Since I upgraded from Moodle 2.0 to 2.1 I've lost the tiny MCE editor in the "Content" portion of a page. The weird thing is it still continues to function for the "General" part. See attached screenshot. I've checked the usual places (admin, plugins, html editors, Tiny MCE on top, use html editor in profile, etc.) Any ideas?
Re: TinyMCE editor shows up in "General" but not for "Content"
Ok this is really strange. I've been troubleshooting this all day and I've got it narrowed down to a simple fix. If I change the domain name of my site this works (I need to change it in the config.php file AND in the hostname that apache responds to, and my dns of course) but then the same moodle core files and the same data directory and the same database suddenly tinyMCE loads on both screens. Why would that be?

We were having exactly the same problem where the TinyMCE editor was appearing in the description, but not in the page content. We're using Moodle 2.2.3 and it occured for pages that had been upgraded from Moodle 2.0 as well as new pages. It seemed to be only happening in some browsers (IE for us, and only some version/s - not sure which one/s).
The fix of changing the activity description to not be required (as suggested by Graham) works! I don't understand why this is, and too bad if you want it to be required, but for us this fix is fine.
Thanks Graham for suggesting this!
