Ultimate TinyMCE toolbar not showing up

Mahalo (thanks) Josh, that was it, a da… check the obvious!

@ akamaigirl77,

Glad you got it working. With everything becoming so automated for us these days… it’s becoming easier and easier to overlook the obvious!

@ Aedryan,

Well, is there any plugin in particular which is adding enough buttons to the top row, that just by changing it would free up enough space? Or do we need to do two plugins? The fewer plugins we have to “re-code”, the less hassle on your part when updating.

If one plugin will do it, what’s the name of that plugin?

Thanks again for your help here, Josh. >8>) To answer your question… Well… As I had said, I don’t have any of Ultimate TinyMCE’s features activated on row 1. BUT, it seems that pretty much all of row 1 is populated by default. So, there doesn’t appear to be any way to free up so much as 1 slot on row 1, unless i’m missing something…

So… 4 of the short code buttons for my theme + 4 of the short code buttons for my WP Socializer plugin + 1 short code button for the PHP Snippets plugin + 1 button for my Easy Columns plugin are “stuck” on the first line. So, there are 10 buttons (4 from my theme + 6 from 3 different plugins), which extend beyond where row 1 should end…

So, what would you suggest, Josh?

It’s a shame this has to happen. I mean, it’s still usable, but it’s a pain in the a$$. I wish the author would make a new version of the plugin with drag n drop capability…

Well, actually I’m the author of the Ultimate Tinymce plugin ?? But I am working on a drag and drop… which you can see a “preview” of here:

Okay, let’s start with the WP Socializer plugin.

1. Open up the ‘wp-socializer.php’ file in your editor. I user Dreamweaver, but Notepad++ is a nice free one. You need one which has line numbers.
2. Beginning on line 1566, you will see this function:

function wpsr_add_wpsr_button() {

	if (!current_user_can('edit_posts') && ! current_user_can('edit_pages'))
		return;

	if ( get_user_option('rich_editing') == 'true') {
		add_filter("mce_external_plugins", "wpsr_add_wpsrbutton_tinymce");
		add_filter('mce_buttons', 'wpsr_register_wpsrbutton_tinymce');
	}
}

See the line that says mce_buttons? This is the name for row 1. You can change it to any of the following:

mce_buttons_2 (row 2)
mce_buttons_3 (row 3)
mce_buttons_4 (row 4)

Start with that and let me know how you do.
