Ticket #15346: AddEditPostPageHelpTab.patch

File AddEditPostPageHelpTab.patch, 5.7 KB (added by dougwrites, 14 years ago)

Extensive cleanup for edit-form-advanced.php; separated from other help tab patches because this file/screen also has tickets #15376 and #15638 working on improving the help text about Formats (not addressed by this patch). Now includes changes in Screen Options (nod to WP-Testers).
