Remove rel = “noopener into new widget editor WordPress 4.8

This conversion is a security concern (where the linked domain might be able to reach data in the browser that should only be available to the referring site). This security fix that was recently added to the editor TinyMCE, which, from WordPress 4.8 also is used for text widgets.
If you want to have full control over your text widgets with no automatic cleaning of tags, etc, then you may be helped by the following plugin:

It’s simply the previous text plugin, now repackaged as a plugin.

Hi Tor, thanks for reply
i have installed this plugin but not working on my wp
any suggestion?

I have only read about it but not used it myself (at least – yet). Check the instructions in the readme carefully. You may need to migrate some data, and for sure you’ll have to place these “classic text” widgets where you want them to be. The plugin doesn’t replace the “new glossy text widget”…

Hi Tor, I did all tests with this plugin but does not work.
There is a script code to disable the text editor in widgets? I’ve searched in google but not find it

I don’t know. Perhaps somebody else may chime in.

Thanks for the invite Tor, yes I chime in: I too, and everyone else who can think clearly, do NOT WANT behind the scenes changes done to what I, as site owner (hello!) write and post to MY site.
Isn’t that obvious?

That tiny mce “security concern” hasn’t been thought through before it got implemented – as is so typical with wp programmers.

Let the SITE OWNER decide which links (valuable LINKS, dammit!) shall get what tags!
Example for WHY?
Sure.
– It makes no sense whatsoever to change the site owners’ widget links, because ONLY the site owner knows the reason for the link!

– Eg we have thousands of internal links (NO change needed ever “for security reasons” tsss)
– and hundreds of external links to OUR other sites, scientific media sites, etc etc, and again NONE are a “security risk” ever!
– even links to Amazon are NO “security risk” ever!

Thus this whole fruitless “discussion”(?? No, it was dictatorship!) is a waste of time:
Those (few) site owners who put up EXTERNAL links to QUESTIONABLE sites because these few don’t know and don’t care what they link to(!), are you serving THOSE??

Or is WP serving the MILLIONS of site ONWERS(!) that know EXACTLY the kind of sites they link to?!

Get that, it’s really easy to grasp, and makes a huge difference when you THINK before you program. ??

I trust a handful of wp programmers/dictators will be sent past this post and breathe it.
Thanks.
