Easypeasy to use!
Great plugin and easypeasy to use! Keep on keepin’ on …
As a Plugin Should Be!
Works as expected. Very stable plugin. No annoying reminders. Makes things at classiccarsszone more structured. Superb.
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.
Paste As Plain Text By Default Reviews
Perfect!
Exactly what I needed. Easy install and setup. It allowed me to have plain text paste by default so my client won’t get messy code from pasting pre-formatted content. Especially from vendor’s PDF file
Absolutely great
Absolutely great plugin. Started using it the other day, will install it on all my Divi sites. Very simple, very effective. I always use plain text for pasting, and having to click the plain text icon
Excellent and much needed!
I had to do so much clean up after my writers pasting gmail and word docs. This is a great find! thanks for making it!
