Works, but has annoying unrelated upsell

Nice simple plugin that works well. Unfortunately it includes an upsell notice unrelated to the plugin on each admin screen.

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.
