TheDock Enhanced Rich Text Editor

TheDock Enhanced Rich Text Editor brings the power of TinyMCE 7 to WordPress, replacing the outdated Classic Editor with a modern, feature-rich editing experience. While the WordPress core team focuses on the Block Editor, many developers prefer the classic workflow with custom post types and custom fields. This plugin bridges this gap by providing a contemporary editor without abandoning the structured data approach that developers love. Key Features

• TinyMCE 7 - The latest version with improved performance and stability
• Modern Interface - Clean, intuitive toolbar design
• Table Editor - Full table support without additional plugins
• Text Styling - Inline text color and background color options
• List Styles - Multiple ordered and unordered list formats
• Image Handling - Inline images with percentage-based widths
• Paste Cleaning - Intelligent sanitization of pasted content

ACF Integration Works seamlessly with Advanced Custom Fields:

• Textarea fields automatically get inline formatting (bold, italic, links)
• WYSIWYG fields receive the full TinyMCE 7 experience
• Repeater and Flexible Content fields fully supported
• Custom toolbar configurations per field

Built for Developers This plugin was created by the team at TheDock, who build WordPress sites using structured content approaches. We needed a better classic editor, so we built one. TheDock Site Builder Integration For users of TheDock Site Builder, this plugin provides additional capabilities:

• Apply your custom Typography styles directly in the editor
• Use colors from your Global Color Palette
• Full web font support
• Gradient text support

Privacy This plugin:

• Does not track users
• Does not collect personal data
• Does not send data to external servers
• Does not use cookies

Technical Notes The link autocomplete feature uses WordPress's built-in REST API to search for posts and media within your site. No external services are contacted. Source Code The full uncompressed source code for all JavaScript and CSS files is included in the src/ directory of this plugin. The build configuration files (Gruntfile.js, Brocfile.js, package.json) are also included. To build from source:

1. Install Node.js (v16 or later)
2. Run npm install to install build dependencies
3. Run grunt build to compile and minify assets

The compiled JavaScript is built from ES6 modules in src/js/ using Rollup (via Broccoli). The compiled CSS is built from SCSS files in src/css/ using Sass with PostCSS/Autoprefixer.
