Choose Editors by Role with Classic Editor and Classic Widgets PRO

Classic editing for posts and widgets

Classic Editor and Classic Widgets PRO works alongside the free Classic Editor and Classic Widgets add-on. The free add-on 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 plugin supports Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and is compatible with WooCommerce, WPML, and Polylang.

Set editor choices for roles and content types

PRO includes controls for websites where various user roles or custom post types need different editor settings. Administrators can select which editor is available to selected roles or content types. The added controls also cover:

• Remembering the last editor a user used.
• Displaying post states in the editing process.
• Excluding selected posts or pages with autocomplete.

This setup lets a website use classic editing for posts and widgets while tailoring editor choices to its customers and content areas.

Add PRO alongside 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. Premium support is included.
