Hi again,

I upgraded my PHP to 5.6 and the plugin works fine now.

Thanks for telling me about 5.6. The other day I tried to upgrade a server to the current version. I could never find PHP modules that matched the version. Wasted a whole day on that. So I did not want to try to go to version 7 right now on this server. Yet, 5.6 was an easy upgrade.

I’ll update my original post to be clear there was nothing wrong with the plugin.

Thanks again,
Vincent

I am running 5.4. I’ll check into upgrading it some. It’s odd the way it’s acting. It seems to be running but I just can’t control it because of no settings.

Thanks

Yea I am running less than 7 but if I upgrade i’d have a lot of work to do. So for now I just won’t use the plugin. It runs but just can’t get the settings page. My pages still try to use it. Thanks anyway

at the bottom of my post i updated it two minutes later with this

“Update….. i must not have tested the plugin enough. A look at the plugins code shows it should update all users every time it runs.”

in other words, the callum macdonald plugin does not require any database updates. It does not even require one to turn it on. Activate it and it runs. It is impossible to get any more simple. It was written five years ago and still works perfectly.

It seems you have found a solution to the problem. If I understand the issue correctly you wanted to disable the visual editor.

This plugin https://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/disable-visual-editor/ does that. The only catch I found was it don’t disable the visual editor for current users. For the current users I did a sql UPDATE to set the current users to false

“UPDATE wp_usermeta SET meta_value=’false’ WHERE meta_key=’rich_editing'”

After that the plugin makes it impossible to change the setting in the user profile form. Plus all new users are set to false by the plugin.

Might not be of help to you but maybe it will be of some help to some poor googler (like me) later on haha.

Update….. i must not have tested the plugin enough. A look at the plugins code shows it should update all users every time it runs.

thanks. I tried ^ and $ but did not help. i should have tried that before because thats how your directions read anyway. did not help though.

i looked at the javascript but i am second rate with js at best. nothing jumped out on me.

i will keep it installed and wait for an update.

thanks. this plugin helps me more than any other. my natural english is not that great. i tend to use the same words over and over but i said that already haha.

thanks again
