The TinyMCE missing from editor

Hello Domi2015,

Can you please check the TinyMCE Advanced plugin setting once may be the case that settings are not enabled.

Thanks

Its a great plugins.

I have multisite installation of 4.5.2, with multiple domains/subdomains.

The TinyMCE works fine on domains/subdomains that belong to super administrator (multisite admin). There are Advanced Options and Administration section. Both network activation or site activation works fine.

However, on domains/subdomain that belong to other site-admin/domain-admin (the multisite-admin is not an admin nor member on those site), the TinyMCE is not appear. There are no Advanced Options and Administration section. Problem persist on network activation and site activation.

Just some notes, when I uninstall the TinyMCE installation, all settings was not removed. Either by super-admin or site-admin.

I think its a multisite site-admin permission issue.

Thank you.

There are no Advanced Options and Administration section.

Right. This is because these sections are for network admins (superadmins) only. It is unwise and/or insecure to give access to all site admins there. Remember that site admins on multisite can be “anybody”, they are not “trusted” users ??

hi,
I’m having a similar issue – the plugin causes the editor to vanish altogether.

The problem is: Since upgrade to WP 4.5.2 and TinyMCE 4.3.10, its gone.
TinyMCE buttons is missing on all of my multi-site wordpress sites page/post editor where the site-admin is not the multi-site-owner / primary domain. Only vanilla / standard button appear on the editor. All changes on the TinyMCE settings wont have any effect on the page/post editor.

Before upgrade the plugins works fine.
Also it still works fine after the upgrade, on primary domain where site-admin is the multi-site-admin.

I was only reporting the behavior that “There are no Advanced Options and Administration section.”, and other information to help identifying the problem.

I already tried to reset the plugin settings, reinstall the plugins, activate per site and network activate.

I read the resolved link that you provided, I think it is different case. This is a simple broken plugin case.

Site-admin change the TinyMCE settings, adds some buttons on line 3:

On Post and Page Editor: the line 3 was not appear.

I’m reporting that TinyMCE is broken after 4.3.10 on WP 4.5.2 multisite, happened in several sites where site-admins are not the network admin. The network admin is not an admin / member of those site. It was working well before.

Turn out you’re right.

I tried the admin_tadv.php file from development trunk and the problem confirmed solved. The TinyMCE now working again on multisite sites without network-admin members.

However on those domain there are no users that can access the advance option, so I’m hoping that multisite site-admin granted the advance option right.

Thank you.

I’m closing this thread.

I’m glad it’s working again.

Yes, that’s why they are “advanced” options, so only superadmins can decide and set them.

It is a wrong policy for Multisite settings.

Superadmin = Network Admin is member of NetworkDomain and not member of Domain1, Domain2, Domain3.
He/She could only Export & Import Settings for NetworkDomain.

Admins of Domain1, Domain2, Domain3 has no access to Advanced Options & Administration. That means, no one on Domain1, Domain2, Domain3 could Export & Import Settings, or other options on Advanced Options & Administration.

Yeah, TinyMCE Advanced still doesn’t have full multisite support. It will help if you can make a list of what should be enabled for site admins, for editors, and for authors, that include some brief explanations why.

Planning to add multisite support at some point and will be good to have some arguments what will be best.

It really makes no sense to me that a user on a site (that happens to be hosted on a multisite installation) with admin privileges (but not super-admin) would be prevented from checking the “Keep paragraph tags” option. This, in fact, is causing me/us real headaches because a plugin that I’ve written relies upon all HTML be well-structured (contained within *some* tags) and the default setting — which admin users cannot change *on their own sites* — is for non-well-structured HTML.

Please allow all users with admin status to set the “Keep paragraph tags” option!
