Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. * 2. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled. * Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble. * Thread Starter [Globe Moving](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmsc/) * (@gmsc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12056163) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) Thanks for the response. * 1. I updated all my browsers Chrome, Mozilla, and IE. Actually all are updated. 2. I disabled all the Extensions in Chrome, and Mozilla. 3. Cleared all the browser’s cache and cookies. 4. Disabled all the WordPress plugins and tried. * Followed all the steps but still it’s same. * After disabling all the WordPress plugins, text editor looks like this. Follow the screenshot.

Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Nineteen theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem. * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/). On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal visitors to your site**. * Thread Starter [Globe Moving](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmsc/) * (@gmsc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12063854) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) tried switching to Twenty Nineteen theme, same problem. * And activated Health Check, error shows “The Site Health check requires JavaScript.” * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12063935) * Then I’d have to to return to suggesting that either Javascript in your browser is off, or you have a browser extension that is blocking Javascript (possibly an ad/tracker blocking extensions). * When you visit [https://supportdetails.com/](https://supportdetails.com/) does it also say that Javascript is disabled? * Thread Starter [Globe Moving](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmsc/) * (@gmsc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12064520) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) It’s enabled. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12066402) * Would you please use [https://snipboard.io/](https://snipboard.io/) to provide a screenshot of the full report from [https://supportdetails.com/](https://supportdetails.com/)? * Thread Starter [Globe Moving](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmsc/) * (@gmsc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12067363) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) Hey, here are the screenshots. * [https://snipboard.io/OoisD0.jpg](https://snipboard.io/OoisD0.jpg) [https://snipboard.io/1rgyLE.jpg](https://snipboard.io/1rgyLE.jpg) * Thanks, James for taking the time and helping me. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12067453) * That all looks right except for that Firefox 7, which is old by a factor of years. * I’m assuming you’re running Firefox 70, right? * Is there any change in a Firefox Private window or Chrome Incognito window? * Thread Starter [Globe Moving](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gmsc/) * (@gmsc) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12067509) * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) no nothing. everything is the same. * [https://snipboard.io/t4LxKk.jpg](https://snipboard.io/t4LxKk.jpg) [https://snipboard.io/fGLYiO.jpg](https://snipboard.io/fGLYiO.jpg) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-block-editor-requires-javascript-2/#post-12068638) * Sorry, no I meant is there any change in your site’s editor with a Firefox Private window or Chrome Incognito window? * Also, are you able to use the Classic Editor plugin?
