Two useful plugins for the Wordpress visual editor

March 12th, 2007 - 16:36 | 3 comments

I think they’re handy, anyway:

Enable Firefox spell checking in the Visual editor
Add a toggle switch for advanced features in the Visual editor (try shift-v in IE or alt-shift-v in Firefox to do it manually). The extra toolbar has ‘paste plain text’ and ‘remove formatting’ buttons, which will help with a couple of the VE’s annoyances.

Enough procrastinating, Andrew. Back to work.

Wordpress has its own rich text control (Sorry - “Visual editor”) rather than a open source control?!

It uses the open source TinyMCE. Wordpress itself is open source anyway, though…

Phew, I didn’t think anyone would be crazy enough to write their own
