Hi,

I have a couple questions here:

1. I am having trouble finding out how to activate the text editor in a post like it is on this forum (the bold, italics, underline, buttlets, etc menu we see here between topic name and post body).

2. I am having trouble making hyperlinks even though I have set permissions to allow users to create links.

3. I have set uploading images to not use thumbnails by unchecking the”always use image thumbnails” under content settings. However it still posts thumbnails.

 

Any help on these matters is greatly appreciated. thanks!

1 – You will need to install and activate the TinyMCE editor. Help here: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/plugins/plugin-basics/using-plugins/

2 – it depends on how you are entering them. What is it you are inserting?

3 – Did you also turn off popup image enlargement as this assumes thumbnails will be used. ‘Always use thumbnails’ does not assume that they will not be.

Thanks, I was able to post the hyperlinks after downloading the TinyMCE editor and everything else is also solved.
