 * Hi, I have not had the Visual Editor icons for a few months, I have reinstalled,
   disabled plugins, tried CKEditor etc. etc. Pretty much all the usual fixes. However
   I wondered if it could be the Rewrite rule I use for a multisite causing the 
   issues, however I am not experienced enough to know how to edit it.
 * RewriteEngine On
    Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite1.org
   $ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !wordpress/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wordpress/$1 RewriteCond%{
   HTTP_HOST} mysite2.net$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !mysite2/ RewriteRule ^(.*)
   $ mysite2/$1 ErrorDocument 403 /missing.html ErrorDocument 404 /missing.html 
   ErrorDocument 504 /missing.html # BEGIN WordPress
 * # END WordPress

 * To rule out any theme/plugin conflict, have you tried:
 * – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the 
   problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually(
   one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – [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](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients). Sometimes, an apparently inactive
   plugin can still cause problems. – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty
   Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific
   issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * – Your browser can help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts. Do you have
   any Javascript errors in the console when looking at the editor page?
    – [This article can assist you in doing that diagnosis](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors).–
   If you use any caching systems, like Cloudflare, clear those caches. – Check 
   that the [file permissions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
   of all the PHP files are set correct (i.e., 644). – Specifically check files 
   like /wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce.php and such. – If the permissions are
   incorrect, then some servers running security code like suhosin won’t allow those
   files to run.

 * Now we are getting somewhere, I am getting this error:
 * Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
 * Failed to load: [http://www.mysite.org/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/plugin.min.js](http://www.mysite.org/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/plugin.min.js)
 * The permissions look fine on this file, could the Rewrite rules be confusing 
   something?

 * – to find out for sure, try removing that snippet for a moment.
 * – also make sure tinymce plugin is up to date. And that no files are missing.
 * – you may also try re-uploading that plugin in case any file is corrupted/incomplete.

 * Yes that’s the problem, what do I change in .htaccess?
 * I’ve already manually unzipped and reinstalled WordPress therefore the files 
   should be fine.

 * > Yes that’s the problem
 * Good! That narrows down the cause of the problem.
 * > what do I change in .htaccess
 * Again to be sure, I suggest removing one line of the snippet at a time
    and testing.
