TinyMCE Editor Set Default Tab

Question

I removed the tabs from the WP editor using

wp_editor('', 'some-id', array('quicktags' => false) );

But sometimes when the page loads the TinyMCE field loads with the Text tab selected:

Rather than the HTML tab:

Is there a way maybe with JS / JQuery to make sure the tab is always the visual HTML tab?

Already tried:

add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";') );

Answer 1

I came across this page -- http://wp-snippets.com/set-default-editor/ * -- which looks promising, though a little out of date. Instead of their code, I would suggest trying this:

add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', 'wpse101200_default_editor' );
function wpse101200_default_editor( $editor ) {
    return 'tinymce';
}

Reference

WPSeek's wp_default_editor() page
wp_default_editor() in the WordPress core source

Unfortunately, the Codex doesn't currently have a wp_default_editor() page.

Answer 2

My solution. I found that the problem was a JS WP setting. A refresh of the page was required to make the editors initialise with the new setting

<script>
if (getUserSetting('editor') != "tinymce") {
    setUserSetting('editor', 'tinymce');
    location.reload();
}
</script>
