Along with this, visual editor buttons were missing and user is unable to switch from visual to HTML. To fix this issue of white text and missing buttons in WordPress Visual Editor, try one of the following mentioned solution:

Hidden Buttons:

You are looking for hidden buttons, then you are probably looking for the Kitchen sink. You only have to click on the Kitchen Sink icon to see options such as Underline, Copy, etc.

Clear Browser Cache:

You should try to clear your browser cache or use another browser. If this does not fix your issue, then maybe there is an issue with your installation.

Replace TinyMCE Scripts:

This issue may happen when you update your WordPress version. It is not necessary, but may be something went wrong during the update process. You should try to replace /wp-includes/js/tinymce/ folder with a fresh copy.

Fix wp-config.php:

If none of the above mentioned solutions worked for you, then you should open your wp-config.php file and add the following command at the very top after PHP opening tag:

define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
