TinyMCE editor pulgin doesn’t work. When it is activated, the editing field doesn’t receive any input. So when I click the button on the editing box, the cursor doesn’t appear and “Post” button is not clickable.

well no one one else is having this issue so certainly need more info…

Still can’t figure it out.

Have a look if you don’t mind-

Either your WP theme or another plugin is loading an old copy of jQuery (1.3.2) from the Google CDN.

If that is not bad enough it is then loaded again from the Google CDN by either your Wp theme or another plugin and this time it loads version 1.7.1.

This is bad enough as it should (a) Load the version supplied with WP and (b) use the WP API to ensure it is only loaded once.

To make matters worse in your case, another plugin is also loading the Tinymce editor. This might be a commenting plugin which is fine except why is it loading itself up on a page that has no commenting turned on?

These are serious problems and will effect most scripts that use jQuery to a certain extent.

I have exactly the same problem and have deactivated the tinyMCE plugin for the moment. Clicking the box in the options for text editor has no effect – when the plugin is activated you get it whatever option your choose. Tried it with different browsers to no avail. 

did you read the stuff above incorrect loading of js by theme or plugin?  have you verified that?  with a link we could take a look…

I forgot to say that it seems to be consistently running 1.7.1 as far as I can see

1.7.1 of what??

jquery 1.7.1

OP issue was improper loading of js – not using the wp api causing multiple versions to be loaded…

in your case, your wp theme or other is loading a jquery ui version from google api labs improperly instead of using the version that ships with wp…  additionally, wp is the loading its own version and its a different version than wp uses/ships… the two are likley conflicting…

better if the theme or plugin just used the version that wp ships…

That doesn’t sound as if it is going to be easy to find. Do you suggest I try deactivating wp plugins and theme until it works?work

first thing I would try is a temp switch to the default wp theme and see if things work… might quickly isolate it…

then, yes disable all other plugins and see if working… if so, then re-enable them one by one until it breaks…

we might be able to help with small change to the offender when we know which one…

Thanks Mr Papa!

You’re a genius. I suspected the Mingle Social Network plugin and was right first hit. Taken it out and all works fantastic now thanks to your help. 

That plugin is a piece of crap anyway so don’t bother investigating – I’m going to take a look at your plugin.
