I did installed the plugin but the elementor was not working. Classic editor is still the default editor

I haven't updated this in a while, so be on the look out for issues. Or, you can download a zip of this plugin <https://github.com/heyfletch/make-elementor-default-editor> and install like a normal plugin. I think it is more recently updated. — You are receiving this because you commented.

Likewise, I tried the plugin and script and neither worked for me. The default editor remained the same.

The plugin worked like a charm. I was a little lazy today so I just downloaded the zip, uploaded to Wordpress by dashboard and activated it after installation. Worked superb. Thanks dude!

Is it still working?
I need something to make new pages created by "WP ALL IMPORT" to created with Elementor active,
the import is working but I need to active Elementor for each page manually
