Synchronize the Visual and Text Editor
-
I can find no way to find text in the visual and text tabs on a post or page easily. If there was a way to synchronize these editors, it would save a lot of wasted time. I have tried several WordPress blogs to determine if this was available, and was told that it was not.
They suggested that I contact this forum since this is the only group that might be able to help us get that synchronization. It would be extremely convenient if when I found an item to edit in the visual editor, I could click on the text editor and would be placed at the same point in the text editor?
I have talked to several WordPress users and everyone of them strongly supported this need.
I hope this request leads somewhere!
Thanks

Hi Jerry,
Hope you are doing great.
The “Text” editor is referred as “HTML” on “My Sites” >> Pages / Posts section. You can use the HTML tag to add the HTML code.
Please refer these screenshots:

Archana: I believe that you misunderstood my question which is most likely my fault. Sorry!!
What I was attempting to ask was:
1. I’m on the visual page at a specific place.
2. I would like to be able to open the text editor and be at the exact same place as I was in the visual editor.
3. Is there any way do that?I hope this makes sense.

Apologies, I misunderstood your query! Unfortunately, there is no way to achieve this at the moment. You have to scroll down and reach the certain place if you switch from visual to text tab.
I would suggest you to post your request under “Ideas” section https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas. Someone from staff can help you on this.
Best,
Archana.
