Another Go-To Plugin

  • Hi Pieter & Greg,

    Firstly thanks for creating this plugin – it will save me a great deal of WP 5.0 hassle.

    I’ve just installed it on all of my sites where I don’t already use a 3rd party page builder.

    The only (very minor) improvement I’d like to see is this…

    – If you add/install/activate your plugin without first installing the “Classic Editor” plugin, your plugin provides the “Install Now” link – which is excellent. However, once it has installed/activated “Classic Editor” via this link, it does not refresh the list of plugins – hence it does not look as though “Classic Editor” has been installed & activated. You have to then refresh the plugins page to show it in the list.

    I do appreciate this is a trivial improvement, but nevertheless one which might possibly trip a few people up.

    Is it possible to add such functionality?

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Hi Greg,
    Many thanks or your 5-star review and rating!
    Regarding your suggestion, that is a good idea indeed. I will discuss with @gschoppe whether it is possible to make this enhancement.
    Cheers,
    Pieter

    Hi Greg,
    I have just opened an issue on Github for the enhancement you have suggested. You can follow it there too if you wish: https://github.com/senlin/classic-editor-addon/issues/4
    Of course I will add an update here too when we know more about it.

    Hi Greg, as it turns out it is easier said then done, this is related to the class we use to install the Classic Editor plugin with, so we will need to ask their developer.

    Hi Greg,
    We just released version 2.3.0 which offers a workaround. If you want to know the exact details, then please have a look at the reply from Andy Fragen, the developer of the WP Dependency Installer class we use to install the Classic Editor plugin.
    Doing it this way – auto installing and activating the plugin we depend on – seems to be the best solution and it saves the extra step(s) to install/activate the dependency.
    Hope this works for you.
    Wish you a great weekend!
    Pieter
