 * Hi guys,
 * i’m having some troubles with post/page editor (sometimes also plugin editor).
   The editor is simply not loading, the text is there, but in white and i can not
   switch to html version.
    I have to reload the page couple times and than it works
   sometimes. I tried deactivating all plugins – that helped little bit – editor
   works more times than with plugins. Any ideas? Thanks

 * Open wp-config.php and try adding the following line before “That’s all, stop
   editing! Happy blogging” Add this to your wp-config file (not the best solution,
   but now you may be able to use admin again): define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

 * have you tried:
 * -deactivating ALL plugins (yes, all) temporarily to narrow down the problem. 
   If the problem goes away, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find 
   the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try [resetting the plugins folder ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some 
   plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them
   and force them inactive).
 * – To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default
   twenty twelve theme for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access
   to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current
   theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder
   name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host 
   provides.

 * yeah i tried that, the problem is that the error doesn’t occurs all the time.
   so i deactivated all plugins and activated them one-by-one and i tought that 
   i found the corrupt plugin, but then after time (with no changes made) editor
   wasn’t loaded again.
    so i could not test this out accurately. i remembered now
   that couple times it helped to delete all of the posts revisions, but that’s 
   not really problem solving.

 * hi, so i get this error today again, so i tried to deactivate all of the plugins(
   than it was working) and then activating it one-by-one.
    with this test i find
   out, that the editor is not loading after activated these three plugins: Private
   Messages For WordPress, SEO Facebook Comments, WP Smush.it
 * Are there some alternatives to them? Most of them i would need some alternative
   intern WordPress messaging system.
 * Thanks

 * As you know now, those three pugins are breaking your theme.
 * Contact the plugin authors and see if they have updates to their respective plugins
   that will mitigate your problem.
