Advance WYSIWYG editor for WordPress
Jul 1st, 2007 by Asela
Since starting to use “Wordpress”. I’ve been a bit disappointed by their default “WYSIWYG” editor. (On the “write post” page) provided by Wordpress. Not any more though, since installing the “TinyMCE Advanced“. It has given me more functionality than I had anticipated.. Yippee…  :cool:Â
Hope this plug-in is useful to you also.. Here are some screen shots from my Admin section after installing the plug-in..


This plugin enables most of the advanced features of TinyMCE, the WordPress’ WYSIWYG editor. It adds 12 plugins to TinyMCE: Advanced HR, Advanced Image, Advanced Link, Context Menu, Full Screen, Layer, Media, Print, Search and Replace, Table, Visual Characters and XHTML Extras. Together these plugins add over 30 new buttons to the toolbar, which is now two rows plus one hidden row.
All plugins work well, except the Media plugin that has some problems with IE6 (it can edit already embedded flash, qt, wmv, etc. but wouldn’t add them). Also sometimes when turning on fullscreen mode in Firefox, the screen gets corrupted showing through some of the page. To fix it, click “Save and Continue Editing” button.
Some of the new features added by this plugin are:
- Imports all CSS classes from the main theme’s stylesheet and add them to a drop-down list.
- Fullscreen mode.
- Support for making and editing tables.
- Much better (advanced) link and image dialogs that offer a lot of options.
- Search and Replace while editing.
- Some support for XHTML specific tags and for layers.
