After using the code tweak ($args['teeny'] = false;
) I was then able to use this snippet:
add_filter("mce_buttons", "tinymce_editor_buttons", 99); //targets the first line
function tinymce_editor_buttons($buttons) {
return array(
"formatselect",
"bold",
"italic",
"underline",
"bullist",
"numlist",
"blockquote",
"justifyleft",
"justifycenter",
"justifyright",
"code",
"link",
"unlink",
"image",
"wp_adv"
//add more here...
);
}
