fast fix for WordPress WYSIWYG visual editor not working or not appearing

many people have problem with broken visual editor after upgrading their wordpress to version 2.3.1, seem that it have something to do with tinymce javascripts. after tweaking and re-upload new files from 2.3.1 release and subversion it give me nothing, so i decided to upload js from previous version (2.3), then i checkout what have been changed/fixed in version 2.3.1, i found that no javascript-related bug being fixed. taking this into consideration, i decided to re-upload js file from prior version (2.3) and…walla!! my editor are back :D

so, if you still want you WYSIWYG editor back, but those stupid so-called helper at wordpress support forum keep telling you how to alternatively turn off visual editor instead of fixing it, you may try this.

just simply re-upload wp-includes/js folder from wordpress 2.3 replace 2.3.1 wp-includes/js

i hope this will help you get your visual editor back,but i may not be responsible if any bad thing happened to your site due to this solution since i didn’t know what the effect of this. but i seem working fine,autosaving work great,spellcheck doing fine. hurm… no problem at all i think [smokin]

note: please clear your browser cache after re-upload those js files. then view your write post
