    Cracked : removing the text button on the editor so an EDITOR role user only access the html pane

    As i said in the todo list, did a bit of searching and found the following code which works !!

    Add this to your themes function.php file (should reside or needs creating in the root of your themes directory)


    <?php
    add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";') );
    add_action( 'admin_head', 'disable_html_editor' );
    function disable_html_editor() {
    global $current_user;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ($current_user->user_level != 10) {
    echo '<style type="text/css">#content-html, #quicktags {display: none;}</style>';
    }
    }

    My work here is done !!

    Hi Jack and all.

    Finally had another play with the noneditable under the standard wordpress editor. Its not the best solution but it is a working. Not the best solution since I am not sure if a wordpress update may change one of the files so you might have to reapply the fix.

    You may be able load the functions and put them in your themes functions.php – I will try and explore later

    1) Downloaded tinymce
    2) Expand / Search for the tinymce\js\tinymce\plugins directory
    you will see the noneditable
    3) copy this directory and paste it to wp-includes\js\tinymce\plugins
    4) then go to and load the wp-includes\class-wp-editor.php in your text editor and find the code / block

    /**
    * Filter the list of TinyMCE external plugins.
    *
    * The filter takes an associative array of external plugins for
    * TinyMCE in the form 'plugin_name' => 'url'.
    *
    * The url should be absolute, and should include the js filename
    * to be loaded. For example:
    * 'myplugin' => 'http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/myfolder/mce_plugin.js'.
    *
    * If the external plugin adds a button, it should be added with
    * one of the 'mce_buttons' filters.
    *
    * @since 2.5.0
    *
    * @param array $external_plugins An array of external TinyMCE plugins.
    */
    $mce_external_plugins = apply_filters( 'mce_external_plugins', array() );

    $plugins = array(
    'charmap',
    'colorpicker',
    'hr',
    'lists',
    'media',
    'paste',
    'tabfocus',
    'textcolor',
    'fullscreen',
    'wordpress',
    'wpautoresize',
    'wpeditimage',
    'wpemoji',
    'wpgallery',
    'wplink',
    'wpdialogs',
    'wptextpattern',
    'wpview',
    'wpembed',

    );
    4) Add the line underneath ‘wpembed’
    5) 'noneditable',
    6) Save the code
    7) You can now use the editor in text mode and use <div="noneditable">Protected Area</div> and then when you swap to HTML mode it will now see the code but will be non editable

    To take this a stage further you can make it so the noneditable code is not shown

    I altered \wp-includes\js\tinymce\skins\lightgray\content.min.css and unminified it and added this around line 68

    body#tinymce.mcenoneditable {display:none}

    {if you dont want to unminify the file – search the file and paste after .mce-pagebreak {cursor: default;display: block;border: 0;width: 100%;height: 5px;border: 1px dashed #666;margin-top: 15px;page-break-before: always}

    Finally by adding an extra bit of code in a functions file, every time you go in to the editor, it will start on the html tab so is a bit safer for a normal editor user

    Create a file /wp-content/themes/yourthemenamehere/includes/theme-functions.php and just add this line of code

    <?php
    add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function('', 'return "tinymce";'));

    The ultimate on the todo list would be able to assign an editor users which then has the text tab hidden thus reducing risk of a non tech user altering bits but unsure if that would happen, maybe a feature for tinymce to add or wordpress i not really sure.

    So i hope this helps anyone out .. as it has taken a lot of blood sweat and tears and many hours of determination !!!

    ok after 3 days of looking at this and trying to work out what i could and i cant do within the realms of the php

    I found that some functions of wordpress and php would cause the code to crash.
    the use of

    $templatedir = bloginfo('template_directory')
    result = shortcode pro to crash or just display the template directory at the top of the page

    but after reading for an alternative i found the

    $templatedir = get_bloginfo('template_directory')
    result = allowed result for string maipulation

    i presume how certain functions have to be parsed before the rendering of the page / post and some can be evoked as the page / post text is being built which would be after a header and above is processed

    i know the code is not the most tightest but thought that it will give people an insight

    The code fills in

    • relative root to image (no domain prefix)
      from attributes set up
    • adds the correct alt tag or a blank one if none is entered
    • the chance to add height or width or both on the image size
    • tidies up the output string so that there is no extra blank spaces between parameters

    custom code = php
    attributes alt / alt description / text
    attributes height / height size % or px / text
    attributes width / width size % or px / text

    if ($atts["alt"] =='alt=""') { $alt='';} else { $alt = 'alt="'.ltrim($atts["alt"]).'"'; }

if ($atts["width"] ==' ') { $width='';} else { $width = 'width="'.ltrim($atts["width"]).'"'; }

if ($atts["height"] ==' ') { $height='';} else { $height = 'height="'.ltrim($atts["height"]).'"'; }

$params = $alt.' '.$width.' '.$height;

$returnstring = get_bloginfo('template_directory'). '/images/' .$content.'" '.$params);

return '<img src="'. str_replace('  ',' ',$$returnstring).' />';

    hope this helps someone and gives a guide of how to use the custom code and what pitfalls you may come up against.

    i think most people would not take this long to resolve an issue as it would be a fine line of the above and then manually hardcoding shortcode functions but i wanted to see it through

    Great work matt with the plugin 🙂

    thank you for your reply Christine.. you advice confirmed what i did actually get working after some sleep ..

    also word of warning if anyone uses wamp as a local test server when trying to achieve this .. you need to make sure you have activated the rewrite_module in apache configuration as after doing the above steps when i clicked on the friendly name it would display a page cant be found

    hope this will be some use for someone 🙂
