<p>The Save Me plugin saves JavaScript and other inline code from distortion by the WordPress rich text editor. Add code in the editor’s VISUAL mode, bracketing it with the shortcode <code>[saveme][/saveme]</code>.</p>
<p>While it is possible without a plugin to switch to HTML editing mode and paste JavaScript into a post, often the code will be scrambled if you toggle back and forth between the HTML and Visual modes. For example, the TinyMCE editor sometimes eliminates what it doesn’t understand — like empty divs into which your JavaScript or AJAX widget needs to inject content. And since JavaScript code is not displayed with any representation in the visual editor, it’s easy to accidentally delete.</p>
<p>In rich tech mode, the editor will treat your code as if it were a code sample you were writing about, rather than a script to be executed. You may see distortions, like quotation marks being turned into curly quotes, but at least you can keep track of where you inserted the code. The saveme shortcode function reverses HTML entity transformations and turns your JavaScript widget back into executable code.</p>
<p>The saveme shortcode has been tested with Facebook social widgets and Google Adsense JavaScript blocks. If you encounter JavaScript that does not work after being passed through this function, contact me through <a href="http://www.carrcommunications.com/" rel="nofollow ugc"><strong>Carr Communications Inc.</strong></a> and I will try to determine why not.</p>
<p>This is a spinoff of a similar function in <a href="http://www.carrcommunications.com/wordpress-plugins/facebook-tab-manager/" rel="nofollow ugc"><strong>Facebook Tab Manager for WordPress</strong></a></p>

<p>This is a simple plugin that enables rich text editing on the excerpt field.</p>
<p>If you have any plugins installed which alter TinyMCE, e.g. to add additional<br />
buttons, they will also be applied to the excerpt editor.</p>
<p>Any issues: <a href="http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/contact-me/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact me</a>.</p>
<h3>Known issues / bugs</h3>
<p>Please <a href="http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/contact-me/" rel="nofollow ugc">report any issues</a> that you find.</p>
<ul>
<li>In WordPress versions prior to WordPress 2.5, when you click the “advanced toolbar” button, the advanced toolbar shows up on the<br />
Content, rather than the excerpt. Reported by <a href="http://hypenotic.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jorge Villalobos</a></li>
<li>You can’t send images to the excerpt editor from the edit page file browser;<br />
you have to send them to the main editor, then copy and paste.</li>
<li>To show the excerpt you have to use a template which uses<br />
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt" rel="nofollow ugc">the_excerpt</a>, rather<br />
than <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content" rel="nofollow ugc">the_content</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requests</h3>
<p>I’m simply noting requests here, I’ve not necessarily looked into how possible any of these are or how much effort they might require.</p>
<ul>
<li>It would be great if you could switch between TinyMCE and Quicktags as the content does. Requested by <a href="http://hypenotic.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jorge Villalobos</a></li>
</ul>
