Description

This simple plugin adds useful buttons to the native WordPress HTML editor (Classic Editor).

Currently adds:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, span, hr, nbsp, mox

The “mox” button adds a nice responsive CSS class which you can use to highlight pictures or other elements in your posts.

Note: This plugin works only with the Classic Editor. It does not support the new Gutenberg (Block Editor).

Compatibility

  • Requires the Classic Editor to be active.
  • Designed specifically for the HTML mode of the editor.

Installation

  1. Unzip into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. If you’re uploading it, make sure to upload the top-level folder. Don’t just upload all the PHP files and put them in /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Ensure the Classic Editor is active if you want to use the enhanced Quicktags buttons.
