 * I have custom editable post type in my website from there any registered user
   can post there content and later edit it.
    Here, am using **wp_editor()** function
   to display the default WordPress editor on front-end.
 * Below is my code am using for displaying the editor on front-end.
 *     ```
       $cs_job_desc = (isset($cs_job_desc)) ? ($cs_job_desc) : '';
                                                       wp_editor($cs_job_desc, 'cs_job_desc', array(
                                                           'drag_drop_upload' => true,
                                                           'editor_height' => 300,
                                                           'media_buttons' => false,
                                                           'textarea_name' => 'cs_job_desc',
                                                           'teeny' => true,
                                                           'tinymce' => array(
                                                               'resize' => false,
                                                               'wordpress_adv_hidden' => false,
                                                               'add_unload_trigger' => false,
                                                               'statusbar' => false,
                                                               'autoresize_min_height' => 600,
                                                               'wp_autoresize_on' => true,
                                                               'plugins' => 'lists,media,paste,tabfocus,fullscreen,wordpress,wpautoresize,wpeditimage,wpgallery,wplink,wptextpattern,wpview',
                                                               'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,bullist,numlist,blockquote,link,unlink',
   
                                                           ),
                                                           'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,more',
                                                           'quicktags' => false,
                                                       ));
       ```

 * I get an editor with buttons using your code in my theme. The only thing I changed
   was `$cs_job_desc = '';`. Be sure your previously set value is a really a string
   here. If that checks out, look at your browser console and resolve any errors
   shown. Script errors will prevent button display.
 * We appreciate that you tried to use backticks with your code. For code blocks
   like that, the first backtick must be the first character on the line. A preceding
   space prevents the backticks from being recognized. It’s more of the forum parser’s
   problem than yours, but try to work around it. When your code is not formatted
   correctly it gets corrupted and is difficult to use by others in tests. Fortunately,
   I was able to fix the problem so I could test. Others are not as well enabled.
   Thanks for understanding.

 * About the only other explanation would be a theme or plugin conflict. Try deactivating
   all plugins and switching to one of the twenty* default themes. Temporarily place
   your code on a theme template somewhere. You will see buttons in the resulting
   editor. Switch back to your theme and retest. If buttons fail to appear, there’s
   something about your theme interfering. If buttons still appear, begin activating
   plugins, one at a time. When the buttons fail again, the last activated plugin
   is causing a conflict.
