As a Blogger and WordPress template developer, many bloggers ask for my recommendations on WordPress plugins. One of the repeated questions from the CoreNetworkZ readers (after the introduction of Gutenberg Editor by WordPress) is about a replacement for WordPress Block Editor.
Many WordPress bloggers feel the Block Editor (Gutenberg) is confusing, and they ask me to suggest another editor. I recommended the WordPress Classic Editor Plugin, but some are not happy.
Gutenberg Editor is also called Block Editor.
So, I asked them this question. How about using a standalone editor to write a new post on your blog?
A Standalone Editor To Replace WordPress Block Editor
I am a big fan of Gutenberg Editor, but I know many WordPress users are struggling to understand it.
Many CoreNetworkZ readers commented about the difficulties in creating Blocks for even a simple post.
Are you facing the same problem? Then, I recommend a standalone Editor to create and publish posts on your WordPress blog.
The question in your mind might be about which Standalone Editor can replace the WordPress Gutenberg Editor.
A few readers say WordPress Gutenberg Editor is complex.
I suggest a browser-based Post Editor for your WordPress blog to replace the default Block Editor.
A Browser-Based Blog Editor For WordPress Blogs
ScribeFire offers a browser extension, which lets users write new blog posts using the browser itself without using the default text editor provided by your CMS platform.
You do not worry about the limited facilities you are getting while using the default editor. This new add-on is rich with new features and helps you improve the quality of your publishing articles. This new editor is fully featured with image uploading, YouTube video integration, etc.
If you use the ScribeFire editor for the first time, you should set up this tool for your blog account. Right now, it supports the following platforms.
1. WordPress.com
2. LiveJournal
3. Xanga
4. Windows Live Spaces
5. Performancing
6. Jeeran
7. Tumblr
8. MySpace
9. b2Evolution
10. Splinde
11. Drupal
12. Blogger
After configuring ScribeFire with your blog, you can start to write and publish posts using this editor. You will find it helpful and can skip the Gutenberg Editor.
You can edit and publish articles on other blogging platforms with the same editor. Now, let us check the installation process of this new tool.
How To Download Browser Standalone Blog Post Editor?
You can download ScribeFire for Google Chrome by visiting this link.
Mozilla Firefox no longer supports the ScribeFire add-on for some reason. I used to download the ScribeFire add-on on the Firefox browser by visiting this link.

DeleteThank you Alex. I also hate this wordpress block editor. I write simple poems and do not need any blocks to look like an international magazine.
ReplyDeleteI don't hate the WordPress Block Editor Aneesh. But, yes, many users want an alternative simple editor.
