# [Plugin: Magic Fields] HTML / Visual Editor not working. At all.

 * Hi all, please forgive me if I do not explain myself correctly but I am by no
   means experienced with using WordPress, or coding languages. I am able to make
   minor code changes but that’s about it.
 * I maintain [http://www.reubenfeels.com](http://www.reubenfeels.com) which was
   created for us by a third party. I add new ‘Case Studies’ ([http://reubenfeels.com/case-studies](http://reubenfeels.com/case-studies))
   of our work using Magic Fields, which automatically adds a thumbnail to the table
   list linked above.
 * My problem is that approximately three weeks ago, the fields I use to write and
   format these case studies stopped working correctly. I usually format my posts
   using the HTML tab and check my work in the Visual tab. The problem is, my Magic
   Field entry box now looks like this:
 * [http://reubenfeels.com/images/Screen%20shot%202012-07-25%20at%2014.22.19.png](http://reubenfeels.com/images/Screen%20shot%202012-07-25%20at%2014.22.19.png)
 * As you can see, there are none of the formatting buttons required to make us 
   of the WYSIWYG editor. This should not be a problem as I could just use the HTML
   editor as usual, but when I click the HTML tab… nothing happens. The tabs change
   colour, as they do when you switch between tabs, but I am still in ‘Visual Mode’
   with no formatting buttons.
 * The only tags which work at all are ‘bold’ and ‘line break’ in this window, but
   it will also will only allow me one line break – if I add two ‘p’ tags only one
   will be used, resulting in an ugly ‘Wall of Text’ that I wouldn’t dream of publishing.
 * The end result of this is that I am unable to format my case studies the way 
   I want, not can I add links or images, and therefore I can’t produce case studies.
   I’ve scoured Google for a solution but nothing seems to help – and yes I have
   deactivated / reactivated my plugins one by one with no change.
 * The editors I use for Blog Posts still work correctly. It’s just the Case Study
   editor that seems to be affected.
 * One final thing – I have not made any changes to the back-end of the site that
   could cause a change to the admin panel in this way. At least that I am aware
   of. This problem just appeared one day.
 * Any help much appreciated.

 * It appears the visual editor will only appear for the custom fields if the main
   content editor is also on the visual tab. Try selecting the visual tab then refreshing
   the page and the tabs should be working as intended.
