For some reason, the <hr> tag (horizontal rule) is not enabled by default on the WordPress Visual (TinyMCE) Editor. Fortunately it is very easy to enable, with a little addition to your functions.php file.
function enable_more_buttons($buttons) { $buttons[] = 'hr'; /* Repeat with any other buttons you want to add, e.g. $buttons[] = 'fontselect'; $buttons[] = 'sup'; */ return $buttons; } add_filter("mce_buttons", "enable_more_buttons");
