For some reason, the wysiwyg editor stopped working when editing blog posts. The content area appears white/blank. However, there’s still a word count, so in fact it’s not empty – I guess.
I can’t say when it stopped working exactly. What I do know is I disabled the toolbar in my profile settings yesterday, so I could view the website in the same browser without seeing the admin top menu. And enabled it again today.
I’ve searched Google as well as the forum here at Kriesi, and found some useful info (like this http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-white-text-and-missing-buttons-in-wordpress-visual-editor), but nothing seems to solve my issue.
Can it be caused by the latest update of the Enfold theme?
Hi Marc!
Please try de-activating all active plugins and check if that helps. If not, please try re-updating the theme via FTP and make sure to overwrite all files – http://vimeo.com/67209750

Thnx for your suggestion. I turned off the latest plugin I started using (rating-widget: https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget) and then the wysiwyg editor started working again: great! Problem solved :-D
Last question: can you guys suggest another rating plugin?
Hmm, now I changed the theme back to Fourteen, and activated the rating-widget plugin again, guess what? The wysiwyg editor started to work again!
So, here’s what we have:
– Using Enfold and not using rating-widget: wysiwyg editor works fine.
– Using Enfold and using rating-widget: wysiwyg editor doesn’t work
– Using Fourteen and using rating-widget: wysiwyg editor works again
Where do things go wrong?
Hi!
Please contact plugin author as they should have better insight on what could be causing the issue. Unfortunately we are not supporting 3rd party plugins
Cheers!

Yeah…
You guys don’t support 3rd party plugins.
And guess the other guys don’t support 3rd party themes.
Anyway, I decided to use another rating plugin, and now things run smoothly.
So this one can be set to resolved.
