Overview

Advanced Editor Tools, formerly known as TinyMCE Advanced, is a WordPress plugin that offers an enhanced editing experience by introducing a "Classic Paragraph" block for the Gutenberg block editor. This plugin is ideal for users who are not ready to fully transition to the block editor or need to use plugins that are not yet compatible with it. It integrates the familiar TinyMCE editor, allowing users to manage most editing tasks while still benefiting from Gutenberg's new features. Advanced Editor Tools includes various customization options such as an improved "Clear Formatting" button, advanced table settings, and tools for importing and exporting settings. It is fully compatible with the Classic Editor plugin, enabling side-by-side use of both editors. Users can add, remove, and arrange toolbar buttons, configure multiple rows of buttons, and utilize 15 TinyMCE plugins. Additional features include the ability to set default blocks, convert between classic and default blocks, create and edit tables, enhanced list insertion options, search and replace functionality, and customizable font settings. Importantly, Advanced Editor Tools does not collect user data or affect user privacy, making it a secure and user-friendly enhancement for WordPress sites.

User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate the plugin for enhancing the text-editing capabilities of WordPress, especially by adding useful features that make it easier to format content. They find it straightforward, boosting work efficiency with intuitive tools and options. However, several drawbacks were noted: compatibility issues with the latest WordPress updates and other plugins, particularly WooCommerce and Visual Composer, leading to functionality disruptions. Some users also experienced minor annoyances such as the absence of a "Paste from Word" button and inadequate handling of HTML tags. Despite these issues, many still find the plugin indispensable for text formatting, table creation, and overall editing, wishing for more frequent updates and improved compatibility.

So far, so good. I’ve un-Gutenberged the site with Classic Editor +, and have had no problems. I needed a way to quickly and easily highlight text in a couple of different colors, and this plugin had just the button I needed.

FAQ

I see an error like: “Failed to load plugin from url…”

Tables look different (inline styles are missing) when I insert a table

No styles are imported in the Formats sub-menu

I have just installed this plugin, but it does not do anything

When I add “Smilies”, they do not show in the editor

The plugin does not add any buttons

I still see the “old” buttons in the editor

How do I set the Classic Paragraph block as the default block?

Can I use this plugin with the Classic Editor plugin?

Does Advanced Editor Tools collect any user data?
