Visual Editor TinyMCE Not Showing Up in WordPress Fixing : Alternative Cheat Sheet
Well, the TinyMCE on this website is not working on this website too. But, we are sane enough not to digg behind it and loss a huge energy. The reason is – first we use the HTML only Editor :
It will give you the basic editing panel. Thats enough to copy paste and Publish the post. Now, how you will write the post properly in HTML. First, there are lot of TinyMCE Editors available which you can install on your server separately. Write normally and copy paste the text as HTML. Do not upload any image – that you have to do from dysfunctional Visual Editor of WordPress. Alternatively, you can use another WordPress website, may be your localhost installation to get the HTML from the visual edit.
This is definitely not a fix, but far better than wasting a huge time to discover the reason, which who knows may not be solved, just because we do not know the fix. Never do any change in permission of files (CHMOD) – it might solve your issue but can make the WordPress hackable.
