Codeally Simplified Editor for TinyMCE

Descripción

Codeally Simplified Editor for TinyMCE refines the WordPress rich-text editor into a cleaner, focused editing environment. By restricting the toolbar to core formatting – bold, italics, strikethrough, lists, links, undo/redo, and clear formatting – it creates an intuitive experience for day-to-day content creators.

This setup removes visual clutter and prevents accidental styling issues while preserving helpful copy-paste markup. Core inline elements (bold text, italics, links, lists, and images) survive pastes intact, while background colors, custom fonts, inline CSS, and heading tags are cleanly stripped.

Key Highlights

  • Focused Writing UI: Provides essential inline styling options without toolbar clutter.
  • Filtered Copy-Paste: Preserves basic markup (<strong>, <em>, <a>, <ul>, <ol>, <li>, <img>).
  • WCAG Heading Protection: Strips pasted <h1><h6> elements to prevent broken heading outlines.
  • Optional Media Support: Accommodates standard <img> tags for compatibility with existing content.
  • Zero Configuration: Works automatically across all TinyMCE instances in the WordPress admin.

Preguntas frecuentes

Who is this plugin for?

It is built for developers, agencies, and site owners who want to provide content creators with a safe, accessible, and user-friendly editing experience across custom rich-text fields.

Why are heading tags (H1-H6) stripped on paste?

To satisfy WCAG 2.1 (Success Criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships), document heading structures must follow a logical, sequential hierarchy (e.g., an H1 page title followed by an H2, then H3). Pasting arbitrary heading tags into custom field regions frequently disrupts the page’s structural outline, creating navigation barriers for screen reader users and assistive technologies.

Should I use WYSIWYG fields for images?

While this plugin supports <img> tags when media buttons are enabled, best practice is to use dedicated Image or Gallery custom fields for media assets. Separating media from rich text gives developers full control over responsive output, srcset attributes, and layout design on the frontend.

How should I configure Pods Framework WYSIWYG fields?

Under WYSIWYG Options, recommended settings include:
* Enable Media Buttons: Unchecked (or checked if image uploads are required)
* Sanitize HTML: Checked
* Enable wpautop: Checked
* Allowed HTML Tags: p, strong, b, em, i, del, strike, s, ul, ol, li, a, img

How should I configure ACF WYSIWYG fields?

Under the Presentation tab:
* Tabs: Visual Only
* Toolbar: Full (automatically streamlined by this plugin)
* Show Media Upload Buttons: Off (or On if image uploads are required)

Does it work with other custom field plugins?

Yes. It hooks into core WordPress TinyMCE initialization filters (tiny_mce_before_init and mce_buttons), ensuring any standard WP WYSIWYG field is automatically streamlined.

What happens if I disable the plugin?

Your saved content remains completely unchanged in the database. Disabling the plugin simply restores default TinyMCE toolbars for future editing sessions.
