Editing with TinyMCE

Here are the most common questions and answers about using the TinyMCE editor:

  • Question: What is the TinyMCE Editor?
    • Answer: The TinyMCE Editor is a WISISYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) editor. Instead of trying to learn HTML to format content, users can use buttons and menus to format the text the way they want it, just like a word processing program. TinyMCE appears on the pages where content is entered.
  • Question: The TinyMCE Editor is not showing up, what gives?
  • Answer: The TinyMCE Editor uses JavaScript. If you do not have JavaScript enabled, the editor will not show up. To enable JavScript, follow the instructions at this website. Although the versions listed may be outdated, the instructions are still accurate. Another possible issue is that TinyMCE has not fully loaded. Wait a few minutes for it to load. If it does not show up, you can click on the "disable rich-text" link to type using a regular textbox.
