 * Also I am unable to switch back and forth between visual and text. On one site
   the visual editor was there, then poof it disappeared 🙁

 * Hi there,
 * I’ve also got the same problem. The visual editor has nothing in it and once 
   i’ve toggled to text I can’t go back to the visual.
 * Anyone got any ideas?

 * Have you tried deactivating all plugins and going through the [3.5 Master List](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/troubleshooting-wordpress-35-master-list?replies=4)?

 * Hello Drew angel, thanks so much for your suggestion. I have not tried this yet,
   and it may be a few days before I have time to go through all this. In the meantime,
   if anyone has the silver bullet, please let me know. Much love to all.

 * Several of my client sites had this problem, although strangely, not ALL of them
   did. Here’s how I solved it, although I can’t be sure which of these things worked:
   
   1. Deleted WP Cache plugin 2. Deleted other unused plugins 3. Go to your user
   profile, check off “disable Visual editor” checkbox, Save, then uncheck it, Save
   again. 4. Sign out and sign back in 5. Visual editor is back!
 * You also may have a faulty install of the new WP. One one site, I re-uploaded
   the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh copy, and that may have also
   helped.
 * I’ve also had problems in the past if I had two SEO plugins active at the same
   time, so check that too. Although with this problem, it didn’t seem like any 
   plugins were the culprit… it has more to do with that checkbox on the User Profile.
 * good luck.

 * Hi, thanks for your note. Good news is that I hired Alex at **[moderated]** to
   fix this for me on all of my sites, and he did so overnight. I don’t know how
   he did it. I’m just glad it’s fixed! I recommend him if anyone needs WP troubleshooting.
