@Bill: your suggestion works for me, too — thanks so much!

@Jake: FYI, i’ve also been seeing a weird behavior where, if i try to insert an image in the main content block, secondaryHTML takes it into a secondary block instead. i can avert the misbehavior by using the Visual editor to insert the image into the main block, instead of using the HTML editor.

Regarding the missing upload and HTML button in WP3, I have a fix that works for us.

We usually use the secondary html content on pages only. So, we have this setting set to ZERO:

Posts
– Number of extra HTML blocks

If I set this to something other than zero, the buttons show up again!

Weird, yes. But, it works.

Let me know if this works for you! Thanks.

Hi Jake,

I have a client who wants certain pages to be password protected, so I used the wordpress visibility settings to set it to password protected. But the secondary html content in the sidebar still show up even when the main content says “enter password.”

Any idea how I can make it work? I am using php code in my theme template to display secondary html content.

btw, I agree with other posters that in WP3, html button doesn’t show up in secondary html editor window. Install TinyMCE Advanced plugin and move the html button into the tool bar and that solves the problem…

Jake, I’m not sure if I was clear in my earlier comment. (http://www.cmurrayconsulting.com/software/wordpress-secondary-html-content/#comment-6406)

It has nothing to do with the HTML button on the secondary html blocks.

Basically, when you save the page with the HTML editor selected in the main content block (ie. the WP default content block), you lose line breaks in the secondary html block.

@Jake

Thank you very much for the clarification.
I’m now feel more confident to use your plugin for my project.

I will design my page to contain the main content in the first block
and use the 2nd/ 3rd/ 4th /5th blocks for additional data.

Worst case scenario, the main content is still there ( the_conent ) and
the additional data is still retrievable ( get_post_meta ) no matter what happens.

Great plugin, please keep it up.

Jake, I have an update. I noticed when adding a new page that the HTML button and the Media buttons are in fact appearing, but after I publish the page they disappear. Hope that bit of information helps.

I am experiencing the same problem in WP 3.0. I’m using the plug-in with a theme that I developed in WP 2.9.2 and now I’m trying it on a new site in WP 3.0 but the media buttons and the HTML button are missing. I haven’t changed anything from the last site, the only difference is WP 3.0.

Jake, have you experienced any other reports of 3.0 weirdness? That’s the only thing that I can think of.

yes, tried turning on the media buttons. i now see that it looks like checking the media-buttons box is having no effect. permissions problem somewhere?? doesn’t seem like it could be a conflict with another plugin since the only other active one is WPListCal, which i’ve installed since this problem cropped up. tried from another browser in case something is being blocked somewhere — same problem from both FF3.6 and safari 5.0.1. and you haven’t seen this one, huh? very sad, a fix for this would make my life so much easier. would it help for me to email you screenshots?

Unfortunately I do not see an HTML button either in WP 3.01. You really need that

Lydia – I’m not sure why you don’t see the HTML button. The media buttons need to be turned on using the checkbox on the settings page for the plugin.
