How to Turn Off the WYSIWYG Editor in WordPress

1. Log in to your WordPress installation admin dashboard. To do this, you will need administrator privileges for that particular installation.
2. Click on 'Users' in the left menu of your dashboard.

3. Click on 'Your Profile' in the sub-menu, which is now open under 'Users.'
4. Click on the first check box, next to 'Disables the visual editor when writing.' Your WordPress installation will now let you use a simple HTML editor.
