Easily disables the visual editor globally.
Hooks the user_can_richedit filter and returns false so that the visual editor is never used. Much more efficient, simple and reliable than the other disable visual editor plugin that requires you to delete the visual editor files from your install.

Front-end Editor is a plugin that lets you make changes to your content directly from your site. No need to load the admin backend just to correct a typo.
It makes the same <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities" rel="nofollow ugc">capability</a> checks, so that if a user isn’t allowed to edit something in wp-admin, they aren’t allowed to edit it in the front-end either.
You can edit posts, pages, custom post types, comments, widgets and many <a href="http://github.com/scribu/wp-front-end-editor/wiki/List-of-editable-elements" rel="nofollow ugc">more elements</a>.
Goals:
<ul>
<li>save as many trips to the backend as possible</li>
<li>compatible with any theme, out of the box</li>
<li>light and fast</li>
</ul>
Support and development:
<a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/front-end-editor" rel="ugc">Support</a> is handled by the lovely <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/profile/designsimply" rel="ugc">designsimply</a>.
I am not developing the plugin anymore; only applying the patches that other people send via <a href="https://github.com/scribu/wp-front-end-editor/" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>.
