    Rather silly question but I wanted to know what happens when uninstalling your plugin.
    The reason I ask is to clean up the wordpress database and files.
    I am working off a local host and am concerned of the effect it would have regards to links and div id's your amazing plugin created during the use of it.
    Thanking you in advance & thanks for a great and useful plugin.

    When the plugin is unistalled all the widgets data remain into the database, so if you re-install it at a later time all the widgets will be there.
    If you want to completely remove plugin’s data, run the following query on your database:
    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%black-studio-tinymce'
    (change wp_options to the relevant table name if you are using a table prefix other than wp_).

    By the way, if you need to move a WP instance from a local host to a production server, or in general if you need to change the URL of a WP site, I’d recommend to use the DB search&replace tool, which handles correctly the serialized fields. Otherwise, if you perform a normal search & replace, data contained within serialized fields (as the ones saved by this plugin) may become corrupted.
