Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

To use Enlighter together with autooptimize it’s required to exclude the Enlighter resources from autooptimize (EnlighterJS is already optimized!) Goto Settings / Autooptimize / Javascript options / Exclude scripts from Autoptimize and add enlighter/resources/ to the end of the comma separated list.
No, you can’t use Enlighter together with the Crayon Syntax highlighter because it may take over the Enlighter elements.
If possible, use the VisualEditpr mode! The use of Shortcode is only recommended when working in Text-Mode. By switching to the Visual-Editor-Mode whitespaces (linebreaks, indents, ..) within the shortcode will get removed by the editor – using Visual-Editor mode will avoid such problems.
This problem is caused by WordPress’ wpAutoP filter – to fix this issue, go to “Enlighter Settings -> Advanced -> WpAutoP Filter Priority” and change this value to “Priority 12 (after shortcode). For cross-plugin-compatibility this feature is disabled by default.
You have to enable the full toolbar by clicking on the Show/Hide Kitchen Sink button (last icon on the toolbar)
The directory /wp-content/plugins/enlighter/cache/ must be writable – the generated css files as well as some cached content will be stored there for performance reasons. Try to set chmod to 0644 or 0770
The cache-directory wp-content/plugins/enlighter/cache have to be writable, the generated stylesheet will be stored there. Set the directory permission (chmod) to 0644 or 0777
This feature requires WordPress 3.9 (new TinyMCE Version) – but you can still use shortcodes for inline highlighting!
To enable the Theme-Customizer you have to select the theme named Custom as default theme. The Theme-Customizer will appear immediately.
Yes! since version 1.5 all shortcodes support the attribute highlight. Shortcode Example: highlight the lines 2,3,4,8 of the codeblock [js highlight="2-4,8"]....some code..[/js]
The complete EnlighterJS project can be found on GitHub
Yes you can! – The simplest way is to download the EnlighterJS CSS sources and modify one of the standard themes. Finally create a directory named enlighter into your WordPress theme and put the css file into it.
You have to enable the frontend editing function: Enlighter Settings Page -> Advanced -> TinyMCE Integration (Visual Editor) -> Enable Frontend Integration. This feature also requires a logged-in user with edit_posts and/or edit_pages privileges and is only available for the wp_editor function – no third party editors are supported!
If you are already using MooTools on your page, you have to disable the automatic inclusion of MooTools by Enlighter. Goto the Enlighter options page -> Advanced and select “Not include” as MooTools source.Note: EnlighterJS requires MooTools > 1.4
Of course, the filter hook enlighter_startup can be used to terminate the plugin initialization
