• I just upgraded to version 2.1 and I’m having problems with Write Posts. (I’m using WinXP, Firefox 2.0.0.1, and I also tried it in IE 7 and had the same probs with it.)

    Under Users > Your Profile, I do have the box checked for “Use the visual editor when writing” and Javascript is enabled in my browsers.

    However when I updated from v2 to 2.1, I lost my toolbar on my visual text editor. When I click the “Write” tab, it comes up with a blank post and the “Visual” tab is selected. However, there’s no buttons (for bold, italic, insert link, etc.) as there used to be. If I add a photo by using the “Upload” tab below that, and then I send it to the editor — it displays the HTML for the image rather than the visual representation even though it’s on the visual tag.

    Also… if I click the “Write” tab to write a new post and it loads a blank post — then I click the “Code” tab”, the text area for the post just goes white and disappears and I can no longer type at all — if I click the “Visual” tab to switch back, the textbox is still gone and I have to reload the entire page.

    I made some screenshots, if that helps any…

    Here is my “Visual” write post page (where did my editing toolbar go!?)

    Here’s what happens if I’m using the “Visual” write post and click to add a picture from the upload tool below it — it inserts the CODE for the image rather than the actual image (like v2 did before I upgraded…?)

    And here’s what happens if I click code — the textbox where you type totally disappears. Click all you want, it’s not there. If I click to switch back to the visual editor, it’s STILL not there and I have to reload the whole page and I lose anything that I’ve typed so far:

    OK sorry to reply to my own topic so quickly —

    But I made a fresh installation of WP in a subdirectory of my site and when I go in and do a “Write Post” in the NEW installation, the Rich Text Editor works FINE! So it’s apparently NOT a browser problem…

    It must be a problem with when I upgraded!

    Can anyone tell me what file(s) control the RTE so I can try re-uploading them or something?

    Thanks!!

    Hey, I have an identical issue, the RTE simply does not work. If anybody knows, please post a list of those files, I’d appreciate it too. Or maybe it reqires some edits in the database?

    Thanks.

    JarasM —

    I think I figured it out. I deleted and RE-uploaded the /wp-includes/js/tinymce/ folder and then did a CTRL+F5 hard refresh in Firefox and FINALLY it seems to be working! Hopefully that will help you out too.

    *sigh* Nothing, it still doesn’t work, checked under Opera 9.10, IE7 and FF2 🙁 Actually, if I recall correctly, I think it stopped working sometime before upgrading, so it propably has different cause… Oh well, I guess I’ll have to solve this myself.
