Plugin TinyMCE issue

Hi there,

 

I am having a final issue using the TinyMCE editor plugin. Everything seems to have been installed fine. I have selected it as the default editor, but I cannot see it when I want to edit/write anything on the forums. Does this have to do with the option to allow users to choose their editor (I have deactivated that choice). Does the default immediately take place for old users? Thanks again for your help!

its possible that some users who made a selection will have to change… but if they were just using the default, they should change over…

so if tinymce not working, likely an issue with theme or plugin that is adding buttons to the editor…  We just use and display the standard wp post editor for tinymce.. unfortunately many themes and plugins make a bad assumption that the editor is only used in the admin, which with the wp api, is wrong…

do you have a theme or plugins that add buttons to the wp editor?

it could also just be a js conflict…

do  you have a link to your site?  we can check for such.. and if the former, we can usually help you correct the theme or plugin… 

you could also try a switch to the default wp theme and see if it works then… or disable the other plugins for quick tests…

Hi Mr Papa,

We figured out the conflict. The plugin CK Editor for the WordPress admin was conflicting with everything on the SimplePress side of things. Deactivating this plugin made preview, mentions, quoting and TinyMCE work.

Thanks for the help!

strange. it must have been tying into the wp editor… and like I mentioned, incorrectly assuming it was only used in the admin…

glad its resolved!
