V7 Legacy Editor Enabler
Beschrijving
The V7 Legacy Editor Enabler plugin provides fine-grained control over the WordPress editor experience. Since WordPress 5.0, Gutenberg (Block Editor) became the default editor, but many users prefer the familiar legacy TinyMCE editor interface. This plugin allows you to disable Gutenberg and enable the Legacy Editor selectively for different post types.
Why Choose V7 Legacy Editor Enabler?
V7 Legacy Editor Enabler gives you granular control:
* Choose Legacy Editor for Posts only, or Pages only, or both
* Automatic redirect to settings page after activation for instant configuration
* Per-post-type control – Perfect for mixed workflows
* Clean, professional code built with WordPress security standards
* Zero external dependencies – Lightweight and fast
