Edit: Found that the theme options panel set up (using a class) was causing the problem. Still not sure why - would still love know how to find out what the problem is - e.g. is it a JS or PHP issue. Going to try a different method of creating the theme options panel to see if it fixes the problem.

I am able to add extra TinyMCE buttons that are bundled (e.g. HR, anchor), but am unable to add custom plugins of my own. I have also noticed that other plugins (WP-Table Reloaded, cForms, TinyMCE Advanced) are also unable to load custom plugins. Disabling all other plugins does not solve the issue. What could be causing this, and/or how can I find the problem?

When viewing source of an edit post screen, mceInit options do not list any plugins besides those defined as WP default. Altering the $initArray does work, but of course does not point to the correct location of added plugins.

  • I've never experienced this problem, with or without TinyMCE Advanced. Paste your code.

  • What code, exactly? I actually only started attempting to add plugins myself because TinyMCE Advanced was not showing buttons that require a plugin, so I took the functionality of TinyMCE Advanced and put it directly in my theme's functions.php file to learn and see if the problem was the plugin. I then noticed that I wasn't seeing buttons from other plugins, either. WP plugins seem to work just fine (more/next, kitchen sink).

  • I posted a link to the codex article on this topic. That should be able to answer most of your questions.

You should read this: http://codex.wordpress.org/TinyMCE_Custom_Buttons

It's pretty straightforward if you already know how to program a TinyMCE plugin (which it sounds like you do).

  • Well unfortunately this doesn't explain why plugins with TinyMCE integration that work in other installations aren't working, either. Still trying to find how I can troubleshoot what is going wrong.

  • Then you need to post the code you're working with. Asking for help troubleshooting an issue like this with no code doesn't give us anything useful to go off of.

  • Like I stated, I only started attempting to add custom TinyMCE plugins because I noticed that TinyMCE Advanced was not adding certain buttons, so "my" code started as a direct copy of that plugin. It was then that I realized that there were other active plugins that should be adding TinyMCE buttons that were not appearing (also noted above), so it appears to be a problem universal to this WP installation, not specific to my code. I can certainly copy-paste the code if you'd like. I'm trying to figure out what could be going wrong that would cause this kind of behavior.
