## Description

A simple and nice plugin to hide classic editor or gutenberg from pre selected page
templates. If the installation is okay, go to the settings > hide editor. If your
current theme has pre-made page templates, you can select page templates where you
want to remove/hide editor. You can also restrict the hiding to specific user roles,
so other roles still see the editor. It’s very easy to do.

## Installation

Installation is fairly straight forward. Install it from the WordPress plugin repository.

## FAQ

Q: Can I hide the editor only for certain user roles?
 A: Yes. On the Hide Editor
settings page, use the “Restrict to User Roles” field to select which roles the 
editor should be hidden for. Leave it empty to hide the editor for everyone, as 
before.

## Changelog

#### 1.1.0

 * Add: restrict editor hiding to selected user roles, leave empty to apply to everyone.
 * Fix: settings page assets could be queued with an unchecked `$_GET['page']` value.
 * Fix: script cache-busting used `time()`, forcing a fresh download of plugin JS
   on every page load.
 * Fix: removed the discouraged `load_plugin_textdomain()` call and the `Domain 
   Path` header pointing at a nonexistent `languages/` folder – WordPress.org has
   auto-loaded plugin translations since 4.6.
 * Fix: post ID from the URL is now read with `absint()` instead of a `sanitize_text_field()`/`
   esc_html()` combination meant for output escaping, not input handling.
 * Fix: text domain didn’t match the plugin slug (`hide_editor` vs `hide-editor-
   for-page-templates`), and two strings were printed with `_e()` instead of an 
   escaping variant.
 * Housekeeping: plugin options are now removed on uninstall.
