    One More Tip’s

    if you like to have default advanced editor

    hit ALT+V (IE) or ALT+SHIFT+V (Firefox) to toggle the Advanced Toolbar

    or

    (Try at you’r own risk it’s work for me charm)

    In line 31 of

    wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php

    Move the ‘wp_adv’ to before the ‘wp_adv_start’

    Like this ‘wp_adv’,'wp_adv_start’,

    save the file Done
