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.

Overview

About this plugin

We frequently prefer to use the visual editor to quickly draft new posts, and then polish the markup in the HTML editor before publishing. We’ve wasted hours cleaning up existing content that was mangled because someone switched over to the visual editor.

We wanted to make sure that existing content would be safe from mangling, but we still wanted the convenience of the visual editor.

This plugin automatically blocks the visual editor – on a per-post basis – only when the post is published.

This plugin does not rely on, or override, per-user settings. This plugin does not rely on per-post settings. This automated strategy works well for us – give it a try!
