Overview
This plugin will disable the visual editor for selected page(s)/post(s)/custom post types. The idea behind this came after i had to keep the html intact by the tinymce editor whenever i switched back to Visual tab in the editor.

Working Fine on WordPress 5.2.1

Installed and working as expected on WordPress 5.2.1 using Twenty Fourteen Theme 07.06.2019
Reduces so much pain

I’ve added this to my list of “Essential Plugins”. Doesn’t need to be by default, but it makes it wonderful for having multiple admins coordinating pages and making sure people know when they can/shouldn’t rely on the WYSIWYG editor.
A life saver!

It does exactly what it says. I have to add HTML code to certain pages, and this plugin stops the visual editor from royally messing them up. It’s a life saver!
Yes! Чудово!
