Hi all

I've just finished my first Wordpress site but was wondering: how do I get additional text styles that I define in style.css to appear in the drop-down text-style Format menu that users see by default when they edit their content (the one that allows them to select whether they want given text to appear as h1, h2, p etc)? For example, Ive defined the following text style in my style.css sheet but have no idea how to get it to appear in this drop-down menu:

.blue {
margin: 16px 0;
font-size: medium;
colour: #000066;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

There really isn't a hook for that since the javscript files aren't dynamic. You'd need to edit the javascript directly for the editor itself which is in wp-includes/js/tinymce. However, you really never want to edit core files since this would be overwritten on each upgrade.

You may want to try this plugin. It says it is only compatible up to 2.8.5 but I have just recently installed it on a 3.1 and it works fine so far. This allows much more control over the styling.

Of course, the other option is to switch to HTML view and just insert the html such as

<p class="blue-text>blah blah</p>

Many thanks racer x. Will look at the plug-in.

I want to set-up Wordpress so that the customers can select any text they choose (on additional pages that they add) and get the right style so this isn't really an option.

The reason I need it is that - for some reason - any changes I make to the p style in the style.css do not reflect int he website - change I make in other styles such as h1 do. I don't know if this is due to the theme (omniblock) or whether it is a general quirk of Wordpress??
