted
   the two plugins, switched to default 2014, cleared caches on two separate browsers—
   same problem. Deleted/reinstalled TinyMCE folder, then entire JS folder. No change.
 * I enabled script debugging; no errors reported. I’ve read the posts on the 3.9‘
   master list’ referencing VE issues.
 * I re-upgraded from within the dashboard; no change.
 * I enabled the console on two browsers and got this error when loading the “Edit
   Post” page:
 * SCRIPT438: Object doesn’t support property or method ‘sortable’
    File: load-scripts.
   php, Line: 57, Column: 1207
 * Clicking on the “Insert Link” button at this time results in this error
 * SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property ‘show’ of undefined or null referenceFile:
   load-scripts.php, Line: 1017, Column: 1491
 * SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property ‘hasClass’ of undefined or null reference
   
   File: load-scripts.php, Line: 1014, Column: 1413

 * I have the same problem – these buttons don’t work for me either.

 * I’ve subsequently discovered that most of the buttons on the right side bar don’t
   work: I can’t add tags to my posts or edit the publishing time, for example.
 * As this was a clean manual upgrade, my only other thought at this point is to
   revert.

 * I deactivated the WPML plugin and the buttons work…

 * I don’t have that plug in so that’s not a fix for me.
 * I gave up and reverted to the most current 3.8. Now it works like a champ…

 * Hi. I just updated to 3.9 and none of my linking works as well. Also feel like
   the media button is off. I deactivated all plug-ins to see if this solved my 
   issues (so I could pin point from there) and NOPE. Any suggestions to someone
   who isn’t very technically inclined is appreciated.
