How to Change the Font in HTML Editor In WordPress 3.3

Posted on by

The HTML editor in WordPress 3.3 uses monospace font, which is not really friendly to the eyes. Here’s how to change the font to, say, verdana.

1. Open your theme’s functions.php file.

2. Copy and paste the following code:

add_action( 'admin_head-post.php', 'wpdb_fix_html_editor_font' );
add_action( 'admin_head-post-new.php', 'wpdb_fix_html_editor_font' );
 
function wpdb_fix_html_editor_font() { ?>
    <style type="text/css">
        #editorcontainer #content, #wp_mce_fullscreen, .wp-editor-area {
            font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif!important;
        }
    </style>
<?php }

3. Save the functions.php file back to the server.

That’s it.

Here’s how you can do it.

How to Edit The Excerpt

Posted on by

Changing the Excerpt length

Paste this code to the functions.php of your theme folder.

function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
	return 30; //change this number to determine the number of words returned
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );

Adding “Read More” link after the excerpt

function new_excerpt_more($more) {
        return '... <span class="read-more"><a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more  &raquo;</a></span>';
       //if you just want to remove the [...] after the excerpt, use 'return '';'
}
add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

That’s it.
