 * I installed Editarea and liked it a lot, although from the start it had a problem:
 * I’m using a TwentyEleven child theme, and I haven’t really added much content
   yet. I’m just setting up the styling.
 * Editarea worked fine with the child theme css, but when I would view the parent
   theme css (to copy sections) I would get a script error popup about Editarea.(
   That little popup that says a script has stopped working, and you have a choice
   of what to do about it.) It didn’t really matter to me, since I was only copying
   bits of the parent theme, so I just clicked “NO”.
 * Anyway, I changed over at some point to a brand new Child Theme. Very bare bones,
   not much different from the parent theme. I noticed that Editarea had gone away.
   The toggle box was gone. I tried checking Editarea’s settings but they were still
   the same. I tried deactivating and reactivating it. Still nothing. Then I deleted
   and reinstalled it. Still nothing.
 * Sigh. My site is [here](http://betsysharp.com). It was only a nice little convenience,
   not a necessity, but I really had gotten fond of it before it vanished.
 * Thanks…
 * Betsy

 * Editarea abruptly reappeared a minute ago. Kind of like a poltergeist. Maybe 
   it’ll stick around this time.

 * what browser and wordpress version you are using?
    the common problem is caused
   by browser cache and the script does not loaded completely. try to clear browser
   cache and reload the page.
