Joomla 2.5.17 Why cannot I see article editor? - joomla

I have upgraded my Joomla site from 2.5.7 to 2.5.17. Then I installed Attachments package.
When I click article manager or category manager in order to edit an article or category, I see a page with no textarea, no buttons, no menus.
All the page content is this.
I have tried to install new text editors: nothing changes.
I have tried to select "No editor" for text editing: nothing changes.

Try these different steps to solve your issue:
1) First, check to see if the editor plugin is enabled:
Tools -> Plugin Manager. Locate your Editor and ensure it's enabled.
Also check Global Config and make sure default editor is set.
You could also try disabling the package you installed and see if it works afterwards. If not try to disable all the editors only leaving the default of Joomla and check again.
2) Change back to one of Joomla's installed templates and see if the problem remains.
If not, then it is a problem with your new template. There is a possibility of javascript problems.
Sometimes enabling the system plugin 'System - Mootools Upgrade' will help.
Otherwise check with your template provider for possible help.
3) Also turn php error reporting on as it may be this problem:

4) Lastly, I like to replace Joomla!'s editor with the JCE editor which has solved many issues like these before.

You get a page like that when you have a fatal error. You can try disabling the attachments plugin and see if it solves the issue. If not, turn error reporting to maximum or development and see what messages you get.

I disabled PLG_EDITORS-XTD_TOOLTIPS plugin and it my problem solved.

JCE Editor not working on Joomla

I installed Joomla 3.6.2 and I just add the text editor JCE editor and its enabled but when I went to article the editor is not active. I tried a different way to fix but no luck. Is there anyone had the same issue and can help me?
Go to Global Configuration from System menu. Then change the value of Default Editor option to JCE.
Alternate Way
Go to User Manager and open your account. In Basic Settings tab change the value of Editor to JCE
After making the change in the user profile, I put it back to default. I then went to Joomla Control Panel, CONFIGURATION, Global and changed to "Editor - None", Save. Then went back changed it back to "Editor - JCE", Save & Close. Now the JCE Editor works with all Users.
I then went to my live site (above done on my test site first) and only made the change/save/change in the Global configuration. Issue fixed.
I guess setting it to none, then back again to the JCE Editor fixed the issue.

Joomla 3.3.1 - Can't edit and create new menus in Menu Manager

I would like to add two new menus to my website, but when I create, or even edit a menu and click Save, Save & Close and Save & New nothing happens.
With Firebug I get
ReferenceError: Hash is not defined
What should I do?
There's a thread here where people have the same problem, and it suggests just clearing your browser's cache fixes it.
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=706&t=844728&p=3171823#p3171823
That would make sense if you have recently upgraded it and Joomla have updated a javascript file from the previous version.
If not, might be worth seeing if it works in other browsers, to see if it is a Joomla or a similar browser issue.
Failing that, re-install the latest version to make sure you haven't overridden any core files.

ace x markdown editor not working for joomla 3.2? alternatives?

So I installed the ace x markdown editor plugin for joomla 3.2 because it has a nice feature to insert code snippets in stackoverflow style. So I really need that.
I tried this extension, but it seems to not work. Is there an alternative?
But: There is no documentation, it seems I just have to enable it and hope it works. But it just happens nothing, the normal editor shows up:
No errors, but old editor:
the plugins are installed:
The plugin is supposed to look like this:
The second step you have to do is going to: Global configuration area and select the new editor, then if you save your changes and the old editor still appearing, it could be because your profile has the older one selected... in this case you have to go to your user details page and select the new editor or put into default.

Joomla 2.5 save, save & close, save & new, cancel buttons do not work

When I try to create or edit an article, category, or module, I am unable to save or cancel the changes. When I click on the Admin buttons, nothing happens. The URL gets a "#" added to the end of it, and I get this error (examples from 2 different editors):
ReferenceError: WFEditor is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit
Line 250
ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=47
Line 247
I have Joomla 2.5.11, no other updates pending. JCE editor, TinyMCE, default, and RokPad all throw errors and don't do anything when I press the buttons. CodeMirror and None are the only editors that I can use to save the article. I have tried uninstalling JCE and reinstalling it, and no changes.
I don't remember the last time it was working, possibly January sometime, if not before then. I don't know if this has anything to do with settings in my php.ini file or not. That was the only thing that changed from the time it was working until now, but it should be back to the "default" settings.
I've tried reuploading the admin folder, but no change. I reuploaded all the Joomla files (except installation) this morning from the stable 2.5.11 package freshly downloaded from joomla.org today, and still having this problem. I've also tried purging cache from the updates manager as well as maintenance area. I've tried 2 different computers, Fire Fox, Chrome, and IE (this was the suggestion in one of the posts I found similar to this issue).
I have been searching for a resolution for months. Any topics I find that sound like my issue end up either not having a resolution, or it's something else that the person is having a problem with. I use both JCE and RokPad on dozens of other websites with no problems.
Thank you for your help.
Do you have extra plugins or modules published on all administrator pages? There could be an extra
Open your console (ctrl+shift+J) and you should be able to locate the error, once you do just try to locate the origin in your code, it's most likely not originating from Joomla core, rather from an extension / template.
Also bear in mind that plugins are active by default on both the frontend and the backend and very often they are not intended to run in the backend, nor tested in the backend.
I JUST FIXED IT!! :) : ) :)
I just switched my hosting's PHP version from 5.4 to 5.3 and voila! It functions as it should. I hope this helps someone! I'm not sure when/why I may be required to go back to 5.4 but for now this solves my problem. Any idea as to why these two versions of PHP behave so differently?

Joomla Article: Edit in standard mode

I am using joomla 1.5.I wanted to add some youtube link to the article so i switched to no editor mode and made changes that worked for me.when i turned back to TinyMCE it still shows articles in HTML mode for all articles in the article manager.how do i switch back to earlier no Html simple text edit mode???
problem solved: I disabled No Editor from plugin manager. Now its switched to default editor
I suggest you to upgrade your joomla version as joomla 1.5 has no support and security updates.
download component JCE Editor . install it and make it default
it should fix your problem and it's much more better than tynyMce
