# WooCommerce Missing Visual Editor

 * I started playing with Woocommerce on my main site and thought it might be better
   to install it in a fresh install of WP.
 * No problems, until I noticed I’m missing the Visual Editor on the P**roduct Short
   Description**?
 * The only reason this is odd to me is because I have the visual editor in the 
   same place on my test version of Woocommerce. I have the editor available on 
   the main area. Oddly enough, all that shows up in the short description is B,
   I, Link, and Unlink
 * Thank for the help!

 * It seems the update to WooCommerce broke the Visual Editor for Product Short 
   Description. 🙁

 * Ok, so I was searching for a solution like crazy and finally found a – temporary–
   solution. After re-installing every single plugin and theme without success, 
   I was almost giving up.
 * If your button “Visual” in the editor isnt working/responding anymore, after 
   installing Woocommerce, try this:
 * via ftp, (make a backup first) open the file:
 * /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/admin/class-wc-admin-editor.php
 * go to line 55 which looks like this:
 * $arr[‘wc_shortcodes_button’] = WC()->plugin_path() . ‘/assets/js/admin/editor_plugin_lang.
   php’;
 * and comment (put /** before and */ after) the line like this:
 * /**
    $arr[‘wc_shortcodes_button’] = WC()->plugin_path() . ‘/assets/js/admin/editor_plugin_lang.
   php’; */
 * Save and upload. Open a page/post and you should be fine. Hopefully!
 * Enjoy,
 * Flo
