TinyMCE Custom Styles

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’m sad to report that activating this plugin now blocks content from appearing in the TinyMCE classic editor.

   I’m using ACF plugin and was struggling to update the TinyMCE style on my WordPress site until I came across this plugin. It’s a fantastic tool that makes the process so much simpler and faster.

   Styles were never called. But I am changing the review to 5 stars because the author helped me to go thru the problems until they were solved. This topic was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by HairyPotter.

   It was not playing nice with another plugin, but after a few tweaks I found the conflict and this is very nice coding. Thank you!

   The amount of hours I’ve wasted trying to apply styling to the editor is sickening. This plugin provides a very clean and convenient way to tackle this. THANK YOU! DEVELOPER: PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON THIS PROJECT! As it hasn’t been updated for a very long time, I really hope it doesn’t lose support. We all really appreciate the work you code wizards do!
