# Visual Editor does not appear

 * I just installed WordPress 3.1.3 for one site. The visual editor, however, does
   not appear when I access it in either Safari 5.0.5 or Firefox 5.0 on a Mac running
   OS 10.6.8. I have no plugins installed.
 * I am using WooTheme’s VibrantCMS. I have the same theme installed on another 
   WordPress site that’s also running 3.1.3, however, and the visual editor loads
   correctly.
 * Thanks for any help you can provide!

 * First try going to the Twentyten theme to see if that resolves it. Sometimes 
   things work differently even though they seem idenbtical.

 * In the **last line** of ‘wp-config.php’ paste:
 * `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );`

 * It worked!!!
    After countless hours of searching and implementing all kind of
   solutions from the net, this is the one that made my visual editor appear instantly!
 * Thanks a lot!!

 * Hm, didn’t do the trick for me. Did you have to restart something to make it 
   work?
    (I mean, how often is this config file being read …)

 * I didn’t do anything special. I just added that line at the end of my `wp-config.
   php` file (which is the default `wp-config-sample.php` file, copied and modified
   to fit my blog’s settings), the resulting final part of the file being:
 *     ```
       /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
       if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
       	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
   
       /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
       define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
       ```
   
 * Then, at the next refresh of the post-edit page (`blog.example.com/wp-admin/post.
   php?post=73&action=edit` – there’s no need for any other restart), the visual
   editor worked as it normally should have.

 * Thank you very much **mozartweb**!!!
    Now the WordPress 3.3 visual editor finally
   works!
