Resolving the Missing Visual/Text Tabs in the WordPress Editor

Are you struggling with the issue of your WordPress editor not displaying the Visual and Text tabs? You are not alone! Many WordPress users encounter this problem after updating their WordPress version, themes, or plugins. In this post, we’ll break down the issue and provide you with a step-by-step solution to restore these essential editing features.

Understanding the Problem

In WordPress, the editor allows users to create and format content easily. It features two tabs: Visual, which offers a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface for editing posts or pages, and Text, which enables users to view and edit the HTML directly. When either of these tabs is missing, it can disrupt your content creation process significantly.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

As described in the issue posed, the user had already taken several steps by upgrading WordPress, the theme, and the necessary plugins. Despite these actions, the Visual and Text tabs were still absent. The user delved into the code, specifically looking at key lines in wp-includes/class-wp-editor.php where these functionalities are initialized.

The user observed that the user_can_richedit() function was returning false, meaning that the user currently editing did not have rich editing capabilities enabled.

Solution: Enabling Rich Editing

To restore the functionality of the Visual and Text tabs, you need to ensure that WordPress recognizes your current user as capable of rich editing. Below we provide a custom function that modifies this behavior.

Step 1: Add Custom Function

Add the following code to your theme's functions.php file or to a site-specific plugin:

Step 2: Explanation of the Code

Function Definition: The function custom_user_can_richedit checks if the user has the rich_editing option set to true or if they are not logged in.

Setting Global Variable: It uses the global variable $wp_rich_edit to toggle the editor capabilities based on the check.

Filter Application: The add_filter function hooks this custom function into WordPress’s filtering system, ensuring it runs when checking if a user can edit in rich mode.

Final Thoughts

After implementing this code, refresh your WordPress editor, and you should see the Visual and Text tabs restored. It’s an essential adjustment that can streamline your content creation process, enabling you to work more efficiently within the WordPress environment.

Don't let technical issues slow you down! With this simple customization, you're now equipped to tackle the missing visual/text tabs issue effectively. Happy editing!
