Title: Needs Upated Last modified: September 2, 2016 --- # Needs Upated * [Bryan Willis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codecandid/) * (@codecandid) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/needs-upated/) * This plugin no longer works with 3.9+ & new tinymce. This used to be the best“ editor” widget not to mention it has a very small footprint compared to others. For people looking for a working plugin like this, use wp editor widget (which also works on customizer widgets) until we get this updated.

Why didn’t you try to contact the plugin’s author about this by posting a topic in the plugin’s dedicated sub-forum? * Try reviewing: [http://pippinsplugins.com/how-to-leave-a-good-bad-review/](http://pippinsplugins.com/how-to-leave-a-good-bad-review/) [http://chrislema.com/theres-wrong-way-give-plugin-feedback-wordpress-org/](http://chrislema.com/theres-wrong-way-give-plugin-feedback-wordpress-org/) * Thread Starter [Bryan Willis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codecandid/) * (@codecandid) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/needs-upated/#post-7853902) * Esmi, as per pippins plugins “things to keep in mind when writing a review [http://pippinsplugins.com/how-to-leave-a-good-bad-review/](http://pippinsplugins.com/how-to-leave-a-good-bad-review/) * 1) Was my review rude? … No. The fact alone that I had left five stars should suggest that let alone reading my review. * 2) Was my issue explained?… Well yes, the plugin doesn’t work anymore… Should I have stated in my review that the plugin doesn’t work because ‘the_editor’ is a deprecated function or that its spitting console errors like : “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘canvas’ of undefined”. NO, that is what the dedicated subforum is where two posts stating issues with the plugin happened two weeks before I posted my “review. People reading reviews what simple, quick reviews, stating the pros and cons to help them decide on whether or not they should download it… Does my review do that? I believe so. * 3) Had there been a reasonable attempt to contact the author? Yes the issues had already been acknowledged. * 4) Lastly, does the poster respond to their reviews/comments? Yes and I also post issues all the time in Support section, however seeing that the author did not respond to the issue after two weeks, I thought it would be nice to let others know that while this plugin is great, don’t download until it is updated. Personally, that’s something I would want to know when downloading a plugin, although maybe thats just me. I leave Support posts all the time and usually try my best to find fixes for the issues I come across: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-2?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-2?replies=1). * While I don’t claim this was the Mozart of reviews, I do think it suffices as a helpful review. I left a 5 star, a positive comment and my evaluation to the author and I let the public know not to install it until issues were fixed. I’m guessing you use wordpress frequently, so you would have known that there have been many issues and transitions that authors had to fix/update to get there plugins working with Tinymce 4. * As per your exact questions, I will try to be more precise…. * I ran several debugging tests after this plugin stopped working with new wordpress releases including tinymce4. My debugging experience indicated to me, that this plugin was no longer compatible for it included several tinymce4 and wordpress deprecated functions. While this plugin is one of my favorite to those wondering, it currently does not work. I know this because I tried two fresh installs to test it. It will continue to work on versions using tinymce3, but needs to be patched/upgraded for newer releases. I hope everyone can be patient, the developer has been informed of the issue. * Plugin Author [somewebmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somewebmedia/) * (@somewebmedia) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/needs-upated/#post-7853912) * Hi codecandid, * I just saw this review (I didn’t know review section even exists). * Thanks for the five star, I appreciate it very much. Just in case you’ve misted it, the plugin has been fixed (about a month after your first comment). * Once again, thanks for the positive review. * Some Web Guy Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘Needs Upated’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/hc-text-widget_c3b9ca.svg) * [HC Text Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hc-text-widget/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hc-text-widget/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hc-text-widget/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hc-text-widget/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hc-text-widget/reviews/) * 3 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [somewebmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somewebmedia/) * Last activity: [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/needs-upated/#post-7853912)
