WP Super Edit 2.2 is now available for WordPress 2.8. I don’t know how I got this working so quickly. I’m always too busy!
WP Super Edit 2.2 has only been tested with WordPress 2.8. There are no new features at this time. I focused on some bug fixes and optimizations. I’ve done a quick cleanup and hopefully I’ve fixed some issues that made things more troublesome for some folks. Thanks vituko!
Since this plugin is dependant on WordPress and the TinyMCE editor, it makes it virtually impossible to maintain backwards compatiblity. I did backport one of the suggested fixes to WP Super Edit 2.1, so if you are still using WordPress 2.7 you might try downloading that version from the Older Versions area at WordPress.org.
I’ve been doing theme work lately, so the contact form for this site is broken. Please leave your comments here for issues or suggestions!
So I didn’t make a post for the updated Yank Widget release. That wasn’t nice or very smart.
Yank Widget 1.2.1 is only a bug fix release for WordPress 2.7.x to remove errors on post and page edit screens. Please report any issues you have here or use the contact us form.
My apologies to the folks using my goofy plugins. I may have moved your comment or reply to the proper article.

This is a minor, yet major update for WP Super Edit. Mostly this version fixes a nasty oversight on my part and updates the plugin for better compatibility with the upcoming release of WordPress 2.7.
I also added Font Tools as WP Super Edit plugin instead of adding the Font Face and Font Size drop down menus to the basic list of TinyMCE options. After you update WP Super Edit, you can use the Rescan tinymce_plugins Folder option and have access to the Font Tools plugin. I have to keep this one separate so I can keep those menus out reach for my users.
I had to change the TinyMCE settings scanning that is done during installation since WordPress 2.7 changes the editor initialization. It really should not matter too much, and it is mostly designed as a method to capture other TinyMCE plugins that might be installed. Someday I would love to make it possible to add options to control the editor options added by other plugins, but that will be really complicated for sure.
Please feel free to leave any issues as a comment here.

I’ve completed an update to my silly Yank Widget WordPress Plugin.
This release includes some minor bug fixes and hopefully some optimizations.
- Yank Widgets should be more optimized. The plugin checks for pages added to Yank Widget areas on each post or page before trying to query the database for pages added to a Yank Widget sidebar area.
- The widget container will not show without page content for all posts and pages unless you set the widget to always show the container in the widget settings.
- Multipage pages using nextpage that are used in Yank Widget areas will now only show a “Read More” link that will direct the visitors to the second page.
As usual, if please leave a comment or send me a note if you find any issues! If you find this strange plugin useful, please consider making a donation or other contribution!

WP Super Edit - Arrange Editor Buttons
WP Super Edit 2.0 has finally been released!
It should probably also be known as the “Gustav ate my wallet” release. If you don’t know, WP Super Edit is a WordPress plugin designed to manage and add features to the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor used by WordPress.
This is a complete rewrite of WP Super Edit for WordPress 2.6 or higher that I have been working on for months! It has been tested using WordPress 2.6 and 2.7 on PHP4 and PHP5 installations. I won’t go into too much detail about this release here. If you what to know more, please visit the WP Super Edit Project where you will find more information and detailed documentation.
New features for this release include:
- Different modes for editor settings; One editor setting for all users, role based editor settings, and individual user editor settings.
- Upgraded plugins for the 3.x version of TinyMCE.
- Complete rewrite of WP Super Edit for stability and usability. All settings are now stored in the database, but most of the features of the original plugin remain.
Please leave comments here about issues or kudos for this version of WP Super Edit. If you want help out in other ways, please consider making a donation or other contribution. I did not suffer major damage from hurricanes Gustav and Ike so far, but evacuation costs and minor damages have put a major delay in my need to replace my aging Powerbook G4.
Most of all, have fun! 
Update! – WP Super Edit 2.0.3 It’s been a really bumpy update! Some silly issues with roles and individual user settings fixed! Updates to fix javascipt errors with superemotions and superclass plugins.
Update! – WP Super Edit 2.0.4 Just trying to catch the changes as they happen for WordPress 2.7. Some proper methods to add the option pages. Killed the nag notice for user editor options and renamed per-user options menu and title to Visual Editor Options.
Update! – WP Super Edit 2.0.5 Another update for WordPress 2.7. I also made some minor changes to make WP Super Edit fail a little nicer if there are problems.
Update! – WP Super Edit 2.0.6 Joy! Removed extra line endings in php files. Possible issue noted by George Coghill.
I’ve decided to release Yank Widget 1.0 for the Weblog Tools Collection Plugin Competition. I wanted to do more for this plugin, but ran out of time.
It works fairly well as a way to add secondary static content to the sidebars for a particular post or page. The user interfaces are not quite what I wanted, but that will have to wait for future development.
You are more than welcome to post your feedback and bugs here, or contact me privately if necessary!
Okay, time to start some collections of notes for WordPress 2.6. Continue reading →
Good news is that I MUST start work again on WP Super Edit for WordPress 2.5. I have clients and users dependent on it like junkies, and I really want to move on to WordPress 2.5.
Bad news is that life has been beating the crap out of us lately: Continue reading →

This will probably be the last version of WP Super Edit for WordPress 2.1 to 2.3 since the upcoming WordPress 2.5 will dramatically change the editor. I’ll be starting to work on WP Super Edit 2.0 soon for WordPress 2.5 ( I’ll be using the WordPress Plugin Directory SVN from now on, so I need to get the Google Code project taken down.)
Here’s a quick list of the changes for WP Super Edit that were based on e-mail bug reports, some notes, and things that bothered me. I won’t bore you with too many details…
