How to disable the visual editor in WordPress

February 19th, 2009

Ever get tired of having to select the HTML tab when you are creating a new post in WordPress? The solution is simple, disable the Visual Editor. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Log into your WordPress Admin
2. Click on USERS
3. Click on YOUR PROFILE from the Users sub-menu
4. On the Profile page, simply click the check box next to Visual Editor [ ] Disable the visual editor when writing.

Save it the settings and you are done. FYI – I’ve only tested this in WordPress 2.7.1, not sure if it works the same way in older builds.
