Get More From Your WordPress WYSIWYG Editor

May 9th by

If you’re blog is running on WordPress 2.1, there is a cool little trick that you can do to completely upgrade the built-in WYSIWYG editor.

WordPress Advanced WYSIWYG Editor

This expanded WYSIWYG editor will give you the ability to easily control:

  • Text styles
  • Underlining
  • Full paragraph alignment
  • The color of your text
  • Two varieties of paste (text and Word)
  • Formatting removal
  • Code cleanup
  • Insert custom characters
  • Undo/redo

The nice part if that there isn’t anything you need to install to get it. The next time you are writing a post in your WordPress blog – simply use one of these shortcuts (based on what browser you use);

FireFox Alt+Shift+V

Internet Explorer Alt+V

FireFox Running on OS X Ctrl+V

    Hey! That’s a really useful tip! Happen to know if there’s any way for it to expand by default?

    Thanks!
    Matt

    Hi Matt -

    Glad you liked it! I don’t see a way to toggle it to be on as a default but I’ll try to find out for you. Or if anyone else using WordPress knows – please leave a comment.

    Thanks

    Thanks, this is very useful indeed! I’ve been running WordPress (and loving it) for the past couple of weeks and had no idea about this.

    Now Blog are More Than Just Talk. It is more of information getting. So search engine should give ur blog in the 1st page…but ” target=”_blank”>http://en.wordpress.com/tags/
    is helping a lot than blogspot as blogspot do not have this type of option…and writing in wordpress is better than blogspot……
