How to bring back the classic editor in WordPress?
Many of us are stuck with Gutenberg... Right.
Not easy to handle, not at all.
So... how can you reverse that?
Very easy:
1. Install and activate the classic editor plugin
Go to your wordpress dashboard plugins (1) >add new (2) >classic editor (3)
Install and activate (4)
2. Set your classic editor
Go to your wordpress dashboard settings (1) >Writing (2) >classic editor(3) ... and SAVE
This should bring back your classic editor.
Good luck!
Thank you for liking, comments and sharing
PS
Know you can switch back to gutenberg in settings>writings > and flag block editor instead of classic editor ( and SAVE) . That simple!

Blocked in the block editor so to say!

Thanks for the information!!! I kind of figured out how to use the new block scheme, but it does not flow as easy as the classic editor (at least for me) and I have experienced some bugs while I was trying to edit one of my posts.
But it will be good to have the classic editor back!
Thanks again Fleeky!!!
Yes you can always switch back to Gutenberg in wordpress dashboard settings>writings > set block editor
We all have to adapt to an ever changing world in order to survive. The way we handle those changes are as diverse as there are people. We all have to find what works for each of us and if that means using a plugin to get us to our comfort level then so be it. Great Post Fleeky
Yes... comfort zone is needed some time

Thank you Fleeky for sharing the information with us because I made the mistake of updating to 5.0 and I didn't want that so now with this information I was able to go back to the classic editor.

Hi, Fleeky thank you for letting me know this information and I am happy to hear that Carson is going to fix it.

wow this Gutenburg doesn't look to be popular around here! Thanks for the super clear instructions! Marc
I wonder if I won't be biased against it since it's been a long time since I've used the Wordpress Editor, classic or otherwise....
Yes... takes time to learn new things... and wIth many posts and end of year there is often not enough time for most of us.
Best is to try it , nevertheless
You can reverse to new, by going to settings, and set block editor
I just want to encourage people to at least try the new format. There is plenty of information out there on Gutenberg if you're stuck. So far, I've only done one post on Gutenberg, but I'm pleased at how it turned out. Took me a little longer but that was okay. I think I will like it.
Great advice...
I have both Working, and often it is a matter of time...
Just reverse and set back to block editor in settings
