Last few really big posts on my Personal Development blog were an absolute struggle to publish. The built-in WYSIWYG editor WordPress 2.0+ is a nightmare to work with. While it handles simple texts more or less correctly, it’s helpless when it comes to anything as complex as a post with some numbered lists or lots of paragraphs with different font styles.
I must have edited and reviewed one of my posts at least 50 times before I gave up. I’ve started looking for an alternative plugin to replace this editor, and voila – I’ve found the WYSI-Wordpress!
WYSI-Wordpress is an incredibly useful plugin whch works correctly in both IE and Mozilla-based browsers. There are versions for both WP 1.5 and WP 2.0+ branches, and – most importantly of all! – this plugin actually IS WYSIWYG. So practically everything you see in your edit window is going to look the same in the preview area. I’m telling you, it’s been quite a relief for me to finally finish the formatting and enjoy seeing the entry text exactly the way I pictured it in my mind!
So if you’re sick of the built-in editor, disable it right away and try out the WYSI-Wordpress! You will never regret!
