Add Up to 16 Buttons to Your WordPress Visual Editor

Add Up to 16 Buttons to Your WordPress Visual Editor


The buttons on the WordPress visual editor are convenient, but perhaps you’d like a few more. You can place the following code into your functions file and add up to sixteen extra buttons. (Appearance > Editor > Theme Functions – functions.php)

Of course if you don’t want a particular button, then just delete it from the list.

function extra_editor_buttons($buttons) {
$buttons[] = 'fontselect';
$buttons[] = 'backcolor';
$buttons[] = 'image';
$buttons[] = 'media';
$buttons[] = 'anchor';
$buttons[] = 'sub';
$buttons[] = 'sup';
$buttons[] = 'hr';
$buttons[] = 'wp_page';
$buttons[] = 'cut';
$buttons[] = 'copy';
$buttons[] = 'paste';
$buttons[] = 'newdocument';
$buttons[] = 'code';
$buttons[] = 'cleanup';
$buttons[] = 'styleselect';
 return $buttons;
}
add_filter("mce_buttons_3", "extra_editor_buttons");
