## Description

Simple, option-less (yeah, that’s a feature), plugin to make TinyMCE – the WordPress
Visual Editor – easier for clients and n00bs. It removes a bunch of TinyMCE features
that could potentially be used by inexperienced clients to screw-up the theme developers
hard work! It also makes TinyMCE remove the nasty formatting when you paste content
directly in it – so, there is no need to use the “paste from Word” or “paste from
text” buttons!

Thanks to [Zé Fontainhas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vanillalounge) for testing
and SVN help and [Tiago Rodrigues](http://http://trodrigues.net/) for help with 
TinyMCE “paste” issues.

## Installation

 1. Upload `clientproof-visual-editor.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Enjoy the simplified Visual Editor

## FAQ

  What buttons are kept in the Editor?

 * బలంగా
 * Emphasis
 * Strike Through
 * Format (h2, h3, h4, Paragraph, Code)
 * Unordered Lists
 * Ordered Lists
 * Blockquote
 * Link Buttons
 * Horizontal Line
 * More Tag
 * Full Screen mode

  Where are the plugin options?

This plugin has no options. That is a feature! Just activate it and enjoy the simplicity.

  Does it do anything else?

When you paste text directly into the visual editor, all formatting gets removed
automagically! There’s no need to teach clients to use the “Paste as Text” or “Paste
from Word” buttons (which I always found hard to get people to remember using them).

Prevents your clients from shooting themselves in the foot (and blaming you)

This is one of my new favourite plugins. Gone are the days of idiots sticking hideous
colour schemes and weird unwanted code into pages via the visual editor 🙂

Really nice, simple and effective! Often i need to tell clients not to touch some
of the things, but this is really make it easier. Good job on this one and I hope,
that you gonna update this for every new version of WP :>
