This is going to be so sweet! I am one who is pleased.

Will it be added to the Page.ly admin area at some point by any chance? Or is it a plugin that is only integrable in themes?

I assume only the latter as of now. I will be adding it to my themes from now on for sure though.

I’d be *proud* to give you credit for this handy work. I typically provide links to all the plugins I use.

This is desperately needed at the core level for WP.

Thanks for your hard work,
~k~

Awesome work. I can definitely see this coming in handy for client work.

Maybe you should take a moment to read the license.txt file that’s distributed with every copy of WordPress before saying things like that.

I am using this plugin for a clients site. It’s a pretty good plugin. As someone stated before, a nice feature would be to control the stab structure. Other than that, the plugin is very cool. Thanks for this!

This plugin is a godsend for CMS’s. I’m implementing it into a theme tonight and notice that when I rename a region, WP keeps looking for the old one and gives me an error message. Is there somewhere in phpmyadmin where I can remove the reference to it?
I’m with the other poster, being able to rename “main content” would be a great addition.

Ok….I really should have tried this before just taking what you say in a note at the top of this page for granted…

“Note: Only Works with Visual Editor”

This is, in point of fact, not true. I was able to add html markup in the html mode, and then switch back to the regular mode and see all of the content with the changes updated.
The only thing odd is that it wraps the entire section in a tag anyway.

Other than that…works great. This is an incredible plugin. Thanks again for great work.

A BIG thanks also from me to the multi-edit plugin – until now it has saved me about a half an hour of work each day !! I can’t wait to show it to my clients, in that context I have 2 questions:

1) Could it be possible to use [shortcodes] within the tabs?!

2) I always get a text snippet like the following displayed in the bottom of my post-edit screen, can I remove it somehow?

Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic1 [1] => Pic1 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic2 [1] => Pic2 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic3 [1] => Pic3 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic4 [1] => Pic4 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic5 [1] => Pic5 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic6 [1] => Pic6 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic7 [1] => Pic7 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic8 [1] => Pic8 ) Array ( [0] => multiedit_Pic9 [1] => Pic9 )

Thanks again!

Great Plugin! I think the tabbed interface works well.

It is a little buggy though when saving directly from html view. If you switch back to visual after making changes and then save, it works fine. Using WPMU 2.9.2.

Thanks for a great contribution.

On the WordPress side, this plugin works exactly the way you think it ought to. I feel like I’ve been looking for something like this ever since I started using WP.

My one complaint is that I’m ending up with lots of junk in my code like mce_href=”whatever” and mce_bogus=”1″ and so on. I don’t know if that’s something you can fix or if it’s a problem with tinyMCE, but it’s super annoying.

This is a pretty cool plugin but I can’t seem to get it to work properly on my custom theme. I’ve added everything properly and it’s showing up fine. However, when I go to the WP backend and put content in the different tabs it always seems to put the content in the “Main” tab instead of my created tab. Any help would be much appreciated.

I’m with Jordan up above… GREAT plugin, but the bug that happens while saving while in HTML isn’t so great. Any ideas when this might be fixed? I’m using this plugin on a few sites for other people, and am pretty nervous that they are going to end up deleting their content because of the bug. Maybe there would be a way to disable the “update” button while html tab is active?

Just trying to get this plugin to work for WordPress 3.0 beta and it doesn’t seem to be. It is an essential plugin to what I’m doing so I was just wondering if there’s a quick fix or if I have to wait a little while for a compatible version to be released?

Hey Josh, Great plugin, I wanted to know how I would get it to work on a custom post type by default. I’ve edited the plugin file to add my default page array('page.php',‘post.php’,'single-custom.php') but it still doesn’t seem to be working. Is there another solution for this?

@jenny when you enter content and it disappears I had same problem, until I revisted the formating of custom template declaration up top. I had spaces after region names at first. I took them away and all good!

@joshua This incredidible plugin has worked for me 100′s times so thanks for my best ever plugin. It’s not working on page templates where I have custom query.

