Really not sure how the folder came to be called ‘editor-tinymce-richtext-v2.1.3’ when it should have unzipped to ‘tinymce-richtext’. Can you rename that folder? It should then be OK…

I renamed the plugins as I d/l them to include version numbers – after changing the name it worked. Thanks.

I have another TinyMCE question and if it needs a new topic let me know.

How do I modify the button layout to match the one on your forum? I removed all data from the three lines under the section “TinyMCE Toolbars and Plugins” and almost all the buttons persist – only a few were removed leaving some dividers. I’m not trying to remove them all but was testing to see what I was doing wrong. Again, would just like to see the buttons you have on your forum.

Well these are our settings:

Editor Skin:
cirkuit

Plugins:
inlinepopups,media,spoiler,spellchecker,paste,wordpress,wpdialogs,sphelp

Toolbar1:
bold,italic,underline,|,bullist,numlist,|,blockquote,outdent,indent,|,link,unlink,
|,forecolor,charmap,|,spoiler,|,pastetext,pasteword,|,wp_adv

Toolbar2:
formatselect,|,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright,justifyfull,|,removeformat,
|,undo,redo,|,image,|,selectall,code,|,spellchecker,|,sp_help

Copy/pasted exactly what you have and it almost worked – I now have more buttons than you with one, albeit unnecessary, that does not even show an icon.

Additionally, I must be misinterpreting the layout mechanics – I see fields for “Toolbar 1” and “Toolbar 2” but all icons appear on one toolbar. I was expecting two rows. And your layout calls for

“bold,italic,underline,|,bullist,numlist,” but instead the buttons are rendered

“bold,italic,underline,|,pastetext,pasteword,|”

My client requires Bold, Italic, Underline, Paste options, bullets, justify, links and spell check only so I need to understand how this thing works.

sorry not following…  you aid ‘the buttons are rendered”… not sure what you mean…

yes, toolbar 1 and toolbar 2 would be unique rows…

please paste a screenshot of your tinymce editor settings panel…  and what you see on front end…  can guests post on your site?

any other plugins that add buttons to tinymce editor in the wp admin?  no cachning plugins, right?

Rendered – my first trade is graphic design with 3D modeling as a hobby. Sometimes forget to use “visible” or something similar.

No caching plugins but the WP site does use the “TinyMCE Advanced” plugin, which is great because I can see the buttons I am adding/removing.

As I mentioned ideally I only need to see Bold, Italic, Underline, Paste options, bullets, justify, links and spell check.

sorry, was not clear… I know what rendered means 😉  but not in the context of this sentence:

“bold,italic,underline,|,bullist,numlist,” but instead the buttons are rendered

we always show those items in buttons…  so not sure what you mean by ‘instead the buttons are rendered”

in your image, you have selected a whole lot more than what you are asking for…  are you sure you saved your changes?   put what you want in toolbar 1 and empty toolbar 2…  then save…

Okay I really need us to move past the “render” part – as I admitted, “visible” was a better word.

I have a Monday milestone to have this up and running for my client.

1st screen capture shows what data I entered. I’m just testing to see how much I can customize the toolbar – apparently not much.

2nd screen capture shows the output – obviously not matching the data I input for Toolbar 1.

As I mentioned ideally I only need to see Bold, Italic, Underline, Paste options, bullets, justify, links and spell check.

so you changed it back??  what I am trying to do is make sure when you make changes, that they stick… so if you reload that panel, do they have what you had entered, or do they revert?

and what about answer to the other questions I posed?

The best I can do is post screen captures of what I input and then show the output. As you should be able to see from the screen captures all I input was bold,italic,underline – everything was output.

As I mentioned ideally I only need to see Bold, Italic, Underline, Paste options, bullets, justify, links and spell check.

Just as a comparison, Post #5 shows what happens when I use swordfishes input – still does not work as expected.

sorry, you are not answering my question…  if you put in what you want and save, does it stick??  if you leave that admin panel and come back, are your changes still there?

The screen captures are from hours ago. I have revisited the site several times since then. So yes the changes do stay.

so you still have not answered the questions in post #6…  regarding caching and other plugins/theme potentially doing things to the wp editor (its not our tinymce, but the standard wp editor displayed on front end)…  please answer them…

might be worth, at this point, also sending us (yellow swordfish and mr papa) some temp credentials to log in and look around…  please make the temp account a wp admin AND sp admin… be sure to copy both of us and include a link to this topic so we know what its about…  if that works for you, of course, please do so via PM…

Not using any caching plugins. I might revisit this issue at a later date.

Thanks for the troubleshooting assistance.
