TypeError: tinymce.get(…) is null - Does not seem to be finding ID properly

Question

I'm using tinymce in Wordpress for some custom needs. It was working fine yet now seems to be throwing an error that I previously did not have.

From Firebug :

TypeError: tinymce.get(...) is null

geqqo_new: tinymce.get('geqqo-editor-new').getContent()

However things look perfectly reasonable - they were working before - so please double check me:

JS :

tinymce.get('geqqo-editor-new').getContent() 

GENERATED HTML :

<form action="" method="post" target="_blank">
    <div id="wp-geqqo-editor-new-wrap" class="wp-core-ui wp-editor-wrap html-active">
        <link rel='stylesheet' id='editor-buttons-css'  href='http://localhost/hawaii/somelocal/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css?ver=3.9' type='text/css' media='all' />
        <div id="wp-geqqo-editor-new-editor-tools" class="wp-editor-tools hide-if-no-js">
            <div id="wp-geqqo-editor-new-media-buttons" class="wp-media-buttons"><a href="#" id="insert-media-button" class="button insert-media add_media" data-editor="geqqo-editor-new" title="Add Media"><span class="wp-media-buttons-icon"></span> Add Media</a></div>
            <div class="wp-editor-tabs"><a id="geqqo-editor-new-html" class="wp-switch-editor switch-html" onclick="switchEditors.switchto(this);">Text</a>
                <a id="geqqo-editor-new-tmce" class="wp-switch-editor switch-tmce" onclick="switchEditors.switchto(this);">Visual</a>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="wp-geqqo-editor-new-editor-container" class="wp-editor-container"><textarea class="wp-editor-area" rows="20" autocomplete="off" cols="40" name="content" id="geqqo-editor-new"></textarea></div>
    </div>
</form>

So with all considered, why am I getting an error such as stated above?

Also, this is using Wordpress's tinymce functionality, so perhaps there is a curve-ball being thrown as of this latest version?

Try these step by step and see if they fix the problem:

1. Replace your existing theme with 2014

2. Disable all plugins
