Title: Page editor problem Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Page editor problem * [dennis2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis2/) * (@dennis2) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-editor-problem/) * I just upgraded a wordpress site of mine to 3.2, others upgraded fine but now when I go into the dashboard of the site, and try to edit a page, I only get a white box with white HTML inside. I can’t edit pages and I can’t switch from visual (which has the white HTML) to HTML editing. * I’ve disabled all the plugins, cleared my cache, deleted and re-uploaded wordpress files, and tried it on other browsers. * I am still stuck with this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

My screen looks just like [@dennis2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis2/)’ s. I think the Page and Post editing pages are missing some JavaScript. The admin footer scripts link that is loaded on the other pages is missing on these pages. * Note: on these pages nothing happens when I click the “Howdy, {username}” link and the Screen Options link, whereas on the other pages they drop down or slide open as usual. * When I open Firebug in Firefox 6 and click the “Fullscreen” button in the visual editor, the console says “fullscreen is not defined.” * When I click the HTML tab to switch to that editor, the console says “switchEditors is not defined.” * If you go to the pages where the “Howdy” link and the Screen Options link are working and you look in the footer in the HTML, you’ll see the link to the script loader which contains everything that’s missing from the Page and Post edit pages. * [harrylove](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harrylove/) * (@harrylove) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-editor-problem/#post-2170833) * Actually, I didn’t even realize it until now, these pages are missing the closing script blocks, the closing body tag and the closing html tag. * Everything after the #footer div is missing.
