 * Hi,
    I’m having a problem with the text editor at my site, since yesterday. It
   has worked perfectly fine before that.
 * The problem is that when I open a “text box” that I want to edit in one of my
   pages, the editor is all blank. There is no way to write anything in it, or to
   change the text size, colour etc. Also you can’t switch between Visual or Text
   editor.
 * Does anyone have any idea why?
    I’m just a beginner at wordpress, so I’m very
   thankful to every help I can get!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftext-editor-doesnt-work-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Seventeen theme
   to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
