Wordpress New Post Edit Toolbar is Missing

Symptom: When I start a new post on my Wordpress (example: http://website.com/wp-admin/post-new.php), I have the following problems:

  1. The tinyMCE editing toolbar is missing, and
  2. Text does not appear when typed in the body of the new post

Attempts: Following Wordpress' guidelines, I tried the following without success:

I opened Developer Tools ("F12") in Chrome on the new post page and found the following 3 errors:

  1. Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) -- [wordpress-website]/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js?ver=349-20805
  2. Uncaught ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined -- wp-langs-en.js:1
  3. Uncaught ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined -- post-new.php:760

Question: What must I do to get the edit toolbar back?

You can replace the contents of the wp-includes/ directory where TinyMCE is located. You can either do this via the admin area updater, or you can do it manually.

Automatic way

  • Log into your WordPress admin area
  • Navigate to Home > Updates
  • Click the Re-install Now button

Manual way

  • Download a copy of the version of WordPress you are currently running (if you are not running the current version you can find a copy in the release archive)
  • FTP into your site
  • Make a backup of your wp-content/ directory
  • Delete the wp-includes/ directory from the server
  • Upload the entire wp-includes/ directory from the new copy of WordPress you downloaded

You should now have a completely replaced wp-content/ directory and all of the TinyMCE files will be on your server.

404 errors are an indication files may be missing. Have you verified the files haven't accidentally been moved or deleted?
