Does it work with Gutenberg Block Editor?
The plugin has no effect on the Gutenberg Block Editor but there are no known conflicts either. So if you use a page builder like Divi Builder on your pages and Gutenberg on your posts, you will have plain text by default on your pages but not on your posts.
We have no plans to add support for the Gutenberg Block Editor. Look out for a possible native feature for paste as plain text in Gutenberg on Github.
Do I have to install the Classic Editor plugin?
No, it will work with Divi Visual Builder, Elementor, Beaver Builder and WPBakery without using the Classic Editor plugin.
Could you add support for more page builders / editors?
We have no plans to add support for Gutenberg but we could add support for other WordPress page builders and editors in the future.
