<p>TinyMCE has a built in feature to include a predefined list of links to select from. This plugin simply creates a list<br />
from your pages in WordPress. Create a link like usual in TinyMCE, but you now have a new drop down menu called “Link List”<br />
where all pages/links are already setup for you.</p>
<p>This currently only works for pages, not for posts.</p>

Using the External Link List feature of TinyMCE, this makes it easy to create a link to another page on your website.

<p>This plugin adds a new <code>Visual Editor</code> widget type that allows you to insert rich text and media objects in your sidebars with no hassle. With Black Studio TinyMCE Widget you will be able to edit your widgets in a WYSIWYG manner using the native WordPress TinyMCE editor, just like you do in posts and pages. And if you are a developer you may still switch back and forth from Visual to HTML mode.</p>
<p>For years the default WordPress text widget has been very basic and it required HTML knowledge to add formatting and images/media to the text. This plugin was born in 2011 to overcome these limitations. After a long time, in June 2017, version 4.8 of WordPress finally introduced a new text widget that included the ability to manage text widgets with the visual editor. The new widget available in WordPress core could now be used as a basic replacement of Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, but the plugin still offers some additional features, so it remains a must-have for advanced users.</p>
<h4>Basic Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add rich text widgets to your sidebars and edit them using the TinyMCE visual editor</li>
<li>Switch between Visual mode and HTML mode (including Quicktags toolbar)</li>

<li>Insert links to existing WordPress pages/posts or external resources</li>

</ul>
<h4>Advanced Features</h4>

A very convenient plugin if you need some edition tools in widget and you don’t know HTML.
