More About TinyMCE

Before the Block Editor, WordPress provided a default Classic Editor, which was a TinyMCE editor. Creators can style and format content with a toolbar using this browser-based WYSIWYG software.

You can undo or redo text, clear formatting, add special characters, edit anchors, and more. This simple editor is similar to using a word processor. TinyMCE also enables you to use keyboard shortcuts to copy, paste, select all, bold, underline, etc.

Although WordPress has a new default editor, you can revert to TinyMCE by downloading the Advanced Editor Tools plugin. The Classic Editor plugin can also enable you to switch between the two different editors.
