textformats issues and more

---

Just created this topic so I can move a post from a different topic here

@mariusjopen I am replying to this topic in the hope it is the same issue?

I have just purchased and installed LayGridder on an existing website, and it works fine.

However, when I try to use a text format I only see the old, existing text formats of the website, rather than my newly added LayGridder text formats.

Do I need to add the source code you mention above somewhere? And if so, is there a more detailed, step-by-step description for someone less savvy, like myself?

This is what appears currently when I try to use formats (all formats being the old, existing ones...)

And this is one of my new LayGridder text formats that doesn't appear..

hey @billykioso

1. The text formats I create don't appear in the formats button.

I'm guessing you have inserted your own formats via your theme's code.

This filter is used to pass in custom textformats using code:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/tiny_mce_before_init/

The filter "tiny_mce_before_init" passes in an array. That array has a ['style_formats'] array key that we add LayGridder's textformats to.

Like this:

$in['style_formats'] = json_encode( $style_formats );
return $in;

In case you use that filter too or a similar one, in your theme's code you'd need to do something like:

$in['style_formats'] = array_merge( $in['style_formats'], $my_formats );

This way you'd merge your style formats and LayGridder's without replacing LayGridder's formats.

Here's some example code of how your code could look:

function my_formats($in){
	$myformats = array(…);
	$in['style_formats'] = array_merge( $in['style_formats'], $my_formats );
	return $in;
}
// use priority 11 to make sure this is run after lagridder's function 
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'my_formats', 11, 1 );
