Code Editor instead of TinyMCE

Hi, as we all know TinyMCE is very bad for HTML-based content editing,
and if we could simply use CodeMirror as it natively included in theme-editor.php,
I believe it would be a very big advantage of ClassicPress

once I used WP Editor plugin but it have bugs (i.e. works only for first WP user), but it’s most flaw is cluttering - it loads plenty of resources instead of 2-3 (as theme-editor.php do)

anyone with similar thoughts?

We can’t remove visual editor and text editor for obvious reasons.

But I think we can include a Markdown and CodeMirror mode alongside them.

However, as Tim is on vacation as of now, the discussion about editors is slowed down. I came to the conclusion that each one we evaluated has their pros and cons, what we should not compromise on is flexibility, exactly because we might want to add things like CodeMirror to them.

It’s not about removing visual editor,
but simply disabling it is already natively supported in ClassicPress :slight_smile:

A solid reason to replace WP Editor plugin by something… normal :wink:

I am back from vacation (which was fantastic, by the way!) and I see that TipTap released version 3 just a few days ago: Tiptap 3.0 is stable – Tiptap Release Notes

I think the next step for us is to see whether it does what we are looking for.
