Custom and CKEditor Plugin Button Management

[Joy Rex]

Where is the area in the ACP that you can remove or edit custom CKEditor buttons or remove buttons you've added that are no longer needed?

I am aware of that - my question is how to remove buttons (either custom buttons, or CKEditor button plugins) - there is no ability to remove them once you've created/installed them.

I've set things back the default. I have not seen a way to just remove individual additions.

Did doing so remove any CKEditor buttons you installed, or any custom buttons?

It brought it back to the default. So any changes done from the base went away.

Good to know - it still would be nice though if there was a way to explicitly remove addons and custom buttons. Maybe for IPS 5 @Matt?

Yeah, I've made comments about this before as well.  I've also found that some updates inexplicably reset my custom button setup (or reset to default or whatever).  I've said there should be a way to save configurations/profiles and/or custom buttons (even if they're out of date, because those can sometimes still work), but editor button management remains quite clunky for me.

That's good to know - I just had to create a custom Bandcamp button, and I'd hate to have to redo that after an update.

I not only save whatever code I can (I back up my CKEditor button packages going back 1-2 versions), but I've also learned through hard experience that taking a screenshot of your "perfect" editor setup is a great way to keep it in case you need to reconstruct it. 🙂
