 * This is annoying – after upgrading to v4, `wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.
   php` is 403’ing
 * I’ve:
    - reuploaded `/wp-includes/` and `/wp-admin/`
    - deactivated all plugins
    - deactivated all themes
    - turned on `wp_debug`, and `error_reporting()`
    - checked error log – nothing
    - changed all `.htaccess`‘s to just the wp-generated rewrites
    - changed the content of `wp-tinymce.php` to just a hello world, same 403
    - changed the `chmod` of the file, and each of it’s parents to `777`, still 
      a 403
 * Now I’m completely out of options. I’m starting to think something in apache 
   thinks there’s an inject or some crap like that. I’ve contact host, I’m looking
   for ideas, please advise!
 * _(For keyphrases for anyone else searching this problem: tinymce not working,
   text formatting not working, visual tab not working, text all white no buttons
   wordpress editor.)_

 * ugh, it appears it was (the dreaded) server-side cache on a .htaccess firewall
   from [http://perishablepress.com/6g-beta/](http://perishablepress.com/6g-beta/)(
   culprit in this case was likely the URL length.. but i don’t know for certain,
   I had done about 50 different things then 10min later everything was fine)
