    Have you ever got frustrated because WordPress seems to have a mind of it’s own when you’re formatting your fonts in Visual Mode?

    You think it looks good when editing it and then you check the page or post and for some weird reason WordPress has decided to do some funky stuff to make it look really bad!? If this is you then you MUST watch the video below. I’ll show you how to edit like a Pro!

    The real beauty about this is it’s soooooooo EASY even my 94 year old Granny can do it!!

    Ready to get started?

    @Muse If you’re an ExtremeMember.com client then it’s all pre-installed but if you’re not yet then here’s the link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/

    Hi Shane,

    I have two Extreme membership sites and the TinyMCE plug in shows as activated but there isnt’ a Style icon as shown in the video to drag onto the toolbars. Its shows a “style” button” but not with the two AA’s as yours and when I drag it it adds nothing. Could you advise how to get the proper Style icon to drag?

    Thanks

    @Nile I’ll contact you direct ;) But, you have to also have the ‘Import the Current Theme CSS’ option checked! I’ve done that for you and now the ‘AA’ button appears ;)

    Thanks Shane, I did see that but didn’t’ know whether to tick it or not.

    Thanks for the video it’s a great help.

    Cant’ speak highly enough of Extreme Membership sites. I use two sites to teach UK home-based travel agents to use WordPress Blogs as business sites and Extreme Membership sites make delivering the material so easy.

    One thing I noticed on another membership system was the ability to “drip-feed” the lessons/material to the members. Is that possible with Extreme?

    @Nile thanks for the GREAT feedback. We really appreciate it. Re: Drip Fed content. We were one of the pioneers in this area. This feature has been built into EM for a number of years now! (Just go to ‘Manage Memberships’ when you edit a membership or create a new one just check the option: “This membership includes modules” and you’re on your way!

    Have a GREAT day
    Shane

    That’s great Shane. I can’t think of another feature I could need to be honest. I think the difference between Extreme Membership and the other WordPress option I saw is that Extreme is pretty much set up and ready to go.

    Thanks again and keep up the great work.

    I’ve been frustrated by wordpress’s font and styles clumsiness for years. Then, in a flash, you’ve solved my biggest wordpress headache. Thanks for the tip. And thanks for creating Extreme Member – truly the best online marketing platform available

    That’s great Patricia!! :) I wouldn’t use it for site wide type changes that is best done via the theme CSS style sheet. But it’s great for headlines here or there or other added style. Have a GREAT day
