Wordpress gurus.... halp!
 

Where do I find the buttons in the new-post admin that allow you to make text bold, linked, listed, align, quotes and so on?

I'm trying to add some things to it so I can inject it into posts as I need them.

I looked in post-new.php but I don't see them.

Thanks. :thumbsup

the easy thing to do is type it in a htlm doc, then copy and past it in.

its much easer than typing it in and it should copy bold and so on.

it's right there above the text box. Try clicking the "Visual" tab instead of the "HTML" tab.

problem fixed?

Hey not to jack your thread here DWB, but I also have a WP question.

I have some WP blogs on an old server that I don't have SSH access to anymore. I do have access to their admin areas and domains though. Is there a way to get them backed up so I can put them on a new host without file level access?

Tools ---> Export

That easy huh... :Oh crap

Just run a backup plugin:- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-backup/

It will only work if you can access the ftp to upload the plugin though ... :Oh crap

It won't back up the post attachments or theme files.

No, I mean IN the code. Not on the page itself when posting. I want to ADD buttons to it, to the actual admin.

Example, you see B there now. But what if I want to make it B and 2 font sizes larger, and red. Want to be able to add that to the admin buttons there. Without actually doing it in html.

It's pretty easy. Just open up quicktags.dev.js (it's in wp-includes/js folder).
You'll see how each button is created and should be able to figure out how to add a custom one. Just save a copy of the original in case you break it :winkwink:

I wouldn't bother editing the Wordpress core files. Makes it a pain when you have to upgrade, as these files get overwritten.

A better method would be to use this:-

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/addquicktag/

Then for the start tag add this:-

And the end tag:-

Then go to your theme folder, open up style.css and add this class selector:-

@Socks
If you want to backup only database then use:
Tools > export
only if you don't want to get in game with .sql files.

But, you have access to admin area, then :
- backup mySQL database
- backup all files
OR
if you are using cPanel, then you can do FULL backup, and it will backup all files and databases. Then, on a new host (if have cPanel) just use restore button.
Also, make sure you change NS, A and other records for a domain :)

@DWB, use any extender plugin or if you are editing core files make sure to backup edited files cause WP update will mostly overwrite it.Also, backup original, if you screw something up, to easily restore it :)
OR do as Eldon Hoke told you, to edit you CSS file.

Old site

Export XML

Download WP-Content folder

New Site

Thats pretty much it.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/

and this one is amazing, but it doesn't work with 3.1 yet (although the plugin page says it does, anyway, just try it)

Thanks all, that is what I was looking for!

V_RocKs, my mom wanted me to tell you, she is pregnant.

Fuck... finally somewhere to send the back child support requests off to...

if you are trying to add new buttons (one of your own) let me know I recently did this in one of my plugins.
