# Problems with WordPress 5.3

 * I’m having issues using this plugin with WP5.3 (and 5.2 before that, I think).
 * The issues are:
    1. the clears are no longer indicated visually in the admin 
   area when using the blocks editor. 2. button title is missing when using the 
   block editor. 3. when using the classic editor with WP’s classic editor plugin,
   the first two issues were gone but the br tag seemed to be replaced with other
   tags in the admin (I don’t think I tried saving the result, but I’m pretty certain
   I saw it being replaced with an extra body tag and later with a textarea).
 * I tried removing and reinstalling the plugin, but it didn’t help.
 * [@tyrannous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyrannous/), could you please
   check if the plugin needs fixing?

 * By the way, I’d like to also suggest a new feature for this plugin: please add
   a “Clear Floats” [block type](https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/tutorials/block-tutorial/writing-your-first-block-type/)
   in addition to the TinyMCE button. I don’t think a plugin that does that already
   exists, but it’s obviously the same functionality, so having it as part of this
   plugin would make perfect sense.

 * Hi [@erku](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erku/),
 * unfortunately, the plugin is currently not compatible with WordPress 5.* (see
   the `Tested up to` field in plugin header). That’s why the you are experiencing
   the mentioned issues.
 * Of course I want to make it compatible with WordPress 5.* but I currently have
   absolutely not ETA.
 * Regarding adding the feature as a Gutenberg block: I don’t see any sense in this,
   as the plugin is only useful in the legacy TinyMCE editor and not in the block
   editor.

 * [@tyrannous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyrannous/) my reason for the
   Gutenberg block was that I tried placing several “Classic HTML” blocks one after
   another, and to my surprise, they didn’t clear floats. Because of that I think
   it does make sense to introduce a clearing element as a type of block.

 * This sounds more like a Gutenberg issue to me. Have you tested it with the latest
   version of the [Gutenberg plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/)? 
   If the problem persists, search in the [issues](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue)
   or create a new one.
