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

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

i cant think » broken
