About

SO WP started in 2006 as Senlin Online and at that time we were focused on website projects.

Over the years we gained more experience with WordPress and rolled into giving technical support next (re)building websites. Now all those activities are done through our sister company BHI Localization for Websites.

Something else that happened was that we started to develop plugins for WordPress and as we thought that they could be useful for others too, we released them on the official WordPress Plugins Directory.

The SO WP website has now become a library of all the WordPress plugins we have developed, both current releases and plugins that we have retired from WordPress, but that still exist on Github.

Classic Editor Addon

Classic Editor +

Released on: July 3, 2018

Stable version: WordPress Plugins Directory; Source/Fork: Github; Support: Github issues.

This free “Classic Editor Addon” plugin makes sure that Gutenberg cannot be activated accidentally.

GDPR-compliant: does not collect any user data

The free Classic Editor Addon plugin is targeted at everyone who is not yet ready for Gutenberg and/or who does not want to bother clients with Gutenberg. Install it now on sites and by the time WP 5.0 is released, the UX remains the same as you are used to!

The reason we released the “Classic Editor Addon” plugin is because in the beginning the “Classic Editor” plugin did not what it said on the label.

Since version 0.0.4 of the “Classic Editor” plugin, it finally set the default setting to actually using the Classic Editor. It still contains a Settings page though and if the purpose of people is to get the Classic Editor instead of using Gutenberg, then we don’t see the need for such a Settings page.

Also, if we look at developers protecting the sites of their clients with the Classic Editor, they certainly don’t want their clients to accidentally turn off the Classic Editor as Gutenberg adds a lot of undesirable comments, tags and what not to the content.

Therefore we highly recommend installing this “Classic Editor Addon” plugin, which will auto-install the “Classic Editor” plugin. It removes the Settings link from the main Plugins page and removes the plugin’s Settings from the Settings > Writing screen.
