Custom Post Type (wysiwyg editor missing)

I've created a custom post type in WordPress, and the wysiwyg editor will not show.

I'm not using any wysiwyg plugins; just the standard install.

Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Dustin,

Thank you so much for replying, in my case I just realized it was a bonehead mistake on my part. I imported the WordPress database from the old site to the new server, and all the users were checked as "Disable the visual editor when writing". This was however was still displaying the "text" part of the editor which confused me, and removed the WYSIWYG editor from the Custom Post Type.

Thanks!

Hi Christopher, give this a try:

Clear the Browser Cache

Upon our search, we found users suggesting that clearing the browser cache worked for them. The first thing you should try to do is clear the browser cache or use another browser. This could very well be an issue with your computer. If this does not fix your issue, maybe the issue is with your install?

Replacing TinyMCE Scripts

Maybe this issue happened after you updated? Well, its not likely, but maybe something went wrong in the update process. Try replacing /wp-includes/js/tinymce/ folder with a fresh copy.

Fix with wp-config

If none of the above tricks worked for you, then open your wp-config.php file and add the following line at the very top after the php opening tag.

define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
