# Classic Editor Plugin not working – Plugin Dependency

 * I created a page in visual mode and when I viewed what I created, it was a mess.
   I checked in text mode and there’s a ton of code that doesn’t normally appear.
   When I check the plugin area of my site, under Classic Editor it says “Plugin
   Dependency”.
 * Also there is no “deactivate” or “activate” there.
 * I wonder if it has to do with the latest wordpress update to 5.0.3?
 * The same thing is happening on another site I have.
 * Something’s wrong and I need to work on the site and can’t. Please help.

 * Doesn’t anyone support this plugin and answer questions here?
 * I’d like to know why I get the “Plugin Dependency” message instead of “deactivate”
   or “activate” under the plugin name.

 * Have you also installed the plugin “Classic Editor Addon”? If yes, try to deactivate
   that. Then you should be able to make settings for “Classic Editor”.
