Visual editor problem with wordpress 2.5
Apr 8, 2008 Computer, Internet, wordpress
Let me say this first, wordpress 2.5 is a hell lot of problems for me. I hate its interface, and there’s no visual editor (TinyMce). At least that’s what I thought of before I saw people complaining their visual editor not working. I actually thought they removed it but no it’s not. That means? I’m one of them that has a malfunction tinymce ( visual editor ) wordpress.
okay.. That’s’ a geek word.
There is a button called visual inside write page but, no visual button. Just your normal html interface. Damn irritated! Using xamp I tested wp 2.5 and I saw it’s working fine on my server. reupload all wp files all over again for countless time but the visual is still not working. fresh install couple of times but it still didn’t work but when I tried on another folder and another domain? it worked. WTF
Pissed off. I read all threads regarding this problem and finally found a solution from a guy nick azzorr or something. Thank you for helping my pour soul azzorr… I didn’t sleep at all last night fixing these problems.
Here’s the fix for all of you that are having same problems as I am.
To summarize the most common problems and solutions for the visual editor:
1. Compression is enabled on the server. If it’s set properly (in php.ini) the compressor for TinyMCE would detect it and not try to compress the js. To check for double compression: with Firefox, go to [your-site]/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php. Should be a large text (js) file, starting with “var tinyMCEPreInit = …” and last line starting with “tinyMCE.init({mode:”none”,…”.
If it’s not - edit tiny_mce_config.php, looking for
‘compress’ => true,
change to
‘compress’ => false,or if preferred, download this small plugin that will disable caching and compression when active:

Oh wait, that’s not the end of my problems. As it turns out, it seems that all of my tags are not working. Aside from unresponsive scripts of multiple custom fields that suddenly appears out of nowhere for the past 2 months… now my tags are bunch of numeric code that has no value. I had to manually reinsert tags over n over again. Imaging doing that for about 200 cumulated posts…
