It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/remove-problematic-formatting-options- from-tinymce.svg) # Remove Problematic Formatting Options From tinyMCE By [Kim](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pixelovely/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/remove-problematic-formatting-options-from-tinymce.1.0.6.zip) * [Details](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-problematic-formatting-options-from-tinymce/#description) * [Reviews](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-problematic-formatting-options-from-tinymce/#reviews) * [Installation](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-problematic-formatting-options-from-tinymce/#installation) * [Development](https://tah.wordpress.org/plugins/remove-problematic-formatting-options-from-tinymce/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/remove-problematic-formatting-options-from-tinymce/) ## Description Removes those extra-tempting but extra-problematic buttons from tinyMCE, like font color, alignment, and other things that will wreck your style sheet. In addition, it removes « Heading 1 » from the role dropdown, as there should never be more than one H1 on a page — and the page or post title is already it. #### Why Does Formatting Matter? When people first get their hands on that shiny WordPress text editor, they often get swept up in the excitement of styling their text. « This is important, so I’ll make it red! And this part will be centered, and this part will use giant letters!» But as fun as this is, there’s a way to use the WordPress text composer like a pro, and the benefits of doing it in that way are big: * **Better potential rankings** on search engines (Search Engine Optimization) * A consistent look across your whole website and other materials (research shows that visual consistency leads to **trust**) * Better **flexibility** across different devices, from desktops to mobile phones * Better **accessibility** for readers with a wide range of disabilities. * Better **maintainability** when it comes to future site updates — that means savings! * What’s the secret sauce that provides all these benefits? **Mark your text with what it is, not what it should look like**. #### What does that mean? It means that your website already has a style guide built into it, so that it knows that a subtitle looks a certain way — perhaps it is larger, bold, or a different color than the main text. **So when you type in a subtitle, you only need to let WordPress know that it’s a subtitle, and the rest will be taken care of. Do not give in to the temptation** to mark the subtitle text as bold, larger, centered or a different color from the WordPress editor. This plugin removes the most damaging buttons from the WordPress editor, so you ( or your clients) won’t be tempted to use them.
