NO ONE can answer this: Preset Text In WordPress Posts

How about trying to download a previous version of wordpress and see if it comes with the file you need, edit-form-advanced.php. Then simply add that file to your others. Have you tried that?

That article gives horrible advice. You should never edit any core WordPress file. That’s about the worst thing you can do. Anytime you read an article that tells you to edit a core WP file, run for the hills.

Working with this part of WordPress isn’t my area of expertise, but this should work:

add_filter( 'the_editor_content', 'my_pre_edit' );

function my_pre_edit( $content ) {
	global $post;

	if ( !$post || $post->ID == 0 )
		$content = "This is some custom content I'm adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.";

	return $content;
}

You can drop it in your theme’s functions.php file.

I say give it a try on a test install to make sure it’s working correctly first. I just wrote this quickly and haven’t really tested it well enough.

Note: If any other devs stop by this thread, feel free to correct me if I’m using the wrong filter.

Thank you guys for the advices, you are simply great

But, as you say, greenshady.. I’ll never edit a core wordpress file, it’s a promise ??

Anf your function worked like a charm!

Thank you so much! ??

And, an even cleaner way of doing it:

add_filter( 'default_content', 'my_editor_content' );

function my_editor_content( $content ) {

	$content = "This is some custom content I'm adding to the post editor because I hate re-typing it.";

	return $content;
}
