Visual Editor Blank in WordPress

This has been driving me mad for the last few weeks, every time I went to the editor in WordPress I could only use the HTML tab the Visual tab was blank, just a bare white space.

Having followed the usual WordPress fixes, making sure my theme was up to date, disabling all plug-ins then enabling them one by one I found it was not these.

Tried in Firefox and Chrome but still no joy, then I stumbled over a simple fix which I’d wish I’d known about at the start:

If you add

define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );

to wp-config.php near the top it will work

Ta-da, a simple fix to an annoying problem, hope this can help anyone else out who’s having the same issues.
