Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Formatting Extender

No. Your theme or another plugin must provide those styles in both the editor and on the frontend. Built-in badges and highlights include their own styles.

Your theme or an integration plugin can supply categorized class names through the formatting_extender_css_classes PHP filter. Formatting Extender does not scan your stylesheets automatically. See the developer documentation for an example.

Yes. Select text, or place the caret inside an existing custom-class span, then open CSS classes to inspect, edit, or clear it. Choose Block to edit the selected block's custom-class field. Mixed text selections replace only their custom classes; links and other formatting stay intact. Clearing block classes clears that block's complete custom-class field.

Yes. Apply the format, then open Badge appearance or Highlight appearance in the block toolbar. Choose theme colors or custom colors, preview the result, and apply or reset. Badge presets offer Neutral, Info, Success, and Warning colors. Check contrast in your theme when leaving a color unset.

The controls are designed for the WordPress Block Editor. They are not added to the Classic Editor or a page builder's separate editing interface. Saved formatting can still display wherever the resulting WordPress content is rendered.

The plugin loads its controls and shared styles in the Block Editor, including the Site Editor. Available formatting depends on the selected block and its editing permissions. It does not unlock restricted blocks.

Your text and saved classes remain. The plugin's default badge and highlight stylesheet stops loading. Explicit inline colors remain in saved content, and custom classes continue to use whatever CSS your theme provides.

No. Formatting Extender is free and open source. No account, license key, or external service is required.
