Installation

  1. Upload directory disable-visual-editor-wysiwyg to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

How to disable/enable wysiwyg editor for page/post?

Go to admin section where you add/edit new page/post and you will see small panel on the right called “Visual Editor” with a checkbox saying “Disable”. When you thick it and update the post, you will no longer be able to edit the page/post until you unthick and update the page/post.

Reduces so much pain

I've added this to my list of "Essential Plugins". Doesn't need to be by default, but it makes it wonderful for having multiple admins coordinating pages and making sure people know when they can/shouldn't rely on the WYSIWYG editor.
