How To Get Back Classic Editor In
Do you want to disable the block editor and keep the classic WordPress editor on your #WordPress website?
A lot of users find it hard to adjust to and would prefer to keep the classic editor.
What is Gutenberg?
Gutenberg is the developmental name for the block editor in WordPress. The block editor was created with the goal to modernize the WordPress writing experience.
It attempts to work like a page builder plugin and allows you to drag and drop items into a post or page. The goal is to offer more flexibility and enable WordPress users to create unique layouts for their content with rich multimedia content.
Since the release of WordPress 5.0, the block editor is now the default editor in WordPress.
Why Disable the Gutenberg Editor in WordPress?
Many users who have been using WordPress for years are more comfortable with the classic editor.
Also, since the block editor is relatively new, some plugins are still not compatible with it.
Thankfully, there’s a plugin by the WordPress core team which allows you to use the classic editor even on WordPress 5.0 or later.
Let’s take a look at how to easily disable Gutenberg and keep using the classic WordPress editor.
Method 1. Disable Gutenberg with the Classic Editor Plugin
For this method, we will be using the Classic Editor plugin which is developed and maintained by the core WordPress contributors.
