To learn more about the Xinha Editor, see the Documentation, Newbie Guide, FAQ, Examples, and Forums,

Hints

• Don't enable plugins that you don't expect to use. Every enabled plugin loads more JavaScript code in pages where the editor is in use.
• Xinha for WordPress doesn't currently sense the HTML restrictions for comments so make sure before you activate a set of format buttons that the HTML they produce is allowed.
• You can update Xinha itself by replacing the xinha_core directory with the latest nightly build. Do this at your own risk! Until Xinha is officially released, the nightly builds may contain new features, bug fixes, and new bugs. We will try to post nightly builds which have new functionality and beta tests show to be stable until v1.0 is released.
  • NOTE! If you upgrade Xinha have magic_quotes turned on for PHP, ImageManager will have problems processing its configuration. You can fix this by editing xinha_core/plugins/ImageManager/config.inc.php and adding the following line after session_start() (around Line 290):
    
    if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $_REQUEST['backend_config'] = stripslashes($_REQUEST['backend_config']);
    
    I have submitted a bug report on this to get it fixed in the Xinaha codebase.
• Be careful not to include too many buttons on one toolbar line with ToolbarFlow turned off - if a toolbar is wider than the browser it will overlap other screen elements
• If you enable the Image Manager plugin, you must ensure /wp-content/images is writable by the web server user

Troubleshooting

• If you can't get the SpellCheck plugin to function, make sure you have the aspell package installed on your web server.
• If you can't seem to store or 'Learn' words into a personal dictionary for SpellChecker, make sure the the directory /wp-content/plugins/xinha4wp/xinha_core/plugins/SpellChecker/personal_dicts is writable by the user your web server is running as.
