It just works!
by sokol07·1 month ago
I have no idea why is this plugin even needed: text justification should be as basic functionality as any text alignment.
However, it’s not. For some reason we needed this hero who created this super simple plugin which saves us from having only left-aligned texts on our websites.
I have no idea what can I say more: the plugin requires two clicks to work: one on “install” button and the second on “enable” button. And that’s all. It just works perfectly.
Thank you!
Brilliantly simple

This plugin does exactly what it promises, it restores the justify option to paragraph blocks inside the WordPress editor with no extra settings needed. It just works.
And it’s one of the lightest plugins I have seen in a long time.
We should have been given the choice on WordPress natively, and now, we do. And beautifully so, with a dedicated icon on the toolbar that even changes its styling when it has been applied.
Brilliant work.
Thank you for creating this!
