Title: Code View Missing Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Code View Missing * [DebbieM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debbiem/) * (@debbiem) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-view-missing/) * I have 2.2 installed. When I need to add or edit the code there is NO Code view tab. What happened to it? I did a repair just in case my install was bad, but everything appears to be working OK, I just do not have the Code View Tab. When working with plugins and you need to add code there is no place to add code.

Just use the plain html editor. * Thread Starter [DebbieM](https://wordpress.org/support/users/debbiem/) * (@debbiem) * [18 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-view-missing/#post-620017) * When I go to Write a Page or Post my tabs for switching between Visual and Code are not there. * I went to the Users Tab and made sure the box was checked for using Visual Editor and I still have no tabs about my writing box for the Visual Tab and Code Tab.

It made editing so much easier. Plus working with certain plugins made it easier. * I would just like to have them back. They were there before and they just seem to of dissapeard.

This makes me think that it is not just me. It also seem to be associated with 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 [http://wordpress.org/search/Visual+tab+missing?forums=1](http://wordpress.org/search/Visual+tab+missing?forums=1) * With other people reporting same problem would this indicate a code problem in WordPress?

It is a bit frustrating in trying to create static pages and needing to add certain elements. My work has come to a stand still because of this problem. Who do I contact???? Is this a Web Host Problem or a WordPress problem. I do not know what to do to get these options to display so I can continue my work.

I’m on Firefox, I tried the no plugins thing, I double, triple and quadruple checked my profile settings. No love.
