 * We are trying to hide the visual editor, however when we select “text reader 
   only” it makes no difference.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftext-reader-only-selection-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * it could be a theme or plugin issue
 * Themes
 * As a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwenty, and see if this fixes.
 * Plugins
 * If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and style
   pack and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which 
   is causing the error.
 * If you cannot do this to your site (say because it is live) then use the ‘troubleshooting’
   features of this plugin to let you test without affecting other users

 * I’ll also add to everything that [@robin-w](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robin-w/)
   just mentioned –
 * Another user recently posted this issue, and it was due to his browser cache.
   Once he cleared his cache, the proper editor box then showed. Same could be true
   for any WP site caching plugins and/or any CDN cache.

 * [@realityhousedev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realityhousedev/) – It’s
   been about a week, so I’m assuming that you got this straight after trying our
   suggestions. Marking as resolved, but feel free to post here again if you tried
   all of that and still have issues with the right editor being displayed.
