Classic Editor vs Consistency – Typography Corrector for Gutenberg

Classic Editor is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous (“classic”) WordPress editor and the “Edit Post” screen. It makes it possible to use plugins that extend that screen, add old-style meta boxes, or otherwise depend on the previous editor. Classic Editor is an official WordPress plugin, and will be fully supported and maintained until 2024, or as long as is necessary. At a glance, this plugin adds the following: Administrators can select the default editor for all users. Administrators can allow users to change their default editor. When allowed, the users can choose which editor to use for each post. Each post opens in the last editor used regardless of who edited it last. This is important for maintaining a consistent experience when editing content. In addition, the Classic Editor plugin includes several filters that let other plugins control the settings, and the editor choice per post and per post type. By default, this plugin hides all functionality available in the new block editor (“Gutenberg”).

Have you seen the typographic corrector in your word processor that formats what you type in real time? Well, it’s the same idea but with Gutenberg. This WordPress plugin ensures consistent typography and punctuation on your site. Corrections are applied automatically both during text entry and when pasting text. All users can choose to enable or disable corrections, but only administrators can configure the correction rules. Autocorrect is available for pages, posts, and custom post types (if they are configured to use the Rest API). The available automatic corrections are listed on the plugin repository on github and are categorized as follows: Apostrophes, Quotation Marks, Dashes, Suffixes, Spaces, Case, Ellipsis, Symbols. Pressing Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z immediately after a correction disables the correction for the next keystroke. Technical Informations Data Storage: Rules are saved in the wp_options table, while active/inactive states are saved as user meta data. This data is deleted when the plugin is uninstalled. Settings Location: Settings are directly in a plugin sidebar under the Block Editor: no more searching for an options page, always available and discreet. Supported Locales: The locales supported by this plugin are: fr_FR, fr_BE, en_US, en_AU, en_CA, en_NZ, en_ZA, en_GB, de_DE, de_AT, de_CH, ro_RO If your locale is not supported by Consistency but you still want to access all available rules, you can disable the localization of rules via a filter. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file: add_filter( 'Consistency\only_show_locale_correction_rules', '__return_false' ); All correction rules will then appear, with automatic management of rule incompatibilities (if rule A is enabled and it is incompatible with rule B, rule B will be grayed out).
