Here is an image which shows the site I'm working on: Link to how the current editor looks
I'm doing some maintenance and conversion on a wordpress site. My client is not fluent in HTML, and wants to be able to edit pages in a WYSIWYG fashion. However, this option does not exist in the current editor. (see image)
I have installed TinyMCE Advanced as per the instructions, it appears in my plugin list (also in the image), and activated the plugin, but I'm not seeing any changes. Is there a base TinyMCE plugin I need to install first? I was under the impression that Wordpress came pre-installed with it.
Some more info:
This is Wordpress 3.4.2
The TinyMCE plugin (if there is one) does not appear in the plugin list.
I do not know if there is an option in any panel where you choose which
Is it also possible to simply add the button to the current TinyMCE configuration? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks,
-Tom

I'm new in WordPress
I misunderstand one thing about the theme use in WordPress
For example, I wanna create the as same website as this I purchased this template.
But when I installed the theme in WordPress it shows me the default Index.php file with little info, used my purchased theme
And when I purchased the theme there exist all src files of the above website.
How I can use my purchased src files of website that will work all function for ex: logins with db?
Thanks in advance!!!!
After you purchased the theme, you probably have just installed the theme and haven't created any pages or tweaked any settings. So if you want to get the same look as that of the preview website, you probably have to check whether the developer has provided any dummy data for importing.
Most of the themes listed in ThemeForest would have the option to import dummy data, so that customers would be able to install some pre-made posts, pages, config, etc. This might be there inside the custom settings page(as a single button to download the content) of the theme, or maybe they have provided it in separate XML files for you to import. If the files you have downloaded doesn't have it, make sure you downloaded All files & documentation. Here's a sample screenshot:
My guess is that you might have only downloaded using the Installable WordPress file only option.
If you are still unable to get the dummy data, probably you have to ping the support of that theme asking them to provide the dummy data.
I created a wordpress theme from blank. But I have some problems. I installed Jetpack but Carousel is not working. If I select the twenty fifteen theme it is working. I also tried many lightbox plugins, but none of them work.
I think this problem is about function.php. What can I do to fix this?
There might be a javascript conflict on one of your plugins, and possibly, on your theme. To debug, first try to set your theme to twenty fifteen, after that deactivate all your plugins, except for the lightbox plugin that you're using. Check if the lightbox plugin is working. If it is, then start activating each plugin one a time. Everytime you activate a plugin, make sure to check the lightbox if it is working or not. If the lightbox stops working after a certain plugin is activated, then that could be a sign on conflict on the javascript.
Let me know if you we're able to do what I suggested. Also, it would be easier for others to help you if you can post a link to a site where you are trying to to install the lightbox.
Forgive me if this isn't the right environment to pose a question of this nature.
I've just been assigned a project to create a site in WordPress based off of a purchased theme of similar structure. This is my first time working with WP, so I'm a bit overwhelmed with where to start.
I'm used to only working through a text editor, but WP obviously has a dev portal online that formatting and content can be built through.
So far I only have my theme imported and activated on WP and the PSDs for the site-to-be.
Should I be doing my editing/formatting/content-building through this online portal? My text editor? A combination?
Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can shed or articles you share!
If you're talking about using the Appearance Editor, use extreme caution. If you mess up a .php file, you can blank your whole website:
Be very careful editing PHP files of your current theme. The editor does not make backup copies. If you introduce an error that crashes your site, you cannot use the editor to fix the problem.
I would strongly recommend that you only use your text editor, and upload your changes to your WP server. Also, make sure you have backups, so that you can revert to a working copy if something goes wrong.
One article that I found on the topic:
Editing your WordPress Site 101
Repeat with me: Never use the built-in WordPress file editor. I won't bore you with all the reasons the built-in editor is a bad idea, but here’s the #1 reason: If you get a white screen of death, there's no way to access your site via wp-admin anymore.
It's a bit of a paradigm shift moving from standard text editor web development into the world of WP. Here are some points to help you along:
You should download/install a plugin called Synchi. This will make the WordPress text editor much more robust. It also allows you the ability to access and modify the WP theme files directly thru the dashboard (Appearance > Editor).
You can use an external text editor and jump back and forth, but I find it easier to stay inside the WP dashboard once you have Synchi installed. I only use Visual Studio if I'm coding something more complex and I want to see Intellisense.
If you are going to be making major changes to your base WP theme, you should create a "Child Theme" and work off of that. http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
There are millions of articles on how to get started with WP, so I'll let you Bing/Google that. Just keep in mind there's a bit of a learning curve so just BE PATIENT - you'll figure it out quickly enough!
I have to agree with the above response - you should avoid using the Wordpress editor for modifying theme files. Use the editor for creating pages and posts, only.
If you truly need to understand Wordpress, you should begin by understanding how it works. Unlike a static html site, Wordpress is created by a combination of php files which create parts of the final page (displayed to the user). Understanding the basics of how wordpress loads files will really help you get started. (tons of resources online)
Find a good text editor (or a free code editor like NetBeans), then learn how to sftp or ssh into your webserver so that you can edit theme files in your code editor.
Once you have that figured out, and understand how Wordpress loads files, you can begin modifying the theme to your PSDs, or create a child theme and do the same.
The point made by the above poster is quite valid... if you miss a tag or some other php error causes a 'white screen of death', you'll not be able to load the wordpress editor (because it's broken) to fix it. Whereas with an sftp connection you can still modify the file, then push it back to the server and reaccess your admin editor.
Basically We are new to joomla.
We have created an article and put a iframe tag inside of it but it happens that this page permission error shows after saving the article.
We have tried this set iframe in article in joomla but we cannot find the options button not sure where it is located.
Updating of joomla to the latest version is not an option now.
Thanks Guys
Since you are already using JCE Editor, you might want to consider their iFrames plugin: https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/plugins/add-ons (it is commercial)
I have created a wordpress plugin from scratch. When I check other plugins in Wordpress admin. If there is any update in Plugins installed page, I can see a message
Say, for e.g Contact Form - I am right now getting a message
There is a new version of Contact Form 7 available. View version 3.7.2 details or update now.
What will I have to do so that people come to know any new version of my plugin is available.
What will be case If the plugin is free and also incase it is paid.
One last question How do add the feature to check for wordpress compatibility of the plugin. Since I have programmed it to work on Wordpress version 3.8.1. How can I be sure that the plugin will also work on lower versions of wordpress 3.8.1. Is installing it on every wordpress version and testing the plugin the only way to know. Or is there any simple approach to know the plugin will be compatible.
Thanks in Advance.
At first, you have to develop the plugin by following the WordPress standard coding guide lines and then you have to submit the plugin to WordPress Plugin Directory and if your plugin get approved then you have to keep it in the WordPress plugin repository. There are several steps for doing this, so you should follow the steps, at first begin from Writing a Plugin.
You also have to be familiar with Subversion (SVN) and ael these takes quite a time to complete the complete process from developing to submitting till approval of your plugin. Also, remember that, the community/team who check plugins submitted by plugin authors are professionals and it could be possible that your plugin might be rejected if the plugin doesn't match the criterion of the standard WordPress plugin, such as licensing, coding style etc.
You may also check this link for useful resources about writing a plugin. It may sounds scary but it's not impossible and very easy, just follow the instructions and keep going on.
If your plugin finally get approved and saved in the plugin repository by you then every time you update your plugin source, it'll be visible in the admin panel of a user who is using your plugin but there are some process related with it, you should keep reading and you'll get the idea. It's not possible describe everything here, it's too broad. Everything you need about plugin development, the first place is the Codex to look information for.
