Improving the WYSIWYG in WordPress
The WYSIWYG editor in WordPress has been driving me crazy for a while. So today I broke down and completely replaced it with a plugin called Advanced WYSIWYG Editing. One thing you have to keep in mind if you want to get this plugin to work with WordPress 2.0.4 is that you need to install all the correct TinyMCE plugins from the version of TinyMCE that in included in Wodpress 2.0.4. This is version 2.0RC4 of TinyMCE and you can download this from the repository at Sourceforge. Once you insert these plugins things will work fine.
Another thing that drives me nuts about the WYSIWYG editor in WordPress is that it doesn’t convert < to < I really don’t know what to do about this. I tried to fix it but alas my solution doesn’t seem to work in the long run. It only works if you NEVER edit the post again. Which is not typically the case with me. Has anybody else encountered this and have a work around that doesn’t involved turning off the WYSIWYG?
