 * I have looked through all of the past comments on this matter and I haven’t found
   anything to help me.
 * I cannot switch between “visual” and “text” on editor while I’m trying to update
   my website. This has been an annoying minor problem for awhile now, but as of
   today I cannot switch at all… period. I’m stuck on visual, therefore I cannot
   type anything at all.
 * I just updated to version 4.2 on WordPress.
    I have cleared my browser cache (
   I use Chrome). I have tried to run this through Internet Explorer (it didn’t 
   work). I have deactivated plugins to see if that’s the conflict (it isn’t). I
   have changed my theme to see if that’s the problem (it isn’t).
 * What do I do? I’m getting very frustrated because I just want to be able to post
   on my blog without all of this drama.

 * I fixed my problem. Thank you.
 * For anyone else that may see this and wonder what I did, go to the browser where
   you’re having a problem (for me it was Chrome and I clicked control+shift+j) 
   and read the error report that it gives you. It told me exactly which one of 
   my plug-ins was the problem. I deactivated it and everything went back to normal
   for me.
