Overview
This WordPress plugin is designed to help site editors create semantic content and maintain consistent formatting across the site by simplifying the block editor. By removing less frequently used blocks, styles, and settings, it allows editors to focus on content creation without being overwhelmed by options. Targeted at client sites, the plugin emphasizes a streamlined editorial experience, hiding features like certain core and Jetpack blocks, complex text styles, and default color settings while promoting the use of the Media Library for images. Enhancements like highlighting contrast errors and simplifying the "Save draft" button further improve usability. Ideal for editors who appreciate minimalism, this plugin is thoroughly discussed in the creator's "A WordPress Formatting Manifesto." Developers can also customize the hidden features via provided filters. The plugin ensures compatibility with the latest WordPress versions and invites contributions on GitHub.
