As a Plugin Should Be!

Works as expected. Very stable plugin. No annoying reminders. Makes things at classiccarsszone more structured. Superb.

by Sirio

Good but…

It’s a very good ans simple visual editor, too bad that is missing the possibility to add an image swap (rollover, mouseover). You can just add friezed images.

Not working any longer

I’m sad to report that activating this plugin now blocks content from appearing in the TinyMCE classic editor.

Works Perfectly!

I’m using ACF plugin and was struggling to update the TinyMCE style on my WordPress site until I came across this plugin. It’s a fantastic tool that makes the process so much simpler and faster.
