# TinyMCE problem with wordpress 2.9.2

 * I’m having problems with the editor in WordPress. It doesn’t show the HTML/Visual
   tabs or any of the Visual buttons (obviously) and I can only edit in HTML mode.
   It looks like [this.](http://nl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=syute0&s=6)
 * I’ve read through all the forum threads that looked like they where addressing
   the same issue but nothing worked. I’ve also tried all the basic stuff, like 
   disabling plugins, download a new wordpress and uploading it, nothing worked.
 * Any ideas?

 * I seem to have the same problem as [this person](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279421?replies=1).
   The topic seems to be resolved, but no solution is posted :S

 * Try re-uploading wp-includes through FTP.
 * Next, it could be a server memory problem. Try adding this to your wp-config.
   php on a new line right after db_collate:
    `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`

 * Thanks for your efforts Henk. I was really hoping the memory limit would work,
   but no go. Still the same problem.
 * I’ve deleted and re-uploaded the wp-includes folder AGAIN, but still the same
   problem. It’s driving me insane. Any other suggestions?

 * Just a thought: did you check Dashboard/Users/Profile The top line there has 
   the tickbox for Allowing Visual Editor.

 * I’m having a similar problem (Version 2.9.2). When I try to write a new post 
   the text is white. I can’t switch between visual / html mode. Plus I can’t upload
   any images or add tags. I get a lot of JavaScript errors “Tiny MCE is not defined”
   for example.

 * Tolipoc,
 * Try this first:
    Try re-uploading wp-includes through FTP.
 * Next, it could be a server memory problem. Try adding this to your wp-config.
   php on a new line right after db_collate:
    `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');`

 * stroohead,
 * I was having the same problem. I finally fixed it by removing an .htaccess file
   that I had placed in the wp-includes folder for security reasons. If you placed
   an .htaccess file there for security reasons, try removing it. This is what was
   in my file:
 * Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from all <Files ~ “.(css|jpe?g|png|gif|js)$”> Allow from
   all </Files>
 * It’s great for security so I will just add it back when I finish editing. Hope
   this helps.

 * I’m having the same or similar problem and none of these suggestions solved the
   problem for me. When trying to edit or add a new page or post, sometimes the 
   editor doesn’t come up, not at all. I get the sidebar status information but 
   not the WYSIWYG editor.
 * I’ve tried all the following in various orders:
 * * Clearing my browser cache
    * Rebooting * Clearing Google Gears cache * Installing
   Dean’s FCKEditor plugin * Completely deleting and then re-uploading by FTP the
   wp-includes directory freshly unzipped from the 2.9.2. zip file * Trying different
   browsers (Firefox and Chrome) * Deleting .htaccess file (I didn’t have one) *
   Adding `define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');` to my wp-config.php file
 * The problem persists. Any other suggestions?

 * Contact your host about raising the memory limit

 * I am having basically the same problem, except now I am unable to log into my
   wp-admin, I get this error:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/onlyme/public_html/reviews/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/aioseop.
   class.php:4466) in /home/onlyme/public_html/reviews/wp-includes/pluggable.php
   on line 868
 * I need to get into the dashboard so that I can deactivate the seo-pack, I think
   that this is what is causing the problem, and when I am done, I can reactivate
   it. Any idea on how I can access the wp-admin?

 * I also have this problem, except that mine is a little bit different. When i 
   try to edit an existing message or page the above desribed problem occurs. But
   when i create a new message or page the wysiwyg option works fine.
 * I have tried everything that is advised in this topic but nothing works out.
 * Hope someone knows how to solve this..

 * Try deactivating all plugins. If problem solves, then activate plugins one by
   one to know which one is causing the problem.

 * I had the same Problem, solved it by upgrading to PHP 5, using a Parse-Request(?)
   in the .htaccess. – just two lines of code:
 * AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
 * I’ve been putting them at the End of .htaccess, if you don’t have such a file
   you can easily create one with any kind of Texteditor. Then put it in the main
   WP-Directory using FTP.
 * Here’s where I found this Solution [http://www.mbdealer.de/error-500-internal-server-error-bei-wordpress-2-8-x-und-11-als-webhoster](http://www.mbdealer.de/error-500-internal-server-error-bei-wordpress-2-8-x-und-11-als-webhoster)–
   don’t know if it works allways, but it did in my case. It also fixed a returning
   Error 500 – Problem I’ve been encounting, now everything’s back to normal.

 * If you have the Meebo social plugin installed on your website, the following 
   code will cause the wysiwyg editor to disappear:
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
    Meebo(‘domReady’); </script>
