## Description

This plugin disables the visual editor drastically at any user login state. But 
if a user checks the box to enable visual editor, in the Profile page, the setting
will be saved so they may edit with Visual Editor yet, will always return to disabled
when they log back in. This is done for version 0.2.0 and higher as an experiment
to see how well users can accept the fact that visual Editor is a dangerous thing
in the hands of non-experienced HTML writers.

## Installation

 1. Download the zipped file.
 2. Upload the file to your `/wp-contents/plugins/` directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

Q.: I see a dropdown for users but it does not work
 A.: the dropdown is for Administrators
only. You must set each Admin one by one if you want each admin to have access to
the visual editor.

  Can I add features?

Yes, please contribute and fork from Github or ask on WordPress plugin page for 
support. This is Open Source.

  What is the “hidden editor bar?”

WordPress removed a lot of components from the latest versions to make way for more
room on the page. Older versions of MVEd would open up these hidden elements to 
use, which will show just below the two active menu bars of the Visual Editor.

Font Family, Font Sizes, Formats (dropdown), Background Color (Hightlighter), New
Document
 Cut, Copy, Special Characters, Horizontal Line

There are a few more that are commented out in the mved-modify-media-buttons file.
After version 0.2.0 we discontinued these to streamline the plugin.
