Very nice! Thank you!!
If you’re using the Visual editor (as on the screenshot), WordPress has a built-in distraction-free, full screen editor functionality. It’s the blue screen icon, second from the right on the first line.
Yes you’re right@KostasNi It can help you to get away with the distractions.
Hey you have misspelled the plugin name. It’s ‘Writescreen’ not ‘Whitescreen’!
