 * I upgraded to 3.3 this afternoon and now when I write or update a post it is 
   filled with code. I prefer to edit in visual mode but I cannot see any way to
   do this. THere was a choice offered in the previous version.
 * I am using Magazine Premium theme
 * Is there anything I can do to fix this?

 * Make sure you’ve read the entire [Master List post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-33-master-list)
   and the [New Features in 3.3 Post](http://wordpress.org/news/2011/12/sonny/).
 * Go to your own install’s about page – [http://domain.com/wp-admin/about.php](http://domain.com/wp-admin/about.php)–
   to see what’s new.
 * And then make sure you’ve tried…
 * – flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or
   browser caches.
 * – deactivating **all plugins** (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem.
   If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic
   plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try [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. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the [mu-plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network#WordPress_Plugins)
   folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to `mu-plugins-old`
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
   If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP
   so the only one is `twentyeleven`. That will force your site to use it.
 * – manually upgrading. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.
   zip file of 3.3 (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy
   up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server.
   Read the [Manual Update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first!
