Are you still struggling with layout limitations and getting frustrated with HTML/CSS code? Finally you can forget about that and enter a new dimension with Zedity! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FyhGvPwMvg] **Advantages:** * **Design Freedom**: have you ever felt like "I wish I could just move this object right there" while creating your content? With Zedity that is now a reality! You can implement any creative design you want, with no limitation or constraints: any media (images, videos, docs, text, audios, buttons, etc.) can be placed exactly where and how you want. Unleash your creativity! * **Real Drag and Drop**: you've already seen other 'drag&drop' tools around, haven't you? So, what's new? As you may have found out, very often that "drag and drop" is about the way you bring items from the menu into the page but then, even simple things like placing two images beside each other, require enough, and often too much, technical effort. Zedity overcomes all those limitations, giving you the real Drag and Drop experienced you have wished for. * **Modern Content for Modern Devices**: Zedity generates HTML5 code without using Flash or other external plugins, so your content can be shown on any modern HTML5 browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, IE9+, Opera, Safari). * **Professional Results**: Zedity has been designed to be very easy to use and, at the same time, very flexible and powerful to enable anyone to achieve professional results. * **Save Time and Money**: Zedity will impress you for the ease of creating more engaging content in a fraction of the time! Do you still need technical skills to create your content?

For example, you can drag and drop any element (videos, images, text, audio, etc.) exactly where you want, with total flexibility for any creative layouts, add any media, and stylish effects, all in just few clicks! Zedity has been designed to enable anyone to create impressive results, which only skilled developers could do. Thank your for your interest and, if you decided to give Zedity a try, we would absolutely welcome your feedback! **Q: How do I start using Zedity?** A: After installing and enabling the plugin, a new button ("Z") appears in the WordPress visual editor. Just click on the "Z" button to open Zedity, and you can start adding your content right away. Once you're done, save ("Content" -> "Save") to exit the Zedity Editor and your content will be ready for preview or publishing. You can add Zedity content anywhere in your blog or site, as many times as you want. **Q: How come audio and video boxes are not playing after I exit the Zedity Editor?** A: No worries, that is normal behavior in WordPress: they will play normally when you publish your post. **Q: How can I update the Zedity content after saving it?** A: From the standard WordPress editor, just click on the Zedity content that you want to update and then click on the Zedity icon. **Q: Can I include as many media as I want in my content?** A: Absolutely yes. Just keep in mind that if you add many big images, then the content may end up being slower to save and load. If the maximum size allowed (which depends on the system configuration) is exceeded then it may not be possible to save the content. **Q: Is it possible to have additional video/audio services supported?** A: There are 20+ audio and video services supported as a premium feature in [Zedity Premium](http://zedity.com/plugin/wp). **Q: Can I see any live content created with Zedity?** A: Sure. At the moment we share some live examples on our [Zedity Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Zedity). **Q: Is there any tutorial about Zedity?** A: Yes, here is a YouTube channel where you can find some useful [Zedity Tutorials](http://www.youtube.com/user/ZedityTutorials). == Screenshots == 1. By clicking on the Z icon the Zedity editor opens up. 2. To get started, click on the "Add box" menu and then, for example, on "Image" to add an image. 3. Add other boxes, drag them around, add effects and eventually click on either "Save" under the "Content" menu or the Save icon. 4. In your WordPress dashboard, you can control the Zedity Settings for the default content size of your posts, the watermark position, the web fonts you intend to use in your contents, etc. == Changelog == = 1.4.4 = * Added support to show premium features * Minor enhancements, including styled dialogs for page dimensions, etc. = 1.4.3 = * Fixed a text styling issue in some browsers. = 1.4.2 = * Various optimizations and improvements. = 1.4.1 = * New feature to enable/disable the WP Theme style for the published Zedity content. * Added support for WP multi-site network installation and activation. * Text box: improved text shadow and text height. = 1.4.0 = * Added indication of media services who don't support preview. * Now border opacity slider applies opacity during slide. * Workaround for a WordPress bug where ThickBox breaks sites with RTL languages. * Various optimizations. = 1.3.4 = * Fixed an issue with TinyMCE css handling that affected images. = 1.3.3 = * Optimized visual/text switch mode. = 1.3.2 = * Added support to install Zedity Premium. * Optimizations and minor bug fixes. = 1.3.1 = * Minor optimizations and bug fix for IE10. = 1.3.0 = * Added "Content Alignment" feature to (left or right) align the Zedity content, letting the WordPress text wrap around it, just like if it's an image. * Changed minimum content size to 50x20 pixels. * Various optimizations and minor bug fixes. = 1.2.1 = * Fixed a bug in Zedity occurring with recent versions of Firefox (e.g. 23.0.1). = 1.2.0 = * Added automatic selection of Zedity content in WordPress editor, with buttons to edit or delete the content. * Various optimizations and minor bug fixes. = 1.1.0 = * Fixed an installation error occurring on some PHP platforms (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM). * New menu toolbar quick access functions. * Increased maximum allowed image file size to 10MB. * Added watermark setting. * Added image files support for browsers without HTML5 file reader (Internet Explorer 9, Safari 5.1). * Minor bug fixes. = 1.0.1 = * Center editor on screen. * Minor bug fixes. = 1.0.0 = * Initial version.
