Get More From Your WordPress WYSIWYG EditorIf 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.
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);
Alt+Shift+V
Alt+V
Ctrl+V
Hey! That’s a really useful tip! Happen to know if there’s any way for it to expand by default?
Thanks!

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.
Glad to hear it’s helpful to you Paul!
