The trouble has been resolved. ( AddQuicktag 2.6.1 )

By himejiro on June 8, 2021

WordPress4.9.18 AddQuicktag 2.6.1 Japanese ------------- This plugin is very useful! (star*5 ★★★★★)   However, after updating, I can no longer save the label name of the button. I typed it in English instead of Japanese and it was solved! But it's time to finish using it... I am not good at English. sorry.

Old-fashioned interface

By BeeCee (csigncsign) on March 12, 2021

Meanwhile in 2021 the plugin could get a new interface ... it is hard and confusing to edit there anything.

It's useful plugin.

doesn´t work in visual editor - no support

By Jenni1990 on April 6, 2017

I thought the idea of this plugin is perfect. In text Editor it works perfect... but there you can just add the tag yourself... maybe in copy, because of the code size... but it´s easy for you if you know html the best. And otherwise you would use the visual editor. We´re working in team. I do the technical stuff and some others create text for the site. They use the visual editor, because they don`t know much about html and css. In visual editor yout get the entry for your tag in a list and you can choose it. But nothing happens. If you switch to text editor and choose your tag like <opening tag>some text</clothing tag> and switch back to visual editor the tag including "some text" is magically disappeared... I just wrote this issue in support forum.. this is 6 days ago and nothing happened... Maybe it´s not a bug, but a feature... but I don´t want this feature!

Great!
