Codeally Simplified Editor for TinyMCE

v1.2.2 · by Bjarne Oldrup

Simplifies TinyMCE to help creators focus on writing, while maintaining clean HTML and web accessibility.

About this plugin

Codeally Simplified Editor for TinyMCE refines the WordPress rich-text editor into a cleaner, focused editing environment. By restricting the toolbar to core formatting – bold, italics, strikethrough, lists, links, undo/redo, and clear formatting – it creates an intuitive experience for day-to-day content creators.

This setup removes visual clutter and prevents accidental styling issues while preserving helpful copy-paste markup. Core inline elements (bold text, italics, links, lists, and images) survive pastes intact, while background colors, custom fonts, inline CSS, and heading tags are cleanly stripped.

Key Highlights

  • Focused Writing UI: Provides essential inline styling options without toolbar clutter.
  • Filtered Copy-Paste: Preserves basic markup (<strong>, <em>, <a>, <ul>, <ol>, <li>, <img>).
  • WCAG Heading Protection: Strips pasted <h1>–<h6> elements to prevent broken heading outlines.
  • Optional Media Support: Accommodates standard <img> tags for compatibility with existing content.
  • Zero Configuration: Works automatically across all TinyMCE instances in the WordPress admin.
