Has glitches

By gqqnbig on August 25, 2023

It has been working for a long time, but recently I upgraded my site and this plugin fails to work.

Luckily, I just had to change

add_action('admin_print_footer_scripts', '_add_my_quicktags');

add_action('after_wp_tiny_mce', '_add_my_quicktags');

Then it works fine.

Besides, I have no idea how this plugin is updated. https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/visual-editor-custom-buttons/ has its history and it seems the author only edited the readme file, while all other files are last modified in 2012.

Simple, works perfectly

Simple and does exactly the job.

Please update!

By jforena on May 31, 2018

Great plugin but generating errors. Please update!

Good but needs updating due to numerous errors.

By muzKore (muzoid) on April 13, 2018

The plugin in fantastic. Easily make custom buttons. Really great. Issue that I am having is that the plugin throws out numerous errors when debug is turned on. It would be great if the plugin author could fix this as it spams my error log every time the editor loads. Other than that, fantastic.

Not working on fairly new multisite installation

By pediwent on February 7, 2018

Several errors come up on installation. Some might be multisite issues, but at least two are coding issues. First, the plugin uses the deprecated get_currentuserinfo() function where it should use wp_get_current_user(). Not a show stopper, but if you have debug turned on, you'll get a big warning message. Second, there is a $count++ line of code but $count is never defined. It looks left over after the developer changed a for loop to a foreach one. Last, when I try to create a new button, I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. On top of that, the plugin doesn't exactly adhere to WordPress coding standards. I like the idea of the plugin, but uninstalling it for now.

Needed to create custom html tagging inside Wordpress text editor. Installed this plugin to create a button on the toolbar to insert my custom "pre" tag with my custom shortcodes and parameters. Took about 5 minutes to install, setup and use! Thank You!
