How to Disable WordPress2 Rich Text Editor

April 22, 2006 at 10:16 am · Filed under WordPress, Internet & Computers, Webmastering, Rants

RantWordpress 2 by default, comes installed with a rich text editor. I’ve been struggling with some of my blogs as the alignments or formatting that I specify is consistently overwritten by WordPress. I have no idea what or why this happens but it does.

To alleviate my headaches, all I need to do is turn off the rich text editor and write using HTML codes. The steps to do this is pretty straightforward:

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard
2. Click on the “Users” link
3. In “Your Profile“, scroll to the bottom of the page
4. Under the heading “Personal Options“, untick the box next to “Use the visual rich editor when writing”
5. Click “Update Profile“

Done! You can now write your blog posts according to whatever formatting or alignments you desire.

Another thing you could try is to do the formatting with CSS (this is usually the preferred method).

(I am currently struggling with the exact issues you are struggling with)

In your CSS stylesheet you can put something like:

.row { clear: both; }

.col1 {
width: 280px;
float: left;
padding: 0 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
}
.col2 {
width: 280px;
float: right;
padding: 0 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-top: 5px;
border: 1px solid #c0c0c0;
}

and then in your blog you use:

<div class=”col1″>

</div>
<div class=”col2″>

</div>

This is what I was shown two weeks ago:

This is usually preferred over formatting with tables (fewer problems)
