Title: Conversion Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Conversion * Resolved [Prime Local](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prime-local/) * (@prime-local) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/) * Hey there, doing some much needed site maintenance and I was trying to update Ultimate Tinymce. The plugin says that Ultimate Tinymce is NOT compatible with the WP 3.9 and beyond. They now recommend using WP Edit. Are there any issues with simply updating or is there a best practice approach you would recommend? Thanks so much!!!! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-edit/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-edit/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [Prime Local](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prime-local/) * (@prime-local) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064458) * Oh and also, if my question is “in the wrong place” please just let me know 🙂 Thanks!! * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064494) * Hello Prime Local, You’re in the right place 🙂 * Honestly… so much has changed… I would suggest just ditching Ultimate Tinymce( use the uninstall feature under the “database” tab; so table entries are deleted also). * Then, install WP Edit… and begin familiarizing yourself with the new interface. Many options have remained.. but the button interface is completely new. * Let me know if you have any issues whatsoever. * Thread Starter [Prime Local](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prime-local/) * (@prime-local) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064502) * Josh- * Thanks for the reply. I have NO issue dumping Ultimate TinyMCE (though it was a good little plugin for sure) my concern is what will happen to the parts of my existing site that are using it? Will WP Edit integrate seamlessly? Thanks! * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064561) * Yes.. it should go seamlessly. * When I coded WP Edit… I took into consideration the naming conventions used by the different features of Ultimate Tinymce. So, since they each share the same naming convention… it should be seamless. * Of course, if you experience any issues whatsoever… just let me know; and we’ll knock them out together 🙂 * Thread Starter [Prime Local](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prime-local/) * (@prime-local) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064636) * Hey Josh- * I never properly said thank you to you for taking the time to respond to my questions 🙂 I really appreciate it!! * Thread Starter [Prime Local](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prime-local/) * (@prime-local) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064637) * I do have a couple additional questions. 1) where is the uninstall feature you suggested to use to remove the plugin? just curious, why not just “uninstall” from the plugin menu? also, if i fully remove that and then install wp-edit will i loose the “data” that is currently controlled by TinyMCE? thanks!! * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064638) * No worries at all… it’s why I’m here 🙂 * The uninstall feature is in the Ultimate Tinymce plugin; on the “Database” tab. You will need to “tick” a checkbox to confirm; then click the button. * > just curious, why not just “uninstall” from the plugin menu? * The reason; is because I elected to NOT have plugin settings deleted when the plugin is deactivated. Since troubleshooting is fairly commonplace; and the first step is typically to deactivate all plugins; I did not want the plugin settings erased in such circumstances. * Instead; by providing a custom uninstall button, the user can deactivate and reactivate the plugin all day long… and the plugin settings will NOT be affected. * However, when using the plugin uninstall button; then all database tables with settings will be cleared. It’s the “cleanest” method of removing the plugin; it deletes any database options used by the plugin. * > also, if i fully remove that and then install wp-edit will i loose the “data” > that is currently controlled by TinyMCE? * 1) You will lose the plugin settings. But, in this case, that is good. So much has changed in WP Edit; you’ll want to begin anew configuring your settings… so you are familiar with what you enable/disable. * I did have an “import” script… but again, so much has changed, it’s just easier to begin using WP Edit and set the options from scratch. * 2) None of the content; or anything added by Ultimate Tinymce (color changes; font changes; custom content; shortcodes; etc.) will NOT be affected. These are saved within the post content… and will not be affected when switching from Ultimate Tinymce to WP Edit. * Again, please let me know how everything goes. * Thread Starter [Prime Local](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prime-local/) * (@prime-local) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064639) * Once WP-Edit is installed does one still need Black Studio TinyMCE Widget? Or is WP-Edit robust enough handle the load? That said perhaps my first question should have been does WP-Edit even interact with Black Studio TinyMCE Widget? Thanks again!!! * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [10 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conversion-1/#post-6064641) * I can’t say for sure. I worked with BSTMCE when I had Ultimate Tinymce.. and I know they were compatible. However, I haven’t talked with them in years. * I would think they would be compatible. Anywhere there is a content editor using the “wp_editor()” function… you’ll get the WP Edit button configuration. If BSTMCE uses that function; they’ll be compatible. * There is also another option, with WP Edit Pro. It has an option available for creating “Snidgets” (my own term), which can be inserted in the content area or widget areas. More [here](http://learn.wpeditpro.com/snidgets/).
