I needed this WordPress plugin, named ILC Rich Title for a particular work I was in. I had to enable rich text editing for the title field on the edit post/page area. In fact, the customer only wanted to add some line breaks, but I added the whole TinyMCE to it. I’m not sure if this exists for the title but I researched a lot and didn’t found one.
What I did found was the TinyMCE Excerpt plugin by Simon Wheatley which enables TinyMCE for the excerpt edit field. Changing the jQuery wrap that TinyMCE Excerpt performs by targeting the appropriate title div, #title (with the help of the ever loved Firebug) I got what I wanted. After that it was a matter of triggering wpautop for both edit area and rendered content, using the edit_post_title for the former and the_title for the latter. Now, since I’m using the_title, it means that it will enclose into p all the titles so be careful when setting your css for titles.

ILC Rich Title is hosted on WordPress plugins repository. You can download it from there.

Can I split a title in two lines with this plug-in? I mean, can I force a line break in my post titles?
This could be useful when in a long title just one word is automatically placed in the second line of a title.
Thanks!
Yes Pablo, you can split the title text in two lines. Since it’s rich text you can pretty much do anything to it, but be careful not to get too messy.
When I was using this plugin, the rollover on the titles showed the html code. Is there something that I need to change so it doesn’t do this?
Chris, this is not related to the plugin, but rather an issue with you’re outputting the html for your title.
Is it compatible with the latest WordPress? (3.0.1)
Yes, it works with WP 3.0.1.
Great plugin, using it for a new design, it was outputting html code in some instances, so I had to mess around a little with the php templates for a workaround. Works perfect now 🙂
Hi Palli, would you mind sharing what kind of modifications did you performed to the plugin?
Happy to read up on tinymce… I have a relate d problem, I dont know if some greater being than us can help us solve it?
We used the tinymce for comments plugin to have a rich comment editing capability… we needed the uploading file power as well, but this plugin does not have the uploading capability…. could someone help with putting the tinymce panel without the plugin in the comments section. I think it was a great plugin in 2009, hasnt been updated since, just my 0.02!
THANKS a tonne…

Oh! it solves my problem, I have been looking for it for long time. It is really helpful.
