# Visual verses Text issue

 * When I open a Page or Post for editing, the VISUAL editor is the main editing
   window I see. If I switch to TEXT (make corrections and save) and then open another
   Page or Post it defaults back to the VISUAL editor.
 * Without Adminimize, which ever editor is chosen it remains until I change it.
 * Is there any way to change this, so I get to choose which is the default.
 * I have not set up Adminimize for any users including the Administrator, by deactivating
   any options and could not see if there is an appropriate box to tick.
 * Many thanks
    Peter

 * The default editor is a settings inside the meta data of each user. You can only
   hide a editor with Adminimize, that also set a default. But if you need a default
   editor for a user group is a custom plugin much easier.
 * The plugin need only a rule for a filer `wp_default_editor`. This set the default
   of the user.
    Like for the visual mode:
 * `add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";') );`
 * and for the text mode:
 * `add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "html";') );`
 * Adminimize use also this option, but only if you hide an editor mode.
