Visual editor not working 4.5.2

Hi, I have just installed 4.5.2 and the visual editor is not showing as an option, only the css editor. The only reason I installed WordPress is because I do not code, have no interest in coding, nor have any time or inclination to learn coding. So I’m beyond disappointed. I have searched for an answer but can’t find one here. Does anyone know why this is happening? If I can’t find an answer I will have to delete wordpress and use another cms because I need this resolved asap. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please disable all your plugins and then try to activate one by one to check if any of the plugin is conflicting.

If this does not help then deactivate your current theme and activate the default WordPress theme and check if it works.

Thanks

Be sure the visual editor is not disabled in your user profile in the admin dashboard.

And: what theme are you using? Where did you download it from? http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Forum_Welcome#Include_as_Much_Information_as_Possible

“Be sure the visual editor is not disabled in your user profile in the admin dashboard.”

That’s the first thing I looked at.
The theme is just twentyfourteen. problem exists no matter which theme is installed.

Strange. Go go the Dashboard>Updates and reinstall WordPress; some files may not have copied in the first install.

Did you install WordPress using an installer from the host? Or did you install it yourself?

So your host disabled the visual editor? If so, you either need to ask them to not do that, or find another host.

Had the same issue this morning – fixed it by disabling visual editor on user setting, saved settings – then unticked the box and saved again. Problem solved.

Just wanted to say that brandscapings solution worked for me.

Frustratingly simple after an hour of trying much more complicated things!

Not sure if I’m having the same problem, but a problem I’m having

Cant access the Visual editor.

The TEXT editor is coming up in a reduced box in the editor window.

See a screen shot here:- http://www.t5.cmsmadeeasy.com/WPeditor.png

Details:
WP 4.5.2
ZeroGravity Theme
Chrome 51.0.2704.84 m on Windows10
(Same issue on Safari with Apple)

Having read various threads, I have tried:
Reinstalled WP twice; turned visual off/saved/on in User; deactivated all plugins; switched to standard theme; installed Wordfence; tried adding code to config.php

None of it made any difference.

Please look at my screenshot on the link above and if you can tell me how to solve it, I would be most grateful.
