Deactivated WP Edit, deleted it and then re-installed tinymce – no change. Then deactivated tinymce as well. Problem persists. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7011800) * What do you mean “re-installed tinymce” how did you do that? * And, what do you mean by “deactivated tinymce”? Is there another TinyMCE plugin that you have? (TinyMCE is built into WordPress as the Visual editor tab.) * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7011837) * This may be a dup reply. * Several months ago i got a notice that tinymce 4.1.7 would no longer be supported after the WP update 4.3 and that it should be deleted. The replacement was listed as WP-Edit 3.7 by Josh Lobe. * When i began experience the editor problem, i deleted wp-edit and found tinymce on the plugin list and downloaded ans re-installed it. That did not solve the problem so i deactivated it and deleted it again. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7011867) * Ok, try deactivating *all* plugins, every single one. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins). * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012028) * Hi James, * Thank you for your reply. * Deactivated ALL plugins – no change in editor misbehaving. * Activated 2015 Theme – no change in Editor misbehaving. * Changed back to graphene theme – no change in editor misbehaving. * Restored to earlier files – no change in editor misbehaving. * Where do we go now?? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012029) * Huh, that’s very odd. * First, please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting [https://whatbrowser.org/](https://whatbrowser.org/) * If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser. * If it is, please do these two things: * 1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. * 2. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled. * Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble. * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012043) * Hi, * Thank you for your continued suggestions. * Tried all of your above suggestions all to no avail. The wysiwyg editor still does not work properly. * I appreciate your efforts – any more ideas as i am completely stumped. * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012044) * Oops – missed the browser version(s) * IE Version 11 Very rarely used. Mozilla Firefox Version 43 – just updated. * Problem persists. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012045) * Hm, core file corruption, maybe? Seems odd though, but worth a shot. * Try [downloading WordPress](https://wordpress.org/download/) again, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients), or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server **except** the `wp-config.php` file and the`/ wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. * Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them. * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012046) * Sounds like you are suggesting a manual update here – or at least the same procedure. What about the .htaccess file – should that be retained? * As an aside, I forgot to mention that this site utilizes a “child” theme to the original Graphene theme – not my doing. I’m not sure if this could alter a manual update as i have never tried one on a site utilizing a child theme. * Any thoughts here? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012047) * It’s fine to keep .htaccess. You’re just replacing the core files, except wp- config.php and those in /wp-content/ * As long as you don’t replace wp-content, you won’t affect your theme. * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012048) * Well, I did as you suggested AND all to no avail. * The site still resolves and the home and the rest of it look Ok. Just can’t post or add pages or widgets as well as a misbehaving wysiwyg editor. * This gets curiouser and curiouser as Alice said. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012050) * What’s the URL of the site? * Thread Starter [tuftz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tuftz/) * (@tuftz) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-editor-misbehaving/#post-7012051) * [http://www.nevadacountydemocrats.com](http://www.nevadacountydemocrats.com) * I just figured out why the posts and pages weren’t showing up. The site was using menus and not direct post/page operation. One down the rest to go.
