If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems? * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F) by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download of WordPress? * – increasing the available memory?

Now: * – all plugins are deactivated. * – default theme is switched. * – I reset the plugin folder to an empty one. And later to the original. * – re-uploaded the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from wordpress-3.0-latest ( now in the Dashboard it appears “You are using WordPress 3.0.1-alpha-15359.”) * – installed and activated memory-bump plugin. * – increased the available memory adding this line to my wp-config.php file: /** Increasing memory allocated to PHP */ define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’); * But still not working. I am desperate. What else can I do ?. As it is a new account (I created it yesterday), can I send you my /wp-admin/ login details for you to see and check, please ?? * Thank you again. * Thread Starter [JoseFranc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josefranc/) * (@josefranc) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-edit-tab-does-not-work/#post-1575210) * Esmi. I have found the solution. Everything is working now. I am going to activate the plugins and see if everything keeps working. * What did I do ? I followed VISUALALE advise: Download your wp-config.php and add this line of code at the bottom of the file before the “require_once” line. * define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); * Esmi. Is there any problem with including that line of code ? * Should I leave the PHP memory limit at 256M ? * Should I un-install memory-bump plugin ? * I appreciate your advise. Thank you. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-edit-tab-does-not-work/#post-1575216) * > Is there any problem with including that line of code ? * No. In fact that was going to be my next suggestion. * > Should I leave the PHP memory limit at 256M ? * It won’t have any negative impact on your site if you leave it set at 256M * > Should I un-install memory-bump plugin ? * You could do. It wasn’t needed apparently and I’m all in favour of using as few plugins as possible. * [webdiv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdiv/) * (@webdiv) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-edit-tab-does-not-work/#post-1575340) * [@josefranc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josefranc/) Wow It work for me thanks!!! * [vuhoops](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vuhoops/) * (@vuhoops) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-edit-tab-does-not-work/#post-1575370) * I just wanted to thank folks in this thread. it just helped me tons. * [gfra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gfra/) * (@gfra) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-edit-tab-does-not-work/#post-1575373) * Same here – define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); made the visual editor work again.

But with my limited knowledge of English, I think that Concatenate means putting one thing after another, like the rings in a chain. * [v2006](https://wordpress.org/support/users/v2006/) * (@v2006) * [15 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-edit-tab-does-not-work/#post-1575376) * Thank you!..it worked for me also, however the quick edit and the image editor doesn’t work. I get a blank page when I add images but I can see the preview page. Even tried deactivating all plugins with no luck. * Any solution much appreciated.
