 * Hello.
 * Like some other people in the world, i faced the problem, that since WP4.7 the
   visual editor is “dead”. You can create content in the text-editor but when switching
   to visual the text box is empty. Although the content is still there…
 * I tried all the suggested solutions i found (deactivating all plugins, etc…) 
   but this did not fix the problem at all.
 * But when i deinstall (not only deactivate) TinyMCE everything is fine.
    Reinstalling-
   > visual editor is dead.
 * Any solution or additional hint?
 * Thanks in advance

 * (Assuming you mean TinyMCE Advanced plugin). This is very strange. When you disable
   a plugin, it stops running and cannot change anything in WordPress. Can you try
   disabling TinyMCE Advanced, then refresh the browser cache and see if the editor
   works.
 * Then uninstall TinyMCE Advanced and see if that changes anything? In normal circumstances
   it shouldn’t.
 * Next step: look for errors in the browser console. Here’s how: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors)
 * If you see any errors, either paste them here or open a new general support thread(
   for faster response).
