Well I never knew that!

July 20, 2007 | Published in: Out of the Blue | Tags: 6

Did you know that if your using the wordpress WYSIWYG editor you can enhance its functionality by hitting a few keys?

To enable additional formatting options in your WordPress editor simply hit alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) to toggle extended editor.

You learn something new every day :) Thanks to Solo Technology!

    Thanks for the mention.

    And wait, it gets better! How about a simple little plugin to get to those extra buttons easier?

    I find that the WYSIWYG editor really messes with my code so I don’t use it. Is there a way to fix that? If ever I embed a youtube video it messes it up upon edit.

    I didn’t know that, but then again I pretty much despise the Visual Rich Editor in WP. First thing I do is turn it off then apply my own custom Quicktags.js with custom styles. For me that’s the ultimate solution.

    • Closing the Forums

      Just posting to let current users know that I’m closing the forum on Blue-Anvil. This is mainly due to spam-registrations getting out of hand and being a general nuisance. I will be posting good topics as FAQ items within posts if applicable.

      Please note that you can still post and get help for my plugins/themes by posting on the wordpress.org website.

    • Show off your MiniCard!

      Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!

      If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!

    • Spam Stopper updated for WordPress 3.0

      My Spam Stopper plugin has been updated for WordPress 3.0 (version 3.1.3) – you can grab it here. Sorry this update took longer than my other plugins but this one gets less lovin’ – if you want to change that feel free to donate, spread the word, or rate it on the WordPress.org plugin page.

    • SexyBookmarks & Tr.im

      Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.

      To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.
