WordPress 2.5 has been released at March 29. 2008. Many bloggers had install it as soon as it has been released. However, there are many negative feedback and bugs discovered. At the same time, WordPress.org also changed a new look.

I upgraded two WordPress blogs to version 2.5 after its release. The upgrade process is smooth and problem-free. Themes and plugins are working fine. Generally, it works great but with some errors/bugs.

Missing Visual Editor

WordPress 2.5 has a nice Visual Editor but it does not work if your web server has compression enabled (yes, for mine).

The editor area does not display the beautiful buttons of Visual Editor even you have it enabled at WordPress User Profile. Clicking the “HTML” tag does not have any response because it is already “HTML” mode even the “Visual” tag appears selected.

By right, the Visual Editor should looks like following screenshot:

Luckily, I found the solution on WordPress Support Forum. All you need to do is disable the visual editor (TinyMCE) compression setting by editing the “tiny_mce_config.php” file. Or, you can easily install the small plugin called “Testing TinyMCE” to fix the problem.

Thanks to azzaozz for the solution!
