How to Fix Missing WordPress Writing Tools
WordPress is currently one of the most popular content management systems in the world. Therefore, when a problem occurs, it can cause inconvenience and frustration for many users.
In this article, we explain how to solve a common issue that some WordPress users may experience. When you log in to the WordPress dashboard to create a new post, you may suddenly notice that some or all of the writing and formatting icons have disappeared from the WordPress editor.
To solve this problem, follow these steps:
First: Check Whether the Additional Writing and Formatting Tools Are Enabled
These tools are related to text and paragraph formatting. They may be hidden when you click the option that hides the additional toolbar.
To display them again, simply click the Show Toolbar icon and make sure that the additional formatting tools are enabled.
Second: Browser Cache or Cookies Issue
In some cases, your browser’s cache or cookies may be responsible for this problem.
The solution is very simple. Try opening your website using another browser that you have not previously used to access the website. This will help you determine whether the problem is related to your current browser.
If you only have one browser available, clear the browser’s cache and cookies, then log in to the WordPress dashboard again and check whether the problem has been resolved.
You can also follow a complete guide on how to clear the cache in different web browsers.
Third: A Problem with One of the Plugins
Plugins are often responsible for many of the issues that occur in WordPress, whether on the website’s front end or inside the administration dashboard.
Check the plugins that you installed shortly before the problem appeared and try deactivating them from the Plugins section in the WordPress dashboard.
If disabling one plugin does not solve the issue, try temporarily deactivating all plugins and check the editor again.
If the writing tools return after disabling the plugins, reactivate them one by one until you identify the plugin causing the problem.