Any advice. Please. I’ll donate more, just help.
Thanks!

Currently working on a new wordpress website and this is exactly what i need. I have been looking for a plugin that allows me to create two columns on a page for a while. Really helpful thankyou.

Using WordPress 3.2.1, how do you get this to work with custom post types?

If this can be done with this plugin, that would truly make WordPress a completely customizable CMS that is easy for clients to update and manage.

My only complaint with this plugin is that your SEO is not good enough – I’ve been looking for a plugin like this for EVER. This totally rocks, and should be part of the WP core, and makes my life a thousand time easier in a thousand ways.

Hi there…was wondering if I could get some help. I have installed Plugin: Page.ly MultiEdit as well as AnythingSlider.

The two aren’t playing nice with each other because of the short codes. AnythingSlider requires a short code in order to function [anything_slides].

If I put in this short code into my page (any one of the MultiEdit tabs) it loads the slider but automatically disables the multiEdit from rendering.

Note: I have checked Yes to the MultiEdit Short Code Support: and I have used the php echo do_shortcode in the themes custom_home page as well, which also disables the MultiEdit from rendering.

Here is the site so you can see what I am trying to do: http://66.147.244.61/~lifechu5/
I need the slider on top then was wanting to use mutliedit for the three tabs below it.

Thanks so much for the help!

Wonderful plugin you have here. I just implemented it with a client and its working well.

Would love to see a version for Custom Post Types, but in its current state, I am not sure how that would work. (Custom Post Types dont have template options, which this plugin requires for pages).

In any event, if there is anyone forking the code to try and do this, I’d love to see it.

Hi Joshua,

Thank you for this plugin – I’ve used once before and found it really useful! I have a question about an upcoming project… Do you know if multi edit multi-edit compatible with Magic Members subscription plugin??
Best regards,

Denise

I am having the same issue where content disappears from the tabbed content areas. This occurs on clicking to another tab or saving.
Any solution for this? Just installed the plugin so I’m sure I have the latest version.

Hi,

Quick question.
1. Is it possible to edit the tab name in the admin (without going in php).
2. Is it possible to create another tab in the admin (without going in php).
3. Is it possible to rearrange the tabs in the admin (without going in php).

If not could you direct me how?

Thanks in advance.

The tabs don’t look right in my browsers. Solution below.

#multiEditControl {
border-bottom: 1px solid #21759B;
line-height: 2em;
height: 2em;
margin: 3em 0 1em 0;
display: block;
}
#multiEditControl span.multieditbutton {
display:inline-block;
margin:-1px 5px 0 5px;
background:#f1f1f1;
border:1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 0px;
padding: 0 10px;
cursor: pointer;
color: #21759B;
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft:6px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 6px;
}

#multiEditControl span.multieditbutton.selected {
background:#fff;
border-color: #21759B;
padding-bottom: 1px;
}

Was able to make it work for custom post types when using single-{posttype}.php files:

Add to line 191:
if( $post->page_template == ” ){
if( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . “/single-” . $post->post_type . “.php”) ) {
$post->page_template = “single-” . $post->post_type . “.php”;
}
}

Looks like:

function doMultiMeta() {

global $post;
$meta = has_meta($post->ID);

if( $post->page_template == ” ){
if( file_exists( TEMPLATEPATH . “/single-” . $post->post_type . “.php”) ) {
$post->page_template = “single-” . $post->post_type . “.php”;
}
}

// if default template.. assign var to page.php
$post->page_template == ‘default’ ? $post->page_template = ‘page.php’ : ”;

@Mark, Eddy, Nick:
Besides including the buttons, the content from the multiEditFreezer is included as well.
While Joshua is busy taking pics from his newborn son ;-) let’s change line 33.
from: jQuery(‘#multiEditControl’).append(jQuery(‘#multiEditHidden span’));
to: jQuery(‘#multiEditControl’).append(jQuery(‘#multiEditHidden span.multieditbutton’));
