 * Having the same problem as many others: after updating my version of WordPress
   to the most recent, CKEditor makes the visual editor blank (and makes the tab
   buttons to switch between HTML and Visual editors not work).
 * The error I get in my console is “TypeError: e.widget.extend is not a function”.
 * I don’t want to bug my coder for changes to the .js file if I don’t have to —
   is there an easier fix I’m missing?
