WordPress Speed Up Service | WordPress Website Maintenance Packages Reply To: tinymce not working until add define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true), by Rhand Well either I am thinking a JavaScript conflict because of plugins or a theme which you could test by deactivating plugins, using another theme and checking all while adding a plugin used one by one. If that is not it another issue could be corrupted or hacked WordPress files. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editor-is-blank-cant-edit-postspages-with-editor/ where they discuss a similar issue. They and I recommend to overwrite all core files – wp-admin folder should suffice – with a new copy and see if that solves the issue.
