 * Hi,
    I’m in the process of recovering a WP install from a hack/defacing. WP is
   up and running and I’m using the Vantage theme from SiteOrigin.
 * The TinyMCE widget worked correctly before the hack, but after reinstalling it
   today it doesn’t load at all. I only get the extented html editor, but not the
   wysiwyg editor.
 * I’m using Chrome and the dev tools reported several JS errors while loading TinyMCE:
 * `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'selector' of undefined`
 * `bstw.activate @ black-studio-tinymce-widget.min.js?ver=2.2.5:2`
 * `(anonymous function) @ black-studio-tinymce-widget.min.js?ver=2.2.5:2`
    `m.event.
   dispatch @ load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,utils,plupload,
   farbtastic&ver=4.2.3:3`
 * `m.event.add.r.handle @ load-scripts.php?c=1&load[]=jquery-core,jquery-migrate,
   utils,plupload,farbtastic&ver=4.2.3:3`
 * Can someone help me out with this?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi there,
    since the site was hacked, I believe it’s possible that some files
   are missing or corrupted. I would recommend to reinstall WordPress file, you 
   can do that from the dashboard’s updates screeen. It should just reinstall original
   WordPress files, without affecting the DB.

 * I did a clean install after the site was hacked. The only thing left was the 
   DB. So that can’t be it.
    Can it be a DB issue?

 * It looks like other users are experiencing issues with the Vantage theme ([see here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-not-working-with-pagebuilder?replies=3)).
   Does the problem persist if you temporarily switch to another theme?

 * Are you also using the Page Builder plugin by SiteOrigin?
    If yes please take
   a look at [this topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/official-topic-for-compatibility-issues-with-page-builder-by-siteorigin).
