Overview
The plugin enhances the functionality of the standard WordPress Text widget by incorporating a rich text editor, allowing users to edit content using the familiar WordPress visual editor. This approach, leveraging the WP core function `wp_editor()`, ensures a streamlined and efficient editing process without the need to create a custom post type for each widget. Although the plugin is no longer actively developed, it remains functional and provides a straightforward solution for users who prefer a visual editing interface. It supports multiple languages, including English, Swedish, German, and Danish, and users are encouraged to contribute to its development or report issues on GitHub.

There is one bad review that I think is based on a mis-understanding. This plugin creates a new TYPE of widget – Rich Text, which features your current rich text editor. You can create as many different widgets as you want with this new template type. This plugin is absolutely perfect for what it does.

After using the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget for years I started looking for a similar one that would not have the same conflicts with other plugins.
I installed “WP edit widget” and it had no conflicts, worked out of the box and the widget content was not gone after deactiving the plugin ( something that frustrated me in Black Studio TinyMCE Widget.)
I had almost immediate respons to my support question, so I will start using this exellent plugin and hope the developer will update it as soon as it would start behaving badly in time.
Thanks!

I used it to add client instructions to an admin page. This makes adding screenshots and video quite easy.
