Looks like TinyMCE is not initializing at all. Do you see any JS errors in the browser console?

Having some problems recreating this here. Seems that may be caused by some CSS. Do you see the same behavior/errors in the (standard) Classic Block?

If I understand correctly you’re using HTML or XML that was written elsewhere. This would work correctly if pasted in a “Custom HTML” block in the block editor. Also perhaps if pasted in the old Text editor tab of the classic editor.

However don’t think it is possible to edit such HTML/XML with TinyMCE. It uses contenteditable, meaning that it will always recreate the tags the way the browser interprets them.

Just FYI: this was fixed in core in WP 6.6.1.

Yes, it turns into a save button..

Right. Frankly this problem is not caused by the Classic Editor plugin. It only enables the old Edit Post screen, doesn’t modify anything on it.

My guess is that another plugin was either installed or updated recently and has started to interfere with that button. Can you think what may have changed shortly before the time you noticed the button is missing? Then maybe try disabling the plugin that was installed or updated and refresh the screes few times (hold Shift and reload the page) to see if anything changes.

There is an alternative way to try to debug this by looking at the browser console, finding the CSS that’s hiding the button (assuming it is hidden with CSS) and figuring out where it comes from. That’s quite more complicated though.

This doesn’t seem to be related to the Classic Editor plugin directly, rather it may be a bug on the old Edit Post screen. Tried to reproduce it there but it seems the Categories box is working as expected. Tested in both WP 6.6.1 (current release) and 6.7-alpha.

If this is still happening could you try disabling (recently installed) plugins one by one and refreshing the screen to see if it helps?

Administrators can change all other users’ settings from the Users screen (click on a user name or the “Edit” link below it). Now editor preferences can be changed from there too.

it disables the save button

I’m sorry but which save button do you mean? The Save Draft/Post button in the Publish box on the old edit post screen as shown in this screenshot, or a different one?

or everyone would be having the problem

Right, seems it may be something specific, haven’t heard of similar problems lately.

I found the classic-editor.php file missing

This sounds troublesome. I can confirm that there have been no updates/changes to the plugin for quite some time. It works as expected in newer WP versions so only the readme.txt was updated to indicate that.

Frankly I’m unsure about what may be deleting a specific plugin file but not the whole plugin directory. It is possible that this is caused by another plugin. @spaceling @exmosis @stevenjc could you post a list of your active plugins here if possible so we can look at what the plugins that all of you are using are doing? Also, if you’re maintaining several sites, perhaps look at the common plugins. Would be great if we can figure this out ??

@toprobroy This was fixed in Advanced Editor Tools 5.9.0, about four months ago.

Imho best would be to use the classic_editor_enabled_editors_for_post filter and modify that setting depending on the user or role.

That filter returns an array like:

array(
    'classic_editor' => true,
    'block_editor'   => true,
);

Changing these to true|false will enable or disable the corresponding editor.

Hi, you can try adding a suitable font size for the editor iframe by using the Advanced TinyMCE Configuration plugin. please follow the instructions in that plugin on how to add a new setting.

Description of the content_style setting is here: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-4x/configure/content-appearance/#content_style. The CSS you will likely need would be:

body { font-size: 1.2rem; }

I want to switch between Advanced Editor Tools and block editor, how can we do that

By using the Classic Editor plugin.

Hmmm, if you’re using a white font, what is the background for it on the front-end? Generally if there is a background color on the front-end, and it is added by the theme, it should be in the editor too (assuming you’re using the classic (TinyMCE) editor).

If not, you can try adding a suitable background color to the editor iframe by using the Advanced TinyMCE Configuration plugin. Description of the setting is here: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-4x/configure/content-appearance/#content_style.

The font list is a setting in the TinyMCE options. For now can try using the Advanced TinyMCE Configuration plugin and set it manually. Please follow the instructions on how to add the setting. The font_formats setting also has a specific format. It is described here: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs-4x/configure/content-formatting/#font_formats.

When the Fonts API is added to core and if there is a good way to determine what fonts have been added, I can try doing this automatically.
