 * Since updating to this version, most of my buttons on the main editing post bar
   have vanished. I still have some in the text version, but there are none when
   I choose visual. Also, there are many times when I can type in the title of a
   blog post, but it will not let me switch versions (visual to text, or vice versa)
   or go to the editing box to actually type in the post.
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * Follow these instructions in exactly this order:
 * 1. Deactivate all plugins. Yes… ALL plugins.
    2. Switch to the default 2014 theme.
   3. Manually empty and refresh your browser cache. Only after you perform all 
   three steps.. will you see the visual editor load properly. 1. You have to deactivate
   all plugins to rule out possible interference from a plugin. 2. You have to switch
   to the default theme because… well… we know it works. 3. You have to manually
   empty your browser cache because the tinymce editor is notorious for holding 
   onto and serving cached files from the server. Now, after your editor is working
   properly again… reactivate your theme. If it continues working… it’s not your
   theme. Begin reactivating plugins (one at a time) going back to check the editor.
   You will eventually find the faulty plugin (or theme) that is preventing the 
   editor from displaying properly.

 * The problem has been solved. It was caused by a problem when updating the Ziplist
   plug in. Ziplist fixed the error for me, and all is well.
