 * Advanced TinyMCE editor does not have many of the buttons it used to have before
   WordPress 5.0. I have the most updated version of the plugin as well. The area
   we are having issues with is a Plugin called Custom Tabs for WooCommerce. The
   old tabs that were previously created have the buttons but new tabs do not. See
   screenshot below with red arrows point to the areas:

 * Hmm, that’s very strange. Can you check which buttons are in the toolbars (at
   the top) on the TinyMCE Advanced’s settings screen? Then try to re-save the options.
 * Not sure if the Custom Tabs for Woo plugin changes the editor buttons, but old
   tabs having them and new tabs not having them is… strange.

 * Thanks for the response. I have reviewed the TinyMCE Advanced Settings screen
   and everything is correct there and I re-saved it but the problem still remains.

 * Had a quick look at the [Custom Product Tabs for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yikes-inc-easy-custom-woocommerce-product-tabs/)
   plugin and it seems to use a “hard-coded” init for TinyMCE in some cases: [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/yikes-inc-easy-custom-woocommerce-product-tabs/trunk/js/repeatable-custom-tabs-shared.js#L49](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/yikes-inc-easy-custom-woocommerce-product-tabs/trunk/js/repeatable-custom-tabs-shared.js#L49).
 * This, of course, will not load the TinyMCE configuration from PHP and will not
   run any of the WordPress filters, so all changes made by other WP plugins are
   ignored.
 * That’s why the extra buttons you pointed out in the screenshot are missing.
 * It also seems to save the existing configuration when you save the tabs, so previous
   TinyMCE init were saved too.
 * This may also be caused by WP 5.0 where outputting the init for the editor was
   changed a bit. I’d suggest contacting the plugin’s authors.
