| | 2 min read

A few Drupal users have encountered an issue where the Drupal CKEditor Toolbar went missing in the preview after adding content to the node as though they had clicked on the switch to the plain text editor option. They were left with a plain text view of the content. If the text was removed from the body field the Toolbar seemed to appear again in the preview. If you are facing this issue in the CKEditor in your Drupal site then read onto fix the problem.

Here is the fix. First do a preliminary check to see

  • Firstly check if the problem is with the DEV version of the Drupal CKEditor module
  • Use the Firebug console to see if there are any errors on the site. Users have reported a "POST http://{host}/ckeditor/xss 404 Not Found" error when switching between plain text and rich text editors
  • Check the status reports of your Drupal site for any related errors.
  • It could be an issue with the theme you are using. Check the current Drupal theme

Here is the fix if you found the error in step no. 2

  • Check out the Apache config file of your Drupal site for any incorrect paths.
  • Comment out any incorrect paths and this should fix the issue.

Hope that helps.
