  Hi all,

  Have read lots of posts from people whose visual editor has stopped working. I had a similar problem and wanted to present my solution for those still having this problem. I had this when I installed both locally and also remotely and after searching on my ISP’s help forum I found the solution that solved the problem.

  Sometimes when generating your database, a colon (:) gets inserted into the blog URL address. Strangely, this has been shown to be a cause of the VISUAL EDITOR not working.

  To check and fix:
  1) In your WordPress Dashboard, click on SETTINGS
  2) Look under GENERAL
  3) If your WORDPRESS ADDRESS URL looks like this: http://www.example/:blog then this is the cause of the problem
  4) Remove the colon “:’
  5) Repeat for SITE ADDRESS if the problem is there

  Hope that helps! Jonathan

  You are in the wrong forum, no WordPress.COM has the settings you refer to, your instructions are for a WordPress.ORG install.
