Just Writing

Note: Just Writing now has beta support WordPress 4.1, please see further down this page for more details.

Distraction Free Writing (DFW) Mode is a great way to focus on writing text, but have you ever found yourself wanting to do a bit more with it? How about spell check, or change the paragraph style without dropping back to the standard post edit mode? Now you can get all the functionality of the standard mode tools in DFW!

But maybe you think there are too many buttons in DFW, no problem you can get rid of pretty much all of them!

Just Writing takes DFW from a great way to write to a great way of writing posts!

WordPress 4.1+ Support

DFW in WP4.1 is a completely different than previous versions and Just Writing takes a completely different approach to it. Instead of adding buttons and features to WordPress’s built in DFW, Just Writing adds a new “Writing” mode to WordPress.

“Writing” mode closely matches the old DFW from previous version of WordPress but has all the features of Just Writing.

There are a few differences however:

* Switching between the edit page and writing mode, unlike the old DFW, requires a full page load. * There are a few hard coded pieces around, so there may be some weird effects with non-english languages. * Support for full meta data editing inside of Writing mode. * Closing and re-arranging postboxes in the meta area are not saved between sessions.
