<h4>Overview</h4>
<p>WordPress is awesome, but some of the TinyMCE rich text editing options that come out of the box are not ideal for less web-savvy editors and clients.  This plugin provides some modifications to the standard editor buttons and features that will make it easier for clients to have as all the formatting options that are good for them and remove options that can break a custom site design.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Removes the toggle advanced button.  This is confusing to many users who can’t find the features they are looking for. Just provides 1 row of editor buttons.</li>
<li>Removes features such as strike through, underline (should be reserved for links online, not emphasis), full justification (generally looks bad online, but clients like to use it), and several other less used and confusing features.</li>
<li>Simplifies the dropdown list of heading and block types available.</li>
<li>Adds several formats that can be added to a paragraph
<ul>
<li>Button – add this format to a paragraph to make the links into “call to action” buttons</li>
<li>Small – a format for create a paragraph of smaller text, such as a “terms & conditions” section.</li>
<li>Big – enlarge the text of a certain paragraph.  This helps client not mis-use heading elements for entire paragraphs when they want slightly larger text for emphasis.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Limits color palette in the text colorpicker to grayscale only by default.</li>
<li>Allows for adding up to 4 custom colors that compliment the site’s design and branding that the user may use. (Under Settings > Writing)</li>
<li>Adds the current theme’s style.css to the editor to make what you see in TinyMCE match the live site better</li>
<li>Allows for adding additional css files to the editor styles.  These could be external resources such as google font stylesheets, additional theme css you want to load in the editor, or a custom stylesheet. Just add the URL you want to add in the Additional CSS field under Settings > Writing. For multiple files separate the files by comma with no spaces.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Scope</h4>
<p>As the description states, this plugin makes <strong>opinionated</strong> changes to the default setup. I don’t plan to grow this into a bulkier plugin that allows you to modify and customize all aspects of TinyMCE.  Try <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/" rel="ugc">TinyMCE Advanced</a> or other existing plugins for that purpose.</p>

<h4>Major Update Due Soon!</h4>
<p><strong>This plugin is getting a major update soon.</strong></p>
<p>WP Super Edit is designed to get control of the WordPress wysiwyg visual editor and add some functionality with more buttons and customized TinyMCE plugins. WP Super edit acts as framework for TinyMCE visual editor plugins and buttons allowing administrators (or users) to arrange buttons and add TinyMCE plugins to the visual editor.</p>
<p>Your feedback is always welcome!</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Drag and Drop interface for arranging the WordPress visual editor buttons.</li>
<li>Access to built-in WordPress visual editor buttons and functions.</li>
<li>Additional TinyMCE plugins to add buttons and features like tables, layers (div tag), advanced XHTML properties, advanced image and link properties, WordPress emoticons, style attributes, css classes for themes, search / replace, and more.</li>
<li>Options for allowing users to configure visual editor settings; One editor setting for all users, role based editor settings, and individual user editor settings. <strong>Only WordPress administrators can activate or deactivate TinyMCE wysiwyg visual editor plugins. In single or role based modes, only administrators can arrange editor buttons.</strong></li>
<li>Easy to install and remove. WP Super Edit uses separate database tables for settings and to support multi-site configurations. Currently only the <strong>Super Emoticon / Icon Plugin</strong> will leave short tags in your posts or pages.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Version Notice</strong></p>
<p>This version has been tested for use with the versions of WordPress indicated. I attempt to keep WP Super Edit up to date with changes to WordPress and the visual editor, but the complex changes can make it unproductive to maintain compatiblity with some older versions of WordPress. This is a list of recent versions available for older WordPress sites.</p>
<ul>
<li>Use WP Super Edit 2.1 for WordPress 2.6 to 2.7.1</li>
<li>Use WP Super Edit 2.3.x for WordPress 2.8 to 3.1.x</li>
<li>Use WP Super Edit 2.4.x for WordPress 3.1 to 3.8.x</li>
</ul>
