    I’m using Independent Publisher as my theme, and whilst the styles created and applied with this plugin appear in the editor they don’t appear once previewed or published.

    I’ve asked on the theme support page for advice, but would also like to know if there’s a list of themes that are known to work well with this plugin.

    Hi,

    This plugin works with any theme actually. It doesn’t have any special dependencies. The main goal of this plugin – is to extend the WordPress editor with new formats, which you can set without switching to the HTML tab.

    It’s useful for theme developers. For example you have page design with special style for the link in the text. You need css class for this inside your theme. But once you wrote new styles inside the theme – you should now manually set this class from backend editor manually. Other way is to use this plugin – you wrote your own class and how it should be highlighted inside editor.

    This plugin does not modify any frontend css styles. It should be used when you have a theme already (with some custom classes or structure and you want to automatically create inside editor).

    However this plugin has a preset for Bootstrap, so this preset will work with any Bootstrap-driven theme.

    So I would add the styles I need to the additional CSS section of my customisation section, then set them up in this too so that I can access them in the wysiwyg editor rather than having to hit up the text editor?

    Is there a plugin that does both, or can I take the CSS generated by Just TinyMCE custom styles (where is it stored and plug it into my theme?)

    Sorry for the newbie questions.

    We usually use simplified styles inside WP editor just to highlight another style of element.

    For example: On frontend we have a nice looking button with animated effects, shadows etc. But in editor we just make button to have same border color, and add styles to position it on it’s own row. In this way it’s clear that this is a button and hard animations don’t bother site administrator when writing content.

    Right now there are no option in the plugin to get all generated css (because of the reason above – we don’t use it anywhere else).

    You can copy your own styles inside theme style.css file at the bottom (just copy styles from each row of tinymce styles settings)

    Hello,
    just a little question on this topic:
    Does your plugin bring the bootstrap stylesheets or must my theme provide these?
    Because currently i’m testing this preset and it adds classes/styles and so on but in the front end they are not styled there is no link to a style-sheet that handles these styles.

    Hi Fantasmo,

    No this plugin do not bring any styles to the theme. If you use bootstrap preset -then your theme should be bootstrap compatible and it should be based on bootstrap.

    Adding custom styles from editor to the frontend is dangerous, because it can break some theme styles or they can be over-written by theme styles. So there are no good way to add editor styles to frontend.
