OK so that’s good Gutenberg offers similar templates management system to the current system. So provide it as a plugin and let people who want to try it out use it. Don’t force us to rewrite all our themes and page templates to use this new editor before we can upgrade WordPress. We try to keep our WordPress up to date for security reasons, but that’s hard to do if you’re going to introduce breaking changes to something as fundamental as the editor.

After looking at this in Chrome with the developer toolbar I found this is because we have created button groups in the TinyMCE editor for customising it.

The standard Gutenberg toolbar allows buttons to wrap because it has this CSS:

.mce-toolbar .mce-btn-group>div { white-space: normal; }

But in our case we have created many small .mce-btn-group div’s each of which gets its CSS from the parent element which has this CSS:

.mce-tinymce-inline .mce-flow-layout { white-space: no-wrap; }

That no-wrap attribute means that the button groups don’t wrap within the toolbar.

Is this something to do with the way that WordPress itself delivers updates? Looking at the code for wp_version_check it looks like the server sends details about the blog like how many users it has, what PHP version it is, what MySQL it is… I wonder if the higher traffic sites (or those with more users) are given updates earlier, and the lower traffic sites are left until later?

Thanks for looking into this. I’m not in a hurry myself to fix this, so mvandemar if and when you can fix this issue, please update the plugin release code and I’ll give it another go.

I only needed a way to log the authentication operations in WordPress. So for the moment I have written my own (very small and simple) plugin to do just that job. But it would be good to use this Lockdown plugin to protect the login screen as well.

I’m using MySQL 5.5 in Windows. Looking at the plugin it looks like it’s meant to create a new table in the WordPress database for login_fails. But after activating the plugin it looks like there’s no new table created in the database.
