Title: Update sequence ?

Update WordPress to 3.9. 2. Deactivate Ultimate Tinymce, and delete the files. 3. Install and activate WP Edit. 4. Go to the WP Edit admin settings page, and click the “Database” tab. 5. Click the button to “Convert Ultimate Tinymce” options. * You should now be good to go using updated versions of everything 🙂 * Please let me know if you have any questions or issues during the process. * Thread Starter [sadhaka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadhaka/) * (@sadhaka) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822951) * Thanks – except, you can’t “delete the files” until you actually delete the old plugin (i.e., not just deactivate it). So shouldn’t it be: * 1. Update WordPress to 3.9. 2. Deactivate Ultimate TinyMCE. 3. Install and activate WP Edit. 4. Import the old Ultimate TinyMCE database settings in WP Edit. 5. Delete the old database settings in WP Edit. 6. Delete the old Ultimate TinyMCE plugin. * At least that’s what I’ve done. Hope I’m right! * I notice that my “Easy Recipe Plus” plugin’s buttons appear as the second row of the WYSIWYG buttons. Is that how things should be? * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822959) * Yes.. thank you, that’s exactly correct. * Regarding the other plugin buttons… I don’t have any control over where those are placed. You would need to contact them, and ask why they add them to the second row 😉 * The buttons I control are only the ones included with WP by default.. and the ones I have manually added myself. * Other buttons will not appear in the interface. They will display exactly how the original authors intended in the editor. * Thread Starter [sadhaka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadhaka/) * (@sadhaka) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822960) * Thanks very much for the help. All seem to be working well now 🙂 * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822962) * Awesome. Thank YOU! * [islandmaan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/islandmaan/) * (@islandmaan) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822989) * This has really thrown me for a loop an I now have to have my IT guy reinstall an older version of my site so i do not have the WordPress 3.9 version all because my editor is trashed. * I did install the new WP edit plug in and deactivated the Ultimate and have barely two rows of buttons and missing most of my buttons like the Advanced Link button.. Looks like most of the TinyMCE buttons are all gone. Can you please answer me this, if i want my service to work as before using the new plug in do i need the tiny mce and the ultimate tiny mce plug ins. * Prior to this i had both of the TinyMCE and the Ultimate TinyMCE plugins activated on my site and it worked perfectly with all the buttons. Can i get most of those buttons back with the new WP Edit plug in and if so how do i do so, the advanced Link Button does not show as an option on your website nor when i installed the WP Edit. * I do see the Tiny MCE options is available on the Pro side, is this a simple issue of upgrading to Pro and I will get the features back like the Advance Link button? If it is as simple as that please let me know, i find this very confusing and very little documentation on what the WP edit provides. * Thanks for your assistance. * Brian * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822990) * Hi Brian, * I do apologize for all the frustration you must be feeling; as well as the time spent which could have been better used elsewhere.. I’m sure. * Please understand you are not alone.. and this update has been strenuous on many.. both developers and end users. * > Can you please answer me this, if i want my service to work as before using > the new plug in do i need the tiny mce and the ultimate tiny mce plug ins. * No. The new service is simply not going to work exactly as it did before. Way too much has changed with the update of WP to 3.9, and the update of tinymce to version 4. * You can see the updated tinymce version on the [TinyMCE](http://www.tinymce.com/) website.. and compare how it looks to the default WP editor. * Many of the buttons used in my Ultimate Tinymce plugin were developed by 3rd party, open source, developers. I found them out there in google-land.. modified them to work with WP.. and added them to Ultimate Tinymce. * Now, those buttons everyone has become so dependent on… are not compatible with the new version of Tinymce (4). NONE of the 3rd party developers of those buttons have created updates. I can’t add the tinymce version 3 buttons into the tinymce version 4 framework… it simply won’t work. * So, the only solution is to manually update every single one of those addons. Well, I can only do so much. I’ve already tackled the VERY laborious task.. and the ones I’ve completed (youtube, advanced html editor, lorem ipsum, and a few others) are only available in the pro version of WP Edit. All of the old buttons are not there yet… but I’m working on it every day. * I hope this helps you understand a little better. I apologize for my lack of documentation at this point. I’ve spent the past six months writing code preparing for this update.. and never got a chance to write much documentation. It will come very soon. * Thread Starter [sadhaka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadhaka/) * (@sadhaka) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822992) * Hmm.. when I said “all seems to be working well” I meant there seemed to be no train wrecks, but I don’t see any added extra that WP Edit offers over the WP default. What the WP Edit “settings” screen looks like is not replicated in the editor. * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822993) * > What the WP Edit “settings” screen looks like is not replicated in the editor. * What do you mean? How many editor rows do you see? I need specifics… I can’t“ guess” without knowing what’s happening. * It’s possible you may have to click the “toggle toolbars” button to see the additional rows. * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822994) * And please… we need to move this discussion to [WP Edit Forum](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-edit). * You can create a new topic there.. and reference this one via a link. * But since we are discussing WP Edit, this is not the proper forum. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [sadhaka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sadhaka/) * (@sadhaka) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822995) * I mean the WP Edit “settings” screen is not what I see in the actual WP editor. Furthermore, things that ARE available in the actual WP editor (simple things like “underline”) are, oddly, greyed out in the WP Edit “settings” screen as “ Pro only” (i.e., send money). Underline as “Pro only”? It also messes with Easy Recipe. It’s so different from the old plugin that I can’t see a benefit, so I’m deleting it. Maybe I’ll revisit it again. * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-sequence/#post-4822996) * I apologize.. but I don’t think you are understanding what I am saying. * 1. The greyed out buttons in row 2 simply mean they can’t be dragged. They will still appear in the editor EXACTLY as they appear in the greyed out area. * Again… Do you have all your button rows? Or do you just have one row? * If you only have one row of buttons in your actual editor… then you need to click the TOGGLE TOOLBARS button. This is a button added by WP, which expands/collapses the additional rows of the editor. * The toogle toolbars button is set in it’s collapse mode by default. You have to click it to show the additional rows. * PLEASE READ THIS 1. Go to your content editor.. and hover over each button with your mouse.. starting from the right. 2. When you see the “Toogle Toolbars” tooltip.. click that button. * Now, do you see the additional editor rows?
