I found this code on the WordPress form, seems to work well without any Javascript.

add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘action_add_meta_boxes’, 0 );
function action_add_meta_boxes() {
global $_wp_post_type_features;
if (isset($_wp_post_type_features[‘post’][‘editor’]) && $_wp_post_type_features[‘post’][‘editor’]) {
unset($_wp_post_type_features[‘post’][‘editor’]);
add_meta_box(
‘description_section’,
__(‘Description’),
‘inner_custom_box’,
‘post’, ‘normal’, ‘high’
);
}
if (isset($_wp_post_type_features[‘page’][‘editor’]) && $_wp_post_type_features[‘page’][‘editor’]) {
unset($_wp_post_type_features[‘page’][‘editor’]);
add_meta_box(
‘description_sectionid’,
__(‘Description’),
‘inner_custom_box’,
‘page’, ‘normal’, ‘high’
);
}
}
function inner_custom_box( $post ) {
the_editor($post->post_content);
}

I tried in vain to get this to work. Thinking something in my theme’s css was screwing it up, I tried to install this code on the default wordpress twenty_eleven theme.

Jquery (I am guessing) is the problem, anyone know exactly how to insert this into the default theme, and (once working) I can do it on my theme.

Thanks!

Figured it out – just add your own here:
foreach (array(‘page’,’post’,’custom_type’, ‘movies’)

Thanks, but I have a question,

How to implement it in a new content type?

I created a new content type called “Movies”, when I create a new “Movie”, the editor can’t me affected… only new posts does…

Any help?

Hi again,
The code duplicate the form title, if the plugin qTranslate installed. like this:
Titre (Deutsch) :
Titre (Français) :
Titre (Deutsch) :
Titre (Français) :

and it’s impossible to move the WYSIWUG

is there any solution?
thanks

Move the Position of the WordPress WYSIWYG Visual Editor below sortables boxes on edit.php only for a certain custom post. (note that you have to change custom_postype_name for the postype name)

In functions.php you have to add this code.
function admin_footer_hook(){ global $post; if ( get_post_type($post) == 'custom_postype_name'') { ?>


		jQuery('#normal-sortables').insertBefore('#postdivrich');

} } add_action('admin_footer','admin_footer_hook');

Great idea.
Since the editor would easily break on drag-and-drop.
I simply moved #normal-sortables before #postdivrich:

jQuery(‘#normal-sortables’).insertBefore(‘#postdivrich’);
