Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Classic Editor + version 4.4.5 as active, updated 10d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Overview

About this plugin

>

GDPR-compliant: does not collect any user data

0. Install it now on sites and the UX remains the same as you are used to without redundant styling being added to the frontend of your site!

What’s New:

Several fixes that remove scripts/styles from frontend

This plugin simply disables the WP Block Editor, removes any and all styling from both front- and backend and disables the block editor for widgets too.

And if WooCommerce and/or WPML are installed on the site, “Classic Editor +” removes the block styles of those plugins too.

There are no Settings, it simply does what it says on the label.

Therefore I highly recommend installing this “Classic Editor +” plugin.

I support this plugin exclusively through Github. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue here. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

If you like the “Classic Editor +” plugin, please consider leaving a review. Thanks!
