 * WHY am I only seeking this editor… when trying to type a blog post.
 * I have already deactivated all plugins.
 * Please see image.

 * No image in your post.
 * But most problems with displaying the editor point back to a conflict– usually
   with plugins, but sometimes with themes. Have you tried switching to a default
   WP theme like Twenty Fourteen?

 * I just noticed this is in the “Installation” section. Are you just installing
   WP and this is not working?
 * If that’s true, please try downloading a fresh version WP and unzip the files.
   Then using FTP or your hosting account file manager, reupload the wp-admin and
   wp-includes files — but not the wp-content files (that’s where your own themes,
   plugins & updloads live).

 * Hi. I think that I may have put this in the incorrect slot. But after updating
   WOrdpress to the latest version. I can only write post in html editor.
 * help….

 * So I take it from your response that it DID work at one point, but doesn’t any
   more.
 * You said earlier that you deactivated all the plugins, but this didn’t solve 
   this issue. This problem is very often a plugin issue, so if you left a few active
   before while testing, do try deactivating all of them.
 * Otherwise, have you tried changing the theme to Twenty Fourteen?

 * I believe you need to click on visual in the editor area, vs… being in the text
   mode.

 * that image shows where the visual and the text mode selection is at on top of
   the editor to write your post.
 * and this post: [http://www.rv5.com/switching-between-visual-and-text-mode-in-wordpress/](http://www.rv5.com/switching-between-visual-and-text-mode-in-wordpress/)
 * explains a little difference between the two…

 * @rv5.com: I don’t think that’s actually the OP’s issue, but it’s good to verify.
 * When the visual editor disappears, it’ usually a plugin or theme conflict, sometimes
   related to javascript. Identifying the offending plugin or that it is the theme
   is the first step to fixing it.
