Tiny MCE Broken Wordpress Upgrade

I recently upgraded a Wordpress install and completely broke my editor. Upon inspecting the console I noticed the site was missing 2 important javascript files, both named en.js, in 2 different locations.

Fix:

FTP into your Wordpress install and go to wp-includes > js > tinymce > langs
Duplicate the file called "wp-langs-en.js"
Rename the copy "en.js"
Duplicate "en.js"
Move the copy ("en.js copy") to wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/langs/ and rename the files to "en.js"
Refresh your browser and see the editor functioning LIKE A BOSS

Did you know?

WordPress sites collect scripts from themes, plugins, and tag managers. A compromised plugin update can add a skimmer to every page without a change in your own templates.
