## Description

Adds two convenient buttons to easily add/remove an id attribute to any element 
when editor a Post, Page or custom post type that uses a standard TinyMCE editor.
Uses the text contained within the element, cleaned up, to formulate a URL-friendly
id.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Look! This heading now has an id attribute because I clicked the “#” button!…
   You get the idea.

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `/addfunc-ids` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
    or download it from the WordPress repository.
 2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress.
 3. Use the _Add ID_ and _Remove ID_ buttons as needed.

## FAQ

  What does the Add ID button do?

It adds an id attribute to the selected element (or the element with the cursor 
in it) using the text within. Note: not recommended for use on paragraphs.

  What does the Remove ID button do?

It removes any id attributes from the selected element (or the element with the 
cursor in it). Note: recommended for removing ridiculously long id attributes.

  Where can I see the ID/id attribute?

You can see it in Text view. Example:

This is rad

 Will AddFunc work in Text view?

Nope. It’s a TinyMCE thang.

  Does AddFunc IDs work on custom content types, the same as they do on Posts and
Pages?

It works in any custom content type that has a standard TinyMCE editor.

  Does it really require WordPress 3.0.1 or later?

I have not tested it on earlier versions. I suspect it depends on the version of
TinyMCE included with your WordPress install. Feel free to try it out and let us
know if it works! 🙂

  Does AddFunc have a website?

Yes. [addfunc.com](http://addfunc.com/)

### 󠀁[id=”done” class=”easy”](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iddone-classeasy/)󠁿

 [Joe Rhoney](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joerhoney/) June 28, 2017

I was unable to find a plugin that would enable me to effortlessly add an id attribute
using the obviously appropriate inner text for its string, without introducing more
JavaScript to my website’s frontend output. I felt this option would be most suitable
as a WYSIWYG editor feature anyway, not an automatic “one size fits all” add-on.
I’m very strategic about id attributes and I anticipate that the text might someday
be changed. So, I can’t have the id attribute automatically updating to the new 
text on its own—I link stuff to it! #duh #sometimes-i-dont-want-the-entire-line-
of-text-used-in-the-id-attribute-string-because-that-would-just-be-insane So I need
to be able to manually edit it. #thats-better That’s why I built AddFunc IDs and
I use it on all of my websites. #the-end
