# Why can only post in html code?

 * For some reason, when I go into “new post” or “new page”, all I get is the editor
   that comes with WP (just like on here, actually), however, I’m also only able
   to type in html. I used to have CKEditor, but now that won’t show up anymore.
   Oddly enough, this is a problem only with this one site, not my other WP sites.
   
   What I’ve tried: -deactivating all my plugins…no change. -copied and pasted code
   from CKEditor from other site to this one…no change. -checked the template code
   for anything…nothing found. -changed the template/theme…no change. -Tried in 
   a different browser (I normally use Chrome, tried in Firefox)…no change. -installed
   WP Editor (I figured that if I have to type in code, I may as well get a code
   editor). I thought it was a good idea until I previewed it: there’s a huge space
   between the title and the main text.
 * This isn’t something that just happened recently with the new WP update, either…
   it appears to have done so from a previous version. But again, why only this 
   site and not my other ones?
 * <u>Thoughts for next moves unless I hear from you:</u>
    1. delete and re-install all my plugins
    2. backup the whole site and reinstall WP
 * I’d really prefer to not have to do the second one.

 * Check dashboard, users, your profile and make sure the disable visual editor 
   box is not checked.

 * Thank YOU!!! This was the issue! Something so simple yet driving me insane. Amazing.
   I’d hug you if I could. Thanks you!
