Wordpress TinyMCE Issue - Editor Tabs Not Showing

0
votes

I have an issue where the Wordpress Editor tabs 'Visual' and 'Text' are not visible. I have tried all the below:

  • Disabled All Plugins
  • Enabled TwentyNinteen Plugin
  • Installed and Activated TinyMCE Advanced Plugin
  • Added define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);
  • From Profile Settings I tried toggling 'Disable the visual editor when writing', saving every time I toggle the setting

All the above did not work and Editor tabs are still not showing. When in local environment everything works fine.

The issue seemed to be with the user-agent, there is a whole article about it: https://benjaminhorn.io//code/wordpress-visual-editor-not-visible-because-of-user-agent-sniffing/

Basically the filter below sorted my issue:

<?php
/**
* Overrides the function user_can_richedit and only checks the
* user preferences instead of doing UA sniffing.
*
* @return bool
*/
function user_can_richedit_custom() {
    global $wp_rich_edit;

    if (get_user_option('rich_editing') == 'true' || !is_user_logged_in()) {
        $wp_rich_edit = true;
        return true;
    }

    $wp_rich_edit = false;
    return false;
}
add_filter('user_can_richedit', 'user_can_richedit_custom');
