 * Sirs:
 * I was updating (editing) a page, and it suddenly would not go back to “visual”
   mode. Instead when I toggled it went from HTML to Custom HTML!
 * I removed a plugins but the problem continued.
 * I have WP 5.0.2 and Metric Child theme. I believe everything is uptodate.
 * Help!

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.

 * Thank you for your reply, but I’m not sure you read my post. I said that I disables
   ALL of my plugins and the problem remained…

 * You said in your OP that you I removed `a plugins`!
 * “a” means one. Hence my suggestion to disable ALL plugins 🙂
 * If you have tried disabling ALL plugins, then also, as suggested above, try switching
   to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Nineteen) for a moment using the WP dashboard
   to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * I appreciate your interest.
 * Yes I turned off plugins several at a time — not all at once.
 * With all plug-ins on, I went to other pages on my site and had no problem switching
   between visual and HTML mode.
 * Clearly this seems to me to be an issue with WP 5.0.2, and their new editor.

 * OK, I now turned off ALL plugins simultaneously. No difference. On this page 
   I can not switch from HTML to visual — only from HTML to “custom HTML”.
 * At what point to the programmers take responsibility that there is a glitch in
   WP 5.0.2?

 * At this point I have no solution — other than to simply deal with it. I highly
   suspect that there is a software defect in the new WP editor (version 5.0.2).
   I hope that the programmers are reading this!
