 * I updated to 3.3 now this no longer works. I can resize the window and whatever
   but there is no tool bar anymore. It was working before I updated.
 *     ```
       wp_tiny_mce( false ,
       	    array(
       	        "editor_selector" => "content"
       	    )
       	);
       ```

 * Hopefully this can get you started, the tiny MCE API has totally changed

    Thanks! I am using wp_editor
   instead and it works great. I appreciate the link. Lots of good info there.
 * While we are on the topic, is there an easy way to stop the editor from stripping
   the paragraph tags?

 * Yeah, I tried that. Didnt work. I’ll look at the arguments
 * <?=wp_editor( @$_POST[‘content’], “content”, array(“wpautop”=> false))?> (also
   tried putting “false” in quotes.)

 * Yeah, I haven’t played around at all with the API yet, just knew of the changes.
   I can’t do much more than guess at this point

 * Never mind… I just did a /facepalm.
    Just realized I was in HTML mode when adding
   text… so “wpautop”=> false works like a charm.
 * I appreciate the assist.

 * Any idea how can I select different buttons with wp_editor()?
    I need only to
   have these buttons: bold,italic,underline,bullist,numlist,undo,redo
 * I was able to do with the following code… Not anymore!
 * if (function_exists(‘wp_tiny_mce’)) {
 *  add_filter(‘teeny_mce_before_init’, create_function(‘$a’, ‘
    $a[“theme”] = “
   advanced”; $a[“skin”] = “wp_theme”; $a[“height”] = “200”; $a[“width”] = “800”;
   $a[“onpageload”] = “”; $a[“mode”] = “exact”; $a[“elements”] = “mytextarea,mytextarea2”;
   $a[“editor_selector”] = “mceEditor”; $a[“plugins”] = “safari,inlinepopups,spellchecker”;
   $a[“theme_advanced_buttons1”] = “bold,italic,underline,separator,bullist,numlist,
   separator,undo,redo”;
 *  $a[“forced_root_block”] = false;
    $a[“force_br_newlines”] = true; $a[“force_p_newlines”]
   = false; $a[“convert_newlines_to_brs”] = true;
 *  return $a;’));
 *  wp_tiny_mce(true);
    }

 * jbmw look at the “tinymce” setting [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor)
 * Looks like you can pass setting directly to tinymce.
 * So it would be something like
 *     ```
       <?php
       $tinymcesetting = array("theme_advanced_buttons1" => "bold,italic,underline,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,undo,redo");
   
       wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, array("tinymce" => $tinymcesettings));
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Actually… scratch all that just do this with the code you already have;
 * wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, array(“tinymce” => $a));
