Add headings to wysiwyg editor

  • How/where do I add more buttons to the wysiwyg editor?
    I’d like to have a dropdown for H2, H3, etc (but not H1, obviously).

    I’ve been digging google, but all that comes up is things that don’t work, things that are way too old, and things that are massively complicated.

    Please help?

  • have you looked under the ‘format’ button in the second row of buttons, bottom left?

    if you only have one row of buttons, click the top right button (kitchensink)

    Sorry for the late reply… but I still kind of need this. I did find the kitchen sink button, and I did find that it hides a dropdown with all kinds of styles. But I don’t know how to customize it. Basically what I want to constrain the user in what he can do in terms of elements/styling.

    For instance, no <h1> in the content, but I do want to add a button to indicate that a blok of text is javascript, and have some class added to it. Or how about inserting simple tables, or a button to put special classes and elements on a link to make it appear as a fancy button. I could go on.

    So, “customizing the wysiwyg editor” is what I’m looking for… But I don’t know where to start. A little help?

    ALT+Shift+Z will bring the second bar.
    try that when editing a new post.

    Thank you w3expose! I’ve spent two hours trying to work out how to get headings into the wysiwyg, and you’re the only person that said to alt shift z!

    @thanatica2 If you’re still needing this…

    I found this nifty article for removing buttons in the visual editor:

    The other things you mentioned could be done with custom shortcodes:

    There might also be relavent plugins. A plugin to add/manage tables for example:

    First one might prove to be helpful… I can see how adding buttons would work. I’ll look into it. Not really a pressing matter right now, but some time in the future, I’ll be needing this again ??

    Shortcodes are just too user-unfriendly. I happen to know how to work them, but my customers don’t.

    The WP-Tables plugin is a nice idea and a nice plugin, but not quite what I need right now ??

    Thanks

    Ah…adding a button. Then this might be more more helpful:

    Then you could add buttons to automatically add shortcodes for your users.
