I thought it was only temporary... :(

About a month ago, the kitchen sink on most of my Wordpress websites disappeared.

I researched the issue and found recommendations like turning on the visual editor in the Users section of the admin area, deactivating/reactivating installed plugins, changing themes, etc. I tried them but it didn't solve the problem.

So I decided to wait thinking maybe the issue was just a bug or something and that it would get fixed with the next WP update.

I was wrong. As of this writing, I still can't access the kitchen sink on my Wordpress dashboard and I'm starting to go nuts about it.

Can anyone please help me out of this? How do I get back the kitchen sink/visual editor?

      I checked your site out and I can't really figure out what your talking about but something I did notice is your site take for ever and a day to load. I got dial-up like many people still do. Just something you might want to think about.

      I think you should concentrate on making just one image for your main page background instead of having flash, that's what is doing you in.

        You can install the plug in tiny MCE..

        This has a many more functions than the standard wordpress kitchen sink.. You can change the fonts and get rid of the boring old times new roman

      You would never be able to figure out what I am talking about because you were looking at a different website. I am having a problem with my site, but not the one in my signature.

      Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give the Tiny MCE plugin a try.

      To the OP: Does the kitchen sink appear when you switch to the Twenty Eleven theme? If not, make sure Javascript is working on your browser. Try it in different browsers as well.

      Ricochet's suggestion to install TinyMCE is also an option.
      Thanks for chiming in. No, the kitchen sink is still missing even when I change to the 2011 theme. And my browser is also enabled for javascript. I have also tried loading the site's WP admin area in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari - the problem persists, there's no kitchen sink.

    Seems to me that your editor is stuck in HTML mode. This could also be caused by filepermission/ownership issues. Can you get your hosting provider to take a look into that?

      They're on it, trying to help me. Problem is, they see the kitchen sink okay. It's showing at their end.
