TinyMCE button renders TinyMCE unusable

I’ve found out why this problem is happening. There is a conflict between this plugin and the “Better WP Security” plugin, which has an option to rename the “wp-content” directory. When that happens, the VSBW plugin stil looks in “wp-content” so the following javaScript error is generated: “NetworkError: 404 Not Found – https://…../wp-content/plugins/video-sidebar-widgets/vsw_tinymce/editor_plugin.js?ver=358-24486” The VSBW should examine ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’ to get the proper base URL.

Or maybe it’s the “Better WP Security” plugin that should set ‘WP_PLUGINS_URL’ appropriately.

Anyway, adding a ‘WP_PLUGINS_URL’ definition to the wp-config.php file, in addition to the existing ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’ definition, fixes it. Here is an example:

define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://your.domain.name/your-content' );
define( 'WP_PLUGINS_URL', 'https://your.domain.name/your-content/plugins' );

Hi Michelpelletier07,

Thanks for the findings..

In my plugin file vsw_tinymce.php at line 35, I am using WordPress core defined constant WP_PLUGIN_URL to construct the url to editor_plugin.js

$url_to_plugin = WP_PLUGINS_URL."/video-sidebar-widgets/vsw_tinymce/editor_plugin.js";

And in WordPress core file default-constants.php at line 104..shows the constant WP_PLUGIN_URL is actually defined using WP_CONTENT_URL

/**
	 * Allows for the plugins directory to be moved from the default location.
	 *
	 * @since 2.6.0
	 */
	if ( !defined('WP_PLUGIN_URL') )
		define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', WP_CONTENT_URL . '/plugins' ); // full url, no trailing slash

Therefore, the plugin did examine the WP_CONTENT_URL..
I don’t see anything wrong with my code.

Perhaps something is wrong with “Better WP Security” plugin.
It should at least set WP_CONTENT_URL correctly when it does any modifications.

And for the record..
I did a screencast to prove that under normal circumstances..my plugin does not break the editor..

Thanks for your findings and feedback..

There’s only one problem though. Your code checks for ‘WP_PLUGINS_URL’ instead of ‘WP_PLUGIN_URL’. See vsw_tinymce.php at line 32.

Hi Michelpelletier07,

Thank you very much!

Sorry, I did not see my typo error.
I always assume I am using the correct name.

Will correct it now and put up a new version.

Thanks for the finding!

Thanks!

I have updated the plugin.
Please use version 5.6

Thanks!
Denzel

I will. Thank you for resolving the issue so rapidly. Keep up the good work.

Michel.
