Well we could help him there but… as has been discussed many times now on this forum – it is just a matter of using the ‘admin_init’ hook instead of the ‘init’ hook for the TM plugin.

A post was create to the author of Ultimate TynMCE at: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/conflict-with-simple-press-tnymce?replies=1#post-4216875

Please post your response in regaads to Ultimate TnyMCE.

so first, which path are you going down?  have you given them access?  if they contact us we can shoot them a copy of whatever they need to play with…  or for testing purposes you could just give them your files or access…

and second, just to be clear, we dont know exactly what the issue is with that plugin… but what we have been seeing with plugins that add buttons and other to the wp editor (tinymce) incorrectly assume that the wp editor is only shown in the admin… but with the wp api, that is very untrue and it can be used in the front end of a site like with simple press…

what Andy alluded to was that for many of the plugins we have run into issues with on tinymce, they were using the init hook to do their thing… that hook runs on both front end and admin side… but other stuff they were doing assumed only admin… for those, simple fix was to use the admin_init hook instead so their stuff only ran in the admin…

as I said, we do not know for sure if that is the issue with ultimate tinymce…

but we are willing to work with them to resolve it…

I stated that your company may contact Ultimate TnyMCE to resolve this. You can read this on their forum. I understand that the problem may not be as was described. The best thing that could happen is both plugin provides work together to seek a solution. Both Ultimate TnyMCE and Simple-Press have been very responsive.

Here is the response from the makers of Ultimate TnyMCE.

After conducting some tests on our local and live test sites, it seems that the richtext plugin for Simple-Press is not working, not even with UTMCE completely disabled.

 

I’m attaching some screenshots to illustrate this. Even if the richtext plugin did work, it would still conflict with UTMCE because they both need to hook into the same tinymce editor hooks in order to work. So the only resort I can think of for the moment is to choose between one or the other. Sorry we couldn’t be of more assistance.

Ron

quite interesting since it clearly works for tens or hundreds of thousands of users…   and you are using it here…

not sure I understand what the issue with using same hooks, but then I dont know how that plugin works…  I assumed it added stuff to the wp tinymce editor, but perhaps it completely replaces with its own copy…

is that a free plugin?

The plugin is free: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/

I am having problems on another site which when Ultimate TinyMCE is active, Simple-Press Rich Text editor will not work.

I will try to take a look at it in next day or two and see if I can see anything… maybe a bit more info than they provided since obviously the wp tinymce works in simple press…   of course, certainly possible the end result will be the same – hope not though…

if you dont hear back in couple days, please tweak us…

hmmmm… interesting… downloaded and activated the ultimate tinymce plugin real quick tonight…  a few tests and its working fine with simple press…

now, this is stock, out of the box, default settings…  I have customized nothing…  but it works together with simpl press… so must be something in configuring options that causes it to go south…no chance to look into that tonight…

Hi Papa,

Talking Manuals is using both Simple-Press Rich Text plugin and Ultimate TinyMCE with success. As I said in my last post, some others sites are not successful using the both. I tested with all plugins deactivated. I have also discovered that other plugins work successful on some sites with the same plugins while others do not. I checked out the database tables to see if any tables were not being removed upon a plugin uninstall – using Plugins Garbage Collector. I do not know why there are these inconsistencies. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts?

Ron

If some sites (like mine or Talking Manuals) work with it, then kind of indicates something unique (could be common) to the ones that dont work…  perhaps some options or addons you have enabled??

can you set it to stock out of the box condition and see if it works?  then start enabling options or addons and see when it stops working…

Hi Papa,

I have the author of Ultimate visiting as admin to the site that these 2 plugins are having conflicts. Will post the results.

okay…  if I get a chance, I still want to enable some options and see what happens… but might be helpful if you told me what you had customized from stock out of the box to save some time…
