Markdown Editor (Formerly Dark Mode)

Another case of someone buying an abandoned plugin to take advantage of its large userbase and completely repurposing it for a quick and easy profit. Stay away!

Another hijacked plugin

The plugin is advertised on wp.org as having a markdown editor -in fact, the entire description on wp.org talks about that specific feature-, but that's only available as a paid feature. 

Seriously, I regret not reading the other reviews that said as much but this plugin is obnoxious. 

Bait and Switch

Not the same plugin as in screenshoots.


I needed a plugin that supports Markdown in the editor. This seems to have a number of different features, but the only one that I can't use without upgrading is the title Markdown feature. Bait and switch. 


Doesn't have the title feature


I believe this plugin is in violation of the WordPress terms. You can't access its main feature "markdown editor" without paying. The free version only has a dark mode/light mode toggle.


Plugin doesn't deliver markdown

Quickly edit content in your WordPress site by getting an immersive, peaceful and natural writing experience with the coolest editor.
