Overview

Works well with the Classic Editor plugin, Advanced Custom Fields (Free & Pro) and is also compatible with the Gutenberg’s “Classic” bloc.

In WordPress 4.7, the core developper team decided to make various changes in the editor (TinyMce WYSIWYG), including removing the underline and justify buttons and rearranging some of the toolbar buttons.

It doesn’t work
by frkotou·3 months ago·1 reply

It doesn’t work in 6.9 with Gutenberg editor. The settings don’t affect anything.

by meylodie·1 year ago

I have installed it in two WordPress multisites and activated it on both. My WP versions are the latest stable ones : 6.7.2.
I use “Disable Gutenberg”, as I am still unable to write a pages or a post using this method. (Nooo way !!!)
And this Justify and Underline feature for the editor works just fine!
Many thanks!

Thanks to help fight back the absurdity!
by Torgut·8 years ago

Thanks for helping the community to stay safe from the silly decisions of the dictators who provide us this great tool which ins WordPress. It would be great that for each silly decision someone would come out with a way to block it.
