Best Editor WordPress Plugins

25 plugins · 27.5M combined installs · 4.6/5 avg rating

WordPress editor plugins modify, replace, or enhance the content editing experience within the WordPress admin. Some restore the classic TinyMCE editor for users who prefer a familiar word-processor interface, while others extend the block editor with typography controls, code syntax highlighting, distraction-free writing modes, or advanced paste handling. Writers, developers, and content managers choose editor plugins based on their workflow — whether they need a Markdown-first environment, a collaborative editing surface, or simply a cleaner interface for long-form publishing. The right editor plugin can significantly reduce the friction between writing and publishing on WordPress.
