# Missing “Visual” and “Code” tabs

 * Hi again all:
 * This is probably another easily-solvable question, but I’ve got three installations,
   on three different domains, running of 2.1. The first has the “Visual” and “Code”
   tabs above the text box when writing a new post, and the other two don’t! I can’t
   figure out what’s different…I used Godaddy’s auto installer for all three…am 
   I missing something?
 * Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
 * -j
 * PS: I just realized I’m missing a number of things, such as the “+” buttons for
   each section, or widget, on the page, and the section under the posting area 
   is a preview of the page, and not the exceprts, trackback and custom fields areas.

 * Godaddy, “free with hosting” type accounts, will not show those tabs.

 * One of them’s paid for…but, I bet, if I installed WordPress before upgrading,
   I’m going to have to reinstall it, huh?
 * Crap. Oh, well.
 * Thanks much for the reply. As always, I appreciate it.
