Edit Post box has HTML, even though "Tiny MCE" is selected in settings

This issue is in regards to the "Edit Post" feature:

We can post topics just fine and the Tiny MCE editor shows up.

(NOTE ABOUT THE FORUM SETTINGS: The forum settings are set to not allow users to set their own editor, and Tiny MCE is selected as the default editor in Simple-Press settings. So in my opinion, Tiny MCE should be showing up as the editor when someone choose to edit their post.)

Any time I choose to click the "Edit" button and edit the post, the result is that the entire post shows up as HTML code in the edit box and there is no Tiny MCE editor at all.

Our forum members will freak out and have no clue what to do with all these HTML tags.

In other words, when a forum member chooses to edit their own post (as all members can edit their own posts), then they will see this mess and not know what to do.

Any ideas why this is happening? They should be seeing Tiny MCE editor, not HTML tags.

Thanks.

whatever editor the user gets when making a post is the same editor a user gets when editing a post...  there is no facility to make it any different...

so if thats not happening, sounds like a js conflict... do you have link to site?  or maybe a caching issue - you are not caching the wp page the forum is on, right?

No, I'm not caching it. I'll turn off the plugins and check for a js conflict and the see if that's it.

Yeah, it was a plugin that was causing the jquery conflict. It was a plugin called "Responsive Addons" which accompanied the free theme "Responsive" from Wordpress.org.

Fortunately, the theme seems to behave the exact same way with the offending plugin deleted, and the problem has now gone away. Thank you!!

Actually, it seemed to also be "PHP Text Widget" that was causing part of the conflict. Weird. Solved now.

Thanks for the update... Sometimes plugins add tinymce buttons or plugins but do it wrong... They assume the wp editor is only used in the Admin but the wp editor fully supports being used on the front end...
