 * WordPress is version 3.8.5
 * Since upgrading the Nextgen Galery plugin, the add gallery button has disappeared
   from the post editor.
 * In the JS console, there is a failing call to wp-admin/css/widgets.css and also
   anUncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
    wp-tinymce.php?c=1&ver=359-20131026:

 * [@codecowboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codecowboy/) – I would suggest…
   actually **strongly recommend** … updating to the current version of WordPress
   as well as ensuring all active plugins and your current theme are up-to-date.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * Thats fine in the longer term but in the short term I needed to get things working.
   Its not always practical in the real world to update WordPress just because a
   button isn’t appearing. The site in question has been neglected for a while and
   I’m only willing to update WordPress once I can test that this will not break
   the site’s core functionality which the owner relies on for his income.
 * For anyone else who has a similar problem, I found that disabling the plugin,
   visiting the post editor and then reenabling the plugin solved the issue in the
   short term.

 * [@codecowboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codecowboy/) – Thanks for the
   update, but keeping current with WordPress is both a short-term and long-term
   item in and of itself. The essence of staying current is also in the best interest
   of any site as well and often times corrects conflicts that are causing issues
   with plugins and/or themes.
