  • It doesn't work

    It doesn't work in 6.9 with Gutenberg editor. The settings don't affect anything.

  • It just works!

    I have installed it in two WordPress multisites and activated it on both. My WP versions are the latest stable ones : 6.7.2. I use "Disable Gutenberg", as I am still unable to write a pages or a post using this method. (Nooo way !!!)And this Justify and Underline feature for the editor works just fine! Many thanks!

  • Thanks to help fight back the absurdity!

    Thanks for helping the community to stay safe from the silly decisions of the dictators who provide us this great tool which ins WordPress. It would be great that for each silly decision someone would come out with a way to block it.

  • It was stupid of WordPress to remove them in the first place.

    I can't fathom the idiocy and broken logic that led to wordpress removing these buttons in the first place. The justifications posted by Andrew Ozz were nonsensical at best and showed his indifference to the average user and designers. Thank you for making this plugin. Please don't use it to hack my sites.
