FCKeditor – A Feature Packed WYSIWYG WordPress Plugin

Posted on by

 

Having tested a handful of WYSIWYG plugins for WordPress, the best one I’ve come across so far is FCKeditor. FCKeditor replaces WordPress’ current editor with one that has a lot of additional features. To make it even better, it even writes pretty clean code.

Additional features, besides those found in WordPress, include:

  • Font face, sizes and colors.
  • Its own built in image uploader along side of WordPress’.
  • Flash capabilities.
  • Post Templates.
  • Paste from Word & Paste plain text buttons.
  • Find and Replace
  • Forms
  • Subscript and Superscript text.
  • Link Anchors
  • Custom Smilies
  • Special Characters
  • Page Break
  • Custom Styles
  • Tables
  • & More

Another great feature is the full screen editor. Hit the button and your whole browser window turns into the editor for maximum screen writing space.

  1. FCK is great, and has an edge over TinyMCE. I love the block view, and the full-screen option makes it feel like I’m in a word processor.

    But sometimes I just want to post something quickly without six toolbars of options taking up all that space. For those moments in which my screen real estate is limited or I just want minimal hassle and distraction, how do I get the default WordPress editor back? Or at least remove the FCK options I don’t use… (Who adds forms and checkboxes to blog posts, anyway?)
