For those of you who updated to WordPress 3.9 and using the TinyMCE plugin, you may have noticed it is not working properly anymore.

TinyMCE now recommends that you switch to the WP Edit plugin. I have just installed the WP Edit plugin, it does not have nearly the amount of features that TinyMCE offered. But it still gives you the popular font size and font family options.

For Those Of You Who Don't Know What TinyMCE Is:

TinyMCE added additional functionality to your editor so that you can further customize your pages and posts without knowing any code.

This comes in very handy for quickly changing fonts and formats. If you want to add these to your editor, install the WP Edit plugin from your Plugins section in the WordPress Dashboard.
