Get More From Your WordPress WYSIWYG EditorMay 09 2007 | Blogging |
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.
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.
