 * Hi.
 * I was using wordpress.com and finally yesterday I took the leap to WordPress.
   org.
 * Set up everything with my host and chose a theme. Customized the header and was
   off to writing posts. But I can’t write posts. The visual editor doesn’t show
   up.
 * I browsed online for solutions and here’s what I’ve tried:
    – turned off all 
   the plugins, which at the moment was only the wordpress importer – still the 
   same problem – tried three different browsers and also Windows and MAC OS – deleted
   cache completely on all browsers – switched to the Twenty Twelve theme – checked
   to see that my user is an admin – enabled and disabled the visual editor in my
   profile
 * And nothing worked. Please, I need URGENT help as everyday I don’t have my website
   running is money I’m paying my server and not using it!

 * Have you tried [reinstalling WordPress manually](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   from a freshly downloaded copy **except** wp-content. Do not overwrite files/
   folders but delete them before reinstalling.

 * Okay, I just re-did everything and it seems to be working now. Really hope this
   doesn’t happen again.
 * Thanks.

 * I just lost the post editor (blank input area) after a faulty backup restore.
   Reinstalling WordPress from the updates area fixed it.
