never showed up. shows installed, but nothing. checked settings. Even deleted and reinstalled. was wanting to see if it did is a BUILDER ONLY for new pages and ones you build only.... or can edit a current theme as well. from what i saw, is a builder, not true editor that can edit current ALREADY created site pages. I reinstalled. got it to work. It did work ok at basic editing on clean page, within its own page box, but not on frontend or pages, but is much better than i had first thought

I had downloaded this plugin sometime ago, then after upgrading to WordPress 5 I wasn't sure if it would still work, but after updating to the latest version I'm happy to see that it works great.

This plug makes it easy to format text. There is a learning curve, but it is well worth the effort.
