<p>Removes those extra-tempting but extra-problematic buttons from tinyMCE, like font color, alignment, and other things that will wreck your style sheet.</p>
<p>In addition, it removes “Heading 1” from the role dropdown, as there should never be more than one H1 on a page — and the page or post title is already it.</p>
<h4>Why Does Formatting Matter?</h4>
<p>When people first get their hands on that shiny WordPress text editor, they often get swept up in the excitement of styling their text. “This is important, so I’ll make it red! And this part will be centered, and this part will use giant letters!”</p>
<p>But as fun as this is, there’s a way to use the WordPress text composer like a pro, and the benefits of doing it in that way are big:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Better potential rankings</strong> on search engines (Search Engine Optimization)</li>
<li>A consistent look across your whole website and other materials (research shows that visual consistency leads to <strong>trust</strong>)</li>
<li>Better <strong>flexibility</strong> across different devices, from desktops to mobile phones</li>
<li>Better <strong>accessibility</strong> for readers with a wide range of disabilities.</li>
<li>Better <strong>maintainability</strong> when it comes to future site updates — that means savings!</li>
<li>What’s the secret sauce that provides all these benefits?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Mark your text with what it is, not what it should look like</strong>.</p>
<h4>What does that mean?</h4>
<p>It means that your website already has a style guide built into it, so that it knows that a subtitle looks a certain way — perhaps it is larger, bold, or a different color than the main text. <strong>So when you type in a subtitle, you only need to let WordPress know that it’s a subtitle, and the rest will be taken care of. Do not give in to the temptation</strong> to mark the subtitle text as bold, larger, centered or a different color from the WordPress editor.</p>
<p>This plugin removes the most damaging buttons from the WordPress editor, so you (or your clients) won’t be tempted to use them.</p>

Remove Problematic Formatting Options From tinyMCE

Removes those extra-tempting but extra-problematic buttons from tinyMCE, like font color, alignment, and other things that will wreck your style sheet …

<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 images, videos, and other media from WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Insert links to existing WordPress pages/posts or external resources</li>
<li>Support for shortcodes, smilies and embed in widget text (including preview)</li>
<li>Support for the Block-based Widgets Editor introduced with WordPress 5.8</li>
<li>Support for Customizer with live preview and quick edit</li>
<li>Support for widgets accessibility mode</li>
<li>Compatible with multi-site (WordPress networks)</li>
<li>Compatible with the most common multi-language plugins</li>
<li>Compatible with Page Builder plugin by SiteOrigin</li>
<li>Translations available in 20+ languages</li>
</ul>
<h4>Advanced Features</h4>
<p>These features are what makes this plugin better than the WordPress (4.8+) native widget:</p>
<ul>
<li>Full featured TinyMCE Visual Editor (the same you have for pages and posts)</li>
<li>Wide text area for an enhanced editing experience</li>
<li>Compatible with 3rd party TinyMCE customization plugins (TinyMCE Advanced, WP Edit, …)</li>
<li>Support for distraction-free (fullscreen) editing mode </li>
<li>Option to “Automatically add paragraphs” to widget text</li>
</ul>
<h4>About the plugin</h4>
<p>The story of the plugin was featured in a talk at WordCamp Europe 2018 in Belgrade.<br />
