Recientemente uno de nuestros usuarios informó de un problema / conflicto / incidencia muy extraño con su instalación. Al escribir una entrada, no podían ver nada de lo que estaban escribiendo. Porque el texto del editor de entradas era blanco. Más importante aún, todos los botones del editor visual faltaban, y la posibilidad de cambiar de Visual a HTML no funcionaba. En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo corregir el problema del texto blanco y la falta de botones en el editor visual de WordPress.
Nota para principiantes: Si usted está buscando botones ocultos que se pueden ver en las capturas de pantalla de otros sitios, entonces usted está probablemente buscando el fregadero de la cocina. Tendrías que hacer clic en el icono de Kitchen sink para ver estas otras opciones como Underline, copy from word etc.
Algunos sitios también utilizan el plugin TinyMCE Advanced para añadir otros botones que no están ahí por defecto.
Para el resto de ustedes que están realmente teniendo un problema con los botones que faltan o texto en blanco en el editor visual, y luego continuar con este tutorial.
Vaciar la caché del navegador / explorador
En nuestra búsqueda, hemos encontrado usuarios que sugieren que vaciar la caché del navegador les ha funcionado. Lo primero que debes hacer es vaciar la caché del navegador o utilizar otro explorador. Podría tratarse de un problema / conflicto / incidencia de tu ordenador.
Si esto no corrige el problema, ¿tal vez se deba a la instalación?
Sustitución de scripts TinyMCE
¿Tal vez este problema se produjo después de la actualización? Bueno, no es probable, pero tal vez algo salió mal en el proceso de actualización. Intente sustituir la carpeta /wp-includes/js/tinymce/ por una copia nueva.
Corregido con wp-config
Si ninguno de los trucos anteriores le ha funcionado, abra su archivo wp-config.php y añada la siguiente línea en la parte superior después de la etiqueta de apertura php.
define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
Este truco corrigió el problema de nuestro usuario que informó de esta incidencia. Esperamos que alguna de las soluciones corregidas en este artículo solucione tu problema con el texto en blanco y la falta de botones en el editor visual de WordPress. Si has encontrado otra corrección que te haya funcionado, compártela en los comentarios.

Nothing worked since I upgraded to the latest WordPress! Visual Editor Button shows but not responding when clicked.
Disabling all plugins, Not change;
Including the define ( ‘CONCATENATE_SCrIPTS’, false ); No change
Change themes to WordPress default, nothing
I am tired.
WPBeginner Support says
Hey Kevlin,
Try disabling browser extensions. You can also use inspect tool to see if there are some errors or warnings displayed in browser console.

Hi
I used the plain HTML option in GetResponse to create a simple form containing email field and signup command button. GetResponse preview form is good. Next I pasted the code in my WordPress.org V4.8 text editor. Noticed there is are a 4-5 lines gap between the fields and the command button in the visual editor. Tried deleting the spaces in WordPress page using the visual editor but somehow the HTML code got deleted too. Would appreciate if anyone could inform me how to delete the spaces between the email field and form command button
Elviera says
Thank you – it worked for me!
define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);

fixed by removing a .htaccess file I’d put into wp-includes following a wpbeginner recommendation = #4 in https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/9-most-useful-htaccess-tricks-for-wordpress/
Tripti says
Hey
I am not able to access the HTML Text Editor. I can see the button but if I press it, nothing happens. The Visual Editor is visible but is completely blank and in some pages has just some random text in it.
I tried all of the solutions listed here but nothing has helped. If anybody could help me? Please?
Frank says
Worked like a charm – thank you so much!
Should I expect any side effects though?
Matt Clark says
SOLVED! This solution worked for me.
Adding… define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); to your wp-config.php file just below the…. define(‘DB_HOST’ line.
You have to do so by accessing your FTP (or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel). You can edit the file with a plain text editor or TextWrangler!
All the best,
-M@tt
Bo says
Can’t thank you enough. Adding config line brought it all back.
Had NO IDEA how to fix it.
GEORGE says
Solved the issue by adding the code line!!

I’m facing similar issue. After the latest update (Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit), it appears that WordPress image edit button is missing when editing a post in chrome. I know that it’s NOT a WP issue because it works fine in Firefox. See attached screenshot. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Todd says
I did #2 and #3…I don’t know which one worked, but one of them did indeed fix it!! Thanks.
Sabrina says
Thanks for this post!
The last trick with the wp-config file fixed this issue for me.
Deborah says
Thanks so much – I put
1 <?php
2 define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
It worked PERFECT!
Philip Jugasingham says
Thank you so much,it’s back after update the editor.
Jack Walrad says
Having a weird version of this issue. If I log in to my wordpress editor (on godaddy server) from my office machine I have no problem with Visual Editor. However, logging in from home PC the Editor does not appear. Same logon details, same acct, just different machines (both using same version of Chrome). Would love to solve this.
Jack Walrad says
I have a very challenging version of this problem. If I log in to my wordpress site (hosted by godaddy) from my office I have no problem with Visual Editor. However, when I log in from home, using exact same acct, same username/PW, Visual Editor exhibits the problems spoken to here: no text, no editor toolbars and no ability to switch from Visual to Text. I haven’t a clue. Any advice on this would be very appreciated.
Brenda Cooper says
I have the same issue as you, Jack. Please can you tell me how you solved this?
Sami says
Thank you for such a helpful and wonderful blog!
This might sound like a silly question but where is the “wp-config.php” located? I expected to find that file under “Appearances”–>”Editor” where other .php files are but I cannot find this one. Am I missing something? Thank you for your help!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Sami,
It is located in your site’s root folder. You can access it using an FTP client or file manager in your web hosting cPanel.

