Waah!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful this was! I integrated my board (2.3) with a forum and my sigle-user option was unavilable. In the other hand all my posts had php so there was no way I could edit them! I had to rewrite them over again! …until now!
This works like a charm AND saves a lot of time with the new users with the same problem! It saved my life.

Thanks again.

Thanks just what I’ve been looking for. I’d much rather write up everything in notepad any day or failing that and editor that doesn’t mess about with my formating. I’ve not used Wordpress an awful lot so the information on how to disable the TinyMCE editor manually is also most appreciated.

Thanks again

Gotcha. Now, what about this?

I deleted the tinyMCE directory. When I returned to the weblog and my admin account, I clicked ‘Your Profile’. The visual editor checkbox was gone. Good.

Then I clicked the ‘edit’ button under Authors & Users for myself. The visual checkbox displays at the top. When I click it and try ‘update user’, I get this message:

“You cannot remove the Edit Users capability from yourself.”

When I do this for any other user, it tells me the user was updated, but the visual editor doesn’t activate - understandably ;-).

Anyway I suppose this is harmless anomalous behavior, but I thought I would report it.

The plugin disables the visual editor for all users as soon as any user updates their profile. So if you install the plugin and then update your own profile, the visual editor will be disabled for all users across the whole site.

OK, I slightly misunderstood the expected behavior, my bad.

In 2.3, with the plug-in enabled, the visual editor remains active until the user next updates their profile by turning it off. Then, it remains off whether-or-not the visual editor checkbox is re-checked.

I’m assuming that by removing the appropriate directory (as suggested), the visual editor will never be ‘on’ for any user …

Thanks for the prompt reply!

To the best of my knowledge, the plugin should continue to work with version 2.3.x without any problems. If it’s not working for you, can you supply some more info so I can look into it?

Very cool but will you be updating for 2.3X?
