Classic Editor and Classic Widgets PRO

Classic screens for posts and widgets

Classic Editor and Classic Widgets PRO works alongside the free Classic Editor and Classic Widgets extension. The free extension hides Gutenberg block editor functionality and enables the WordPress Classic Editor for posts, including TinyMCE, meta boxes, and custom fields. It also enables Classic Widgets under Appearance > Widgets and Appearance > Customize > Widgets.

The free add-on applies its classic editing behavior after activation without extra configuration. Its listed compatibility includes Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), WooCommerce, WPML, and Polylang.

Editor choices for roles and custom post types

PRO includes controls for choosing which editor is available to selected visitor roles or custom post types. These options let administrators set editing arrangements for different visitor groups and content areas.

• Choose an editor for selected user roles.
• Set editor choices for custom post types.
• Remember the last editor used.
• Display post states in the editing process.
• Exclude selected posts or pages using autocomplete.

Install PRO beside the free plugin

Install and activate the free Classic Editor and Classic Widgets plugin first. Then install and activate Classic Editor and Classic Widgets PRO alongside it. Adding PRO does not require reinstalling or deactivating the free plugin.

The classic widget screens remain available in the WordPress widget areas listed above. The product information also includes premium support.
