Why does the Wysiwyg module and Ckeditor library not show the CKEditor when editing a node?
In the CKEditor page you have to select Enable in CKEditor -&gt; EDITOR APPEARANCE -&gt; "Default editor state".

This you can find in admin/config/content/ckeditor/edit/&lt;yourtextformat&gt;



Or if you dont want to enable that by default, then you can click manually "Switch to to rich text editor" in /node/&lt;nid&gt;/edit
