I hate editing things in a web browser, especially when it is browsing WordPress.
I wish I could edit pages/content from jEdit.

    What about using the WordPress.com official app? Not sure about your
    platform, so maybe you can't use it, but it seems to work pretty well.

    Of course, that doesn't mean you don't still want a plugin, or you're about
    to announce one and this was a lead in...

      I never tried the app before. I just downloaded it and tried it.
      The wordpress site I want to edit is not hosted on wordpress.com though, so
      it seems I must add a plugin to this.
      So I still don't know what it is like to use yet.

        Do you need to install JetPack?

        There are quite a few benefits to installing it (I think), mainly for
        things like using the WP CDN for your images. I also like the way they do
        the "related posts".

        But, if you don't want to install it for other reasons, I guess you'll need
        a jEdit plugin :)

            Ok, that's strange. I wonder if it's a port thing or something.

            If you'd like assistance debugging that, and you'd like to take it out of
            the jEdit discussion, feel free to respond directly. I don't pretend to
            think I know anything you don't, but in case you'd like a second pair of
            eyes, let me know.

              I'm not at all up on Wordpress, but I did run across this article:

              https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/best-text-editors-wordpress/

              It lists a bunch of text editors that work well with Wordpress. jEdit isn't
              listed, but it has all the capabilities of the ones on the list. What else
              would you need besides the XML plugin?

                I don't know enough about wordpress yet to answer your question, Dale.
                I am not sure what format wordpress content is stored in. If it is simple HTML on a regular file system, then the SFTP plugin + the HTML sidekick might be good enough.

                If wordpress uses a database to store its content, then we need a way to read/write to that database.

                If the file format is not HTML or XML, but some other format, I guess we would need an edit mode for that too. If it was XML, we'd need a formal grammar/schema definition for it.

                  There are 2 things being discussed here it seems:

                  1- Developing for WordPress

                  WordPress is developed using PHP with a database for storage. So, to
                  develop a WP plugin, for example, you'd just need an IDE that can work with
                  PHP and possibly JS/CSS/HTML. You probably don't need to access the data in
                  the DB directly.

                  If you're developing themes for WordPress, again, you need an IDE that can
                  handle PHP/JS/CSS/HTML

                  2- Writing/Posting/Blogging to WordPress

                  If you're wanting to create a plugin in jEdit that allows you to write your
                  blog post/articles in jEdit and post them directly to a WordPress site, you
                  can take a look at this page:

                  https://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_Support

                  "WordPress uses an XML-RPC interface. WordPress has its own implementation
                  for WordPress-specific functionality in an API called the WordPress API.
                  This should be used when possible, and your client should use the API
                  variants beginning with the wp prefix."

                  Of course you'd be rewriting all the functionality that's already available
                  in the admin UI in WP for writing, or, in the WordPress.com app, but it's
                  possible.

                  I hope that helps.

                  thanks

                As far as I can tell, that list is for developing in WordPress as opposed
                to posting articles/posts/pages to WordPress which is what I understood
                your plugin suggestion to mean.

                And, jEdit should be on there if you feel it compares to those editors as a
                PHP "IDE". I've used it for WordPress coding in the past many times, but
                I'm not exactly a full time WP developer.

                An example of the items that they list for the other editors and matches
                jEdit perfectly:
                - It has a simple interface with many features including multiple cursors
                and themes
                - search and replace
                - code hints
                - syntax highlighting
                - and database management capabilities.

                Maybe the last item is a bit "iffy" for beginners in jEdit, but it's
                definitely doable.

                Perhaps one day when "plugin packs" are implemented where you could have a
                "WordPress pack" that installs any plugins (as a batch) specific to
                WordPress, it would be easier to set up for noobies to jEdit. Or, perhaps
                help articles showing what's needed for each environment in a "getting
                started" type page?

                I hope all that made sense.
