 * when I activate the UI for WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart plugin the visual
   editor disappears, I include a screenshot.

 * I can still access and use the text editor, its just Tiny MCE that disappears.
 * The plugin worked as expected when I installed it but when a different user logged
   in as an editor and the visual editor vanished for all users including me, the
   administrator.
    I have tested to make sure it is this plugin by striping the 
   site back to twentytwelve with no other plugins activated apart from UI WSPSC.
   I have replaced the wp-admin and wp-includes with folders from a fresh install.
   I’ve also deleted and re-installed this plugin. I’ve tried a second install with
   a copy of the theme and all the plugins but can’t replicate the issue.
 * If anyone has any ideas before I re-install the whole site I’d be grateful.
    
   Thanks in advance Neil

 * I thought I’d come back and update this post in case its useful to anyone else.
   The problem was that I had changed the name of the wp-content folder for security
   reasons the plugin has the wp-content folder hardcoded in.
 * To fix the plugin I changed:
 * /plugins/ui-for-wp-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-
   cart-ui.php
 * on line 70
 * from
    `$this->plugin_url = $site_url . '/wp-content/plugins/' . $this->plugin_dir_name.'/';`
   To `$this->plugin_url = $site_url . '/NewContentDirName/plugins/' . $this->plugin_dir_name.'/';`
