Classic Text Widget
v1.0.1 · by Victor Font
The classic pre-WordPress version 4.8 text widget
About this plugin
Brings back the classic WordPress text widget without TinyMCE. This is based on the code from WordPress Ver. 4.7.5
Functionality is exactly the same as the pre-version 4.8 text widget. Additional default functionality includes shortcode execution and custom class filter.
Note: This widget uses PHP namespaces to prevent conflicts with other widgets of a similar nature. PHP namespaces are only supported in PHP Version 5.3.0 and higher. If your site uses a PHP version earlier than 5.3.0, do not install this widget unless your PHP version is upgraded first.
