How to Set HTML Editor as the Default Editor in WordPress

Those of you who are tech savvy may don’t like to work in the visual editor. Those who know coding can write their stuff directly in HTML editor.

Plus its well known fact that WYSIWYG editors can produce bad and sometimes unuseful code. The more the clutter, the more loading time.

To set the HTML editor as default in WordPress, just enter the below code in your functions.php

add_filter(‘wp_default_editor’, create_function(”, ‘return “html”;’));

Now whenever you write a new post, by default, HTML editor will be displayed. Say bye bye to Visual editor.
