I used this one once upon a time and thought i give it a try although it hasnt been
updated since 3 years. I did not test security issues with it, but it still just
works (do not use it together with Yoast SEO, it adds its own editor there) 1 Star
minus for not maintainig 1 Plus for making long lasting software 😉

I’m using this plugin for 2 years now and it never breaks. The plugin works with
categories, tags and custom taxonomies, including media support!
