Personal Blog of Mike Bowden

Recently I went to write an entry for my blog and was a little peeved when I realized that my WYSIWYG Editor was missing in WordPress. I didn’t think anything of it and figured it might have something to do with Flock as I had been having problems with it recently. So I decided to sleep on it and wait till tomorrow to resolve the issue.

When I got back on this morning and decided to try for the same entry, I had the exact same problem. The WYSIWYG Editor would load just fine, then when the page finished loading it would vanish. So I went through some plugins in Flock and in WordPress that I had installed between the time that it had worked and didn’t. That didn’t resolve the issue.

So I then decided to clean out Flock’s cache and saved history, figuring that it might have had some files downloaded that we’re loading and causing the issue. That didn’t work either. It then dawned on me that I had turned on the Google Gears Turbo feature in WordPress and that it might be causing the problem.

So after disabling the plugin within Flock and reloading my blog. BOOM it worked.

So….. if you’re having problems with the WYSIWYG Editor not showing up in WordPress, disable the Turbo option, which is located under Tools/Tools and see if that resolves your issue.
