Use HotBar? If so, please uninstall it …

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

It appears that HotBar, a graphical “skin” for Internet Explorer, causes the text editor in WordPress (officially, the TinyMCE editor) to behave erratically. If you’re not sure if you have HotBar or not, take a look at your browser’s toolbar–if it looks something like this, you’ve got HotBar.

The main problem occurs when a user with HotBar attempts to write or edit a post/page: Simply clicking in this content area will produce extraneous HTML table code. The coding may be removed manually using code view, but the real solution is to uninstall HotBar (which is considered to be Adware). A typical uninstallation of this program will resolve the issue, but please see this Web site for more thorough removal instructions from Symantec.

New video plugins added

Friday, August 17th, 2007

New video plugins will now allow you to post Flash, YouTube, and Google movies in your WordPress MU posts. The KIMILI FLASH EMBED and WORDPRESS VIDEO plugins must be enabled in your dashboard in order for you to use them. To do this, click the “Plugins” link at the top and activate the desired plugins.

  • To use the Kimili plugin, simply cut and past the code provided on the plugin page and supply the path to your .swf file. You have to upload your file first and send it to the editor to retrieve the link.
  • To use the WordPress Video plugin, use the following code in your post: [service ID]. For example, [youtube 988c98c7] or [google 3203596276754701357]. The video ids can be found after the last “=” sign in the URLs of the video you want (and with YouTube videos, be sure to include the underscore prior to the ID).
