Wow! that did it 🙂 thanks nsathees – I wonder why it happened now though? I’ve had the plugin active for a long time now with no problem. thanks a million though!
RESOLVED!! (I feel like a total nitwit!!) I found the answer to my dilemma from another post here…I had accidentally disabled the visual editor on my users profile page…silly, silly me….but I’m sooo happy I found the answer!!!
I also looked at the ‘new post’ writing page and i’m not getting a ‘visual’ option there either. It’s odd. One minute everthing was working fine (as it has been for days) and the next minute this goes wrong 🙁
I deactivated all the plugins but I’m still not getting a proper editing function….
