 * I recently updated WordPress to 3.7.1 and did a lot of work trying to stop Hostgator
   from restricting my account due to excess CPU usage. Somehow, in the process 
   I broke the visual editor. I can add tags, add a headline, etc, but I can’t put
   put any information in the big text field.
 * If I disable the visual editor in the user profile, I can add or update pages
   and posts in the text field. But if I have the visual editor turned on, the text
   field is blank when I try to edit a post, and when trying to add a post I can’t
   get the cursor to go into the visual tab’s text field, and can’t switch to the
   text tab.
 * I disabled all plugins, didn’t help. I switched to Twenty Twelve theme, didn’t
   help.
 * Any ideas?

 * I see in [another thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-18?replies=11)
   that CloudFlare can cause this problem. I did turn on CloudFlare, since Hostgator
   told me it woudl cut down on CPU problems. This is when the Visual Editor problem
   started. The CloudFlare site was down so I couldn’t contact them for support.
   I immediately removed my site from their system and deleted the CloudFlare plugin
   from my site. The Visual Editor still didn’t work.
 * Is it possible that CloudFlare changed a file somewhere on my site that I could
   fix with a simple edit?
