WordPress 3.9 – Visual Editor changes width

  • Just updated, and I don’t have some of the other issues that people are mentioning here, but I do have a problem with the visual editor. Instead of staying constrained to the size of my site (post width), it now scales with the browser. As I do inline images, often to the right or left with text surrounding, I can’t properly lay out a post at the moment. The page width works correctly in ‘distraction free editing’ mode, but I don’t really like to work in that mode…just want it to stay at the site width in the visual editor.

    Any suggestions?

  • WordPress’ visual editor has a default width & it doesn’t work according to the width of your post in front-end.

    If you want, you can use this to style the editor: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/TinyMCE_Custom_Styles

    What I’m saying is the default width isn’t working either…it simply is scaling to the width of my browser now (so on full screen, the visual editor is showing a page width, including element layout, of around 1600 pixels wide). This worked perfectly in all the 3.8.x versions previously…frankly all the versions prior to 3.9 for the past two and a half years.

    Oh, if you thing it’s a bug, then you should create a ticket at: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/

    Same problem here. I worked around it by creating a theme file named editor-style.css containing the following:

    html .mceContentBody {
	max-width: 750px;
}

    I then added this to my functions.php:

    function my_theme_setup() {
	add_editor_style( array( 'css/editor-style.css' ) );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_theme_setup' )

    This works fine with 3.9 to limit the visual editor width.

    Hi,
    I disabled all my plugins and it didn’t work. Any advice?

    That sounds like an issue with your theme. Can you reproduce the problem using a default theme?
