Hi All,
Posts and Page editing. Can only create/edit in the Text tab - There is no Visual tab and as a result no editing tools or buttons. Does anyone know how to turn on this editor?
Regards,
Mark

Problem solved. Deleted WP from a newly created site and re-installed.

Yikes. Sorry to hear you had to go through that hassle, Mark. In the future, I would recommend you drop by your Profile page (click, 'Edit My Profile' in the drop-down menu in the top right-hand corner of your admin toolbar) and ensure that the option to “Disable the visual editor when writing” is not checked. Hope this helps!
