Best TinyMCE addon
by audioscavenger·2 years ago
This plugin has only 1 competitor: “Advanced editor tools” by Automattic. I mention it because I tested both. Atomattic’s only adds the table and top menu capabilities, while Advanced Classic Editor also add icons, buttons, alerts, and other bootstrap related stuff to make your life easier.
Also I just reported an error with font-awesome, which analyzed by plugin author, fixed and released within hours by plugin author = KUDOS to him!
Thanks to this plugin, I could get rid of three others which only added bootstrap shortcodes and tables. I cannot thank this author enough. This is real good and brings TinyMCE back to life again.
It surely can be expanded with more bootstrap stuff like other premium plugins, but that’s the cost of free stuff and I’m willing to keep it that way.
WARNING!!! Terrible, sneaky and shady!
by bosslady11·4 years ago·2 replies
I download this app because it stated it was compatible with my WordPress. However, as soon as I did I received a warning error message on the banner area of my website that stated, “Warning: Illegal string offset ‘fontawesome’ in /home/……. My website was working fine until I downloaded this app. I immediately deactivated it on my plugins page of my WordPress. But, when I attempted to delete it, it didn’t delete. The same happened to my 2nd website site too. It got to the point that my hosting company had to manually help me remove it from the cPanel.
What irritated me the most, it is listed as a different name (best-editor ) on my cPanel so it was hard to find at first. Mind you, it is listed as “WordPress Editor” on the WordPress plugins and my WordPress plugin page. Why would they have it listed with two different names? I seriously believe they are being shady (trying to hide their identity to make it hard for people to remove their plugin from the cPanel). I noticed that all my other plugins are listed the same name on my WordPress plugin page and cPanel. This plugin was the only one disguising their name. My hosting company advised me to report them.I would have rated this plugin a zero if I could.`
