    I Just did the update to WordPress 4.6 and now my Visual Edit feature no longer works and my whole editing feature for pages or posts, only works if I go into my account and I check the (Disable the visual editor when writing) box.

    I dont know if there is an easier fix that I can do to fix just the problem and keep the update, instead of having to unistall the whole wordpress update and reinstall the old version / then upload an old backup?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Please disable *all* plugins and change the theme to twentysixteen. If the problem goes away, turn things back on one at a time until you find what’s causing the problem.

    Is there a way I can do that that wont affect the live site. Or a way to test it without turning off my store and current plugins that operate the actual site?

    if you don’t have a dev site on which to test, you have to do it on the live site. So what are you doing “tonight” at 3 AM?

    I did the test, and it worked with 2016 and all of the plugins activated. But when I switeched to the Theme I am using, it went back to the same problem. Knowing this is the theme causing it, What should I now do? Is there a way to keep the theme and just eddit something in the css or style to fix this or is a new theme the ONLY option?

    You need to contact the developer(s) of the theme. What theme?

    I just conacted the developer of the theme and was told this “Ah, looks like Repro is one of our older themes, and is no longer for sale or supported – Sorry about that!

    Let me know if you have any other questions,”

    Great Customer Service from Theme Zilla…. so Is this the end of the road for me, or is there a way I can do it / edit the theme to make it work?

    Well, first you’d have to figure out what part of the theme broke the editor, then you’d have to figure out how to fix it. Given that it’s old and unsupported, that doesn’t sound pleasant.

    You could hire someone on jobs.wordpress.net to do it for you or (probably better) choose a current theme from a vendor that supports it.

    I’d ask themzilla if they’d credit you something on a new theme. (Don’t know if they will, but it sure doesn’t hurt to ask.)
