The first thing to do its to restore WordPress from the backup you took before you did your upgrade.

Once you have it restored you should check to make sure all of your plugins are also updated to the latest level, because the likely cause of your problem is a plugin incompatibility with the newest version of WordPress.

If in doubt deactivate any questionable plugins and try the upgrade again. Then activate them one-by-one - eventually it will likely break again, and you'll know which plugin is causing the issue.

Restore a second time from your backup and then remove the offending plugin. After that you can upgrade your WordPress installation again, and this time it should work.

Hi Robert

This does indeed sound odd!

Do any of your other plugins incorporate the same Tiny MCE editor that WordPress uses? If so I'd try disabling it. Again a plugin conflict could be responsible.

Also, based upon your experience of having the column return when you cleared your cache I'd be tempted to try it with a browsers that has "never seen" the site before - perhaps Opera or Safari. See i fit looks correct there.

For the record I have a few dozen test sites that are at the latest version of WordPress (plus some running beta's of future versions) and have not experienced this problem with any of them. I usually use Chrome, but also use Opera as well, same experience with both.

Not sure if any of this is helpful, but best of luck with it - keep us posted too, as others may experience the same problem.

Hi Paul:
Thank you so much for your video - It works!

I've spent the whole afternoon searching for a solution regarding this nasty problem of my wordpress visual editor not showing and then I've stumbled upon your video.

There are countless solutions offered on other sites and forums and almost all of them involved tweaking the wp-config, deactivating and activating installed plugins, adding or removing codes in the theme's php files, etc. Little did I know that the simple solution lies in just unchecking that tiny box in the user's admin area! And it was done in less than a minute! Lol!

Thanks again, Paul, for taking the time to create that video and sharing it with us here in the forum.

Regards,
Henry
