 * Hi having replaced the ultimate tinymec editor with wp edit, I decided to replace
   the tinymce widget plugin with wp editor widget (0.5.3). When I open the widget
   for editing, I cannot click in the visual editing area and i see no editing toolbar
   or icons. The add media link works, although I didn’t acstually try adding an
   image. I have deactivated the tinymce widget plugin.

 * Hello nstratman!
 * Which version of WP are you using?
    Which web browser and OS?
 * Do you have any other plugins that somehow alter the editor in WP?
 * Have you tried to just temporarily deactivate any other plugins and clear the
   browser cache? Or test the plugin on the same setup but with another Theme?
 * Do you get any error messages in the browser?

 * Hi Thx for getting back promptly. Sorry, I should have given you more info in
   the first place. I’m running WP 3.9.1 on Firefox / Win 7 HP. I tried switching
   to WP 2012 theme which made no difference.
 * I’ve just deactivated all plugins except WP Edit and your plugin, and the problem
   disappears. So over the course of the next few days I’ll see if I can home in
   on which other plugin is causing the conflict.
 * It’s not operationally urgent, as the site supports the PC classes I run in my
   local community, and we are currently in recession.
 * Regards, Neil

 * Hi, the plugin which is causing the conflict is WP Download Manager. In fact 
   prior to switching to WP Edit and WP editor widget, I also recently got an error
   with Black Studio tinymce widget on a different site which was also caused by
   WP Download Manager. This is discussed in [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/compatibility-with-black-studio-tinymce-widget?replies=1).
   
   The temporary fix will appear as a permanent update in a future release of WP
   Download Manager, but of course I can’t say if that fix is the same as required
   to fix the conflict with WP Editor Widget. I applied the fix to one of my other
   sites. In the next day or 2 I’ll try the same fix on the site I am reporting 
   here to see if it fixes this issue too.

 * Ah. Ok. Did you try the latest version of WP Download Manager together with WP
   Editor Widget? (The same version of WP Download Manager that worked with Black
   Studio TinyMCE Widget?)
