We had a problem adding the PayPal ‘View Cart’ Button to our site. PayPal support told us that the editor was changing their code and so the decryption wouldn’t work. I had to deactivate the ‘Dean’s FCKEditor for WordPress plugin(V3.3)’ in order to paste the code successfully. Paypal told me that they get many calls about this.
I love this plugin!
it is exactly what I was looking for and works perfect, get on it everyone :)
Running Version 3.3.1 of your editor plugin with Version 3.2 of WP, I have encountered problems with everyone but the official admin user being locked out of updating pages. The changes can be made in the editor but when “Update” is clicked, the page refreshes with none of the changes saved and the live page is not updated.
I disabled your editor and the problem went away.
Hi! This plugin is great… but, I get a warning:
“Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead.”
It’s only visible at develop time, because if you put the:
define(’WP_DEBUG’, false);
in wp-config.php the bug is not show, but… you can’t access to the plugin options page, here my solution:
In the dans_fckeditor_class.php file, find the first line, comment it and add the second:
//add_options_page(’FCKEditor’, ‘FCKEditor’, 8, ‘deans_fckeditor’, array(&$this, ‘option_page’));
add_menu_page( ‘FCKEditor’, ‘FCKEditor’, ‘edit_posts’, ‘deans_fckeditor’, array(&$this, ‘option_page’), ”);
The add_menu_page() function fails, and the info I found about it in the official documentation is inconsistent…

Hi,
I love this plugin, however I have a small problem: I want to use another plugin that adds buttons to the editor. It works fine with WP default editor, but this one doesn’t add the necessary buttons to the editor.
Is there a solution for this issue?
Thanks
When this plugin use as comment editor, the comment area not displayed. I have tried in different browser (chrome 17, IE9, Firefox 8, Safari 5.1, opera 11.51). The comment area show up when I logged into wordpress (edit mode).
So, I temporarily disable “Use CKeditor as comment editor”
But, as post/page editor, it wonderful
Dean, I’m having the same issue as Jim (above); I am trying to do multi-column tables but just cannot get them to configure correctly. Other than this one issue, I love using FCKEditor.
Hi Dean,
I have installed your extension on more than 50 blogs - I love it!
However, your plugin is no longer available through the WordPress Directory from the Dashboard.
I used to find it by typing “fckeditor” - but it doesn’t work anymore.
I’ve tried other searches -”editor” “dean” and more but I can’t find it.
Can you help?
Thanks.
Diane
this is the greatest plugin for wordpress