Hello there, I faced with the same problem with my two installation. I switched different themes but it didn’t work… Lastly I found AdBlock blocking something and checked it, let AdBlock ignore my sites and it worked fine.
If you use AdBlock, check it first before you implement something or making any change. I highly suggest this.
MF says
I had this problem and define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); fixed it!!
What does this script?
qborg says
define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); helped.
thanks guys!

Hello Guys ,

Any Solution of this problem ???
Thanks in Advance

This question does not pertain to this particular thread, you might try searching fusion builder and unable to edit page. This is a different problem. Are others still experiencing?
Michael Bach says
Hi,
Thank you for the help. To all those that had no luck like myself I found that if you use cloudflare your servers firewall may block some of their IP’s deniying you access. If you go to development mode and inspect the element and get a 522 error then go to cloudflare, copy their IP ranges and whitelist them on your server. This worked for me!
Juba says
Thanks !!!!!!!
Eleina says
Just wanted to say thank you; I added the code you suggested to the WP-Config file and it solved my problem – after a lot of searching, thanks so much!!!
Daniel S says
I replaced TinyMCE and it didn’t help. Then finally I edited wp-config.php and added
define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
as suggested and it did the trick! It works fine just as before! Thanks a lot for the tip!
Cleiford says
Absolutely awesome. This solved my problem. Thank you so much.
Vicki Kessel says
I can not get any of these fixes to work, is there anyone that can help? I am sick about this.
ricardopelin says
none of the others fix have worked with me I am desperated…
pls HELP ME
Ghio Coste says
if does not work the above – define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); – you should look if some other malicious code in your website and if you use any cachein program disable and clear the cache.
kindest regards to all.
Chris Alphen says
I tried this solution as well as many others suggested elsewhere. My problem is not the white on white but the fact that visual editor is blank even though there is plenty of content. Editor opens in text where content is visible but when I toggle to visual it’s blank. Then text is also blank when toggling back and then another toggle removes the compose window entirely.
After the upgrade to 4.6.1 I started to see minor indications of this problem but a refresh usually allowed me to continue. Upgrade to 4.7 made the problem worse so i reverted back to 4.6 but still in limbo.
I’d appreciate any suggestions
Thanks
OctoFreddy says
thank !
same probleme and with update wp-config with ( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
What are the consequences for the future updates, is this DIY?
Theron Rawls says
Having this same issue but it’s only when someone using another user role other than administrator attempts to post to a post. I attempted all of the above with no luck.
Any other ideas?
Mark says
Ok – this is very frustrating!
Thank you by the way! I have applied the define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); to several sites and had it work, then, I have on another two sites and it does not!! I cant edit any pages or do anything in the back-end of these sites!
What is the cause of this has anyone determined it? and the permanent fix?
Thank you!
RiZ says
Tried all of the above, but the only solution that worked was refreshing the .htaccess file.
Mark says
How “exactly” did you “refresh the .htaccesss” where is it? How?
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Mark,
You can refresh .htaccess file by updating your permalink structure. Simply visit Settings » Permalinks page in WordPress admin area and then click on the save changes button without changing anything.

Joni Solis says
Refreshing the Permalinks helped me — Thanks so much!
Naijaitunes says
I also have ride same issue I tried all the above method but non worked
Steve says
If none of the above works for you, here’s another couple of things to try:
Log into PHPMyAdmin, click on your database’s ‘wp_options’ table and look for the record called ‘can_compress_scripts’. If this has a value of “1” for the ‘option_value’, change it to ‘0’ then save the change. (If you can’t locate this record in your table, it’s possible that it doesn’t exist, in which case you’ll need to create it.) Now try logging into WordPress and see if you can create a new page or post.
If not, the other thing that sometimes does the trick – and this is mainly for those who have a relatively new install – is going into FTP and just plain wiping everything and re-uploading a fresh WordPress install. Stick your details in wp-config.php as normal but leave the database as it is. Try logging into the dashboard and creating a new page or post. Within a few seconds, the toolbar and black text should hopefully reappear. You could then try adding things one by one – your previous theme folder, your plugins, and so on.
Thanks!! says
Changing this value in the table worked for me on 9 WordPress installs. Thanks!
Dwayne says
I had this issue on one of our sites and the method of changing the database value fixed it. Thank you very much

I love you man you saved my life

Will be appreciated…!
Nicolas DEPOILLY says
Hi,
I updated my wordpress to last 4.6.1, and it wasnt working also on previous versions.
Browser cache is cleared, wp-includes/js/tinymce removed and reinserted from scratch 4.6.1 wordpress, plugin tinyMce updated to last version ( as well all removed and reinserted from scratch to version 4.4.1).
I have in my config file :
file : wp-config.php
<?php
define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
…..
I just tried all solutions above, none of them worked, any idea?
Thanks
KP says
Thank you! ~ from another one for whom it took the “define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);” addition to work.
It went white-on-white midway during some set-up editing, possibly with some plugin updates.
Dave Newman says
I just tried all of these things with no success. Then I deleted my .htaccess file at the site’s root and it came back. It’s been missing for months!
Eric says
Worked, thanks! define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
mike says
thank you man
Neal Ghoshal says
Thank you for the post – much appreciated …
Adding
define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
to my wp-config file finally did the trick. After 4 hours of struggling with the issue … but glad to find a solution!
have a great day
Dennis Brown says
Sorry I don’t understand you instructions above… define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false); How do i find the location to post this please?
Carolina Llanos says
Open your config.php file in the root folder of your site and add this line after “<?php"
ADD THIS: define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
Save and upload again. It worked for me
