  • Man, that is disturbing.

    I am looking for a plugin to add a basic functionality of any CMS that is inexplicably missing from basic WordPress.

    I was considering this one, but now know to steer clear. No response from the “developer” to an obvious emergency caused by what appears to be irresponsible coding is quite the red flag.

    I hope you get your site fixed, good luck.

    Ah, I was doing some additional research for what I need and it appears I’ve found exactly what I am looking for after all.

    Questionable name aside, FCKEditor seems to be the solution.

    Thanks again!

    Thanks for the response.

    I should restate what I need, as the software pointed me is not in the same category of what I am looking for.

    I am looking for a WYSIYG editor, which allows an editor to make changes to a page or post.

    I had tinymce installed since I wrote the first post to see if it would work for us, but, again, it’s not even remotely close to what I envision. It just seemed to add a lot of buttons and make the editing area smaller!

    On the contrary, I am trying to make the editing area bigger, so an editor can see the entire page that needs to be edited. I want the editor to be able to move elements about (text, images, imbedded video, tables, etc.) in the editing area by the tried-and-true drag-and-drop method. Something like a standalone visual HTML editor, similar to DreamWeaver or HomeSite or anything like that.

    And I am willing to pay for such a plugin.

    Does that make sense? Does such an item even exist?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Thanks for the answer. It’s the promise of “and more!” that always frightens us editor-types. Less is more for us: a less cluttered, confusing interface that doesn’t have to do 1,000 things we will never need anyway, for example.

    OK, I have another question. We need to include in our website a searchable database of experts, very much like the one you can see on this site: http://lgi.osi.hu/experts.php

    Is it possible with WordPress? Or is the choice of CMS irrelevant to this functionality? I can almost hear the eyes a-rollin’ as any real developer reads this silly question, but we cannot hire a developer until we know what CMS to go with, so I am the best my organization has at this moment. So please forbear my ignorance.

    Thanks for any help!
