Supercharge The Rich Text Editor of Your Blog

Posted on November 6, 2008
Filed Under Wordpress |

So you want to supercharge the WYSIWYG rich text TinyMCE editor in wordpress? Well than, there is a great plugin that is just for you! With this nice plugin you can do all kinds of trick things to posts and page text with just the press of a button.

The rich text editor that comes default on a standard wordpress install is not really all that bad.

However, I would often find myself doing or adding things to the raw code or in html mode on the editor to get the desired results.. Doing things in the raw code is not a big deal if a person knows html and how to use it well. But we all like to progress and many times people would rather not have to mess around with the raw html code just to make nicely formated and feature rich posts. After all that is what a ‘WYSIWYG’ visual editor is for, right?

This plugin will add all kinds of extra buttons and functions to the default wordpress editor. It makes the Wordpress TinyMCE editor look similar to the image below.

Advanced Editor

Notice the Font size and Font family buttons? Those two alone make this plugin well worth installing. Plus all the other trick features it adds. Things like adding tables to posts, using inline css styles, a spell checker, find and replace words and more cool stuff too. Like adding captions to words in the text like this for example! Hover over the word and see a popup tool tip!

I highly recommend adding this plugin to your wordpress blog editor. The TinyMCE Advanced plugin is found at laptoptips.ca. The developer did a wonderful job making the plugin and also has a great website with other nice plugins to offer as well.

I have to say, the TinyMCE Advanced plugin adds some great functions to the default wordpress rich text editor and makes it more efficient and enjoyable to write posts.

    Hmmm but how much server CPU resource does it use. And how long do you have to wait if your net connection is bad that day.

    I know it’s all the latest thing to have server side software but until we have 99.999% uptime and repsonse times of UNDER 0.1 seconds, I prefer WYSIWYG and anything doing supercharged processing to do it on my machine - the one I don’t share with anyone and that doesn’t have a dodgy copper wire connecting my screen to it (well I hope not)

    I have always had trouble with WP’s standard text editor not doing what I wanted it too. I never knew if that is how it is meant to behave or they are just bugs.

    Cheryl,

    Have no fear, the advanced editor works great. I use it everyday and install it on all on all my client sites too.

    It is a nice addition to a WP blog. Just takes about 10 minutes to set up, clear the browser cache and after that it works flawlessly.

    Thanks for dropping by.

    I never knew this WP plugin exists until I read your post. I should start using it. The default text editor lacks functionalities. Thank you for the awareness.
