It also adds divs to valid tags so they won’t be deleted if empty. Originally by [Miguel Ibero](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-clear-buttons/). ## Screenshots * [[ * Plugin in action ## Installation 1. Download. 2. Unzip. 3. Upload to the plugins directory (wp-content/plugins). 4. Activate the plugin. ## FAQ ### Why do you need to clear the floats? Well, sometimes you want to add two floating images but don’t want them to overlap. Or you want to add an image floated to the left and text on the right, and then add a new block. You can add a clear in the middle to achieve the desired effect. ### Where do I get support? Ask your question in the [Support Forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/clear-floats-button).

Finally I found it by chance. I am totally happy with it. It helps so much organizing and designing longer texts with pictues. It should be included in TinyMCE.
