TinyMCE Buttons Disappear in Wordpress
After upgrading one of my bigger blogs manually to the latest version of Wordpress (version 2.2), my TinyMCE buttons (the WYSIWYG editor buttons on your writing / editing screens that let you format your text outside of HTML / code mode) had disappeared.
I was still getting the “visual” and “code” tabs, but couldn’t format my posts without turning off the editor in my user profile and doing it in HTML (which I don’t mind, but I prefer having the options readily available at one click).
Anyway, I just spent the last few hours searching for a solution. Plenty of people were having the problem, but there weren’t a lot of solutions suggested other than “clear your cache,” or “reinstall the TinyMCE files.” Those didn’t work.
I did finally find the solution through the Wordpress support forum (after several other similar threads with no luck). As it turns out (in my case) the problem was with the MyLinkOrder plugin from Geekly Weekly (love the plugin). Even though I had the latest version, I had to reinstall it with some apparent fixes, and it worked fine.
Apparently the MyCategoryOrder and MyPageOrder plugins have similar issues. So just a heads up… if you’re finding similar issues, and you’re using one of those plugins, try reinstalling it. Other than that, good luck.

Yeah, they’re often a nightmare, and when I finally find someone asking the exact question I have, it’s always a given that there won’t be any answers.
