    Hi!

    I am a newbie using WP 5.1.1 w/ the Twenty Nineteen theme.

    So far, I have only used the new Block Editor (Gutenberg) and I would like to try using the Classic Editor, which I assume is like other editors that I am familiar with (e.g, MS Word).

    To use the Classic Editor, do I need a Plugin? Can I go back and forth?

    Thank you!

    Dr. T

    Hello doctortr,

    Yes, it can be done with the help of the plugin.

    When you activate this plugin it will hide all the features related to Gutenberg.

    When you wish to enable Gutenberg, deactivate this plugin.

    Thanks.

    Hi @kartiks16,

    Just install the Classic Editor plugin and activate it to use.

    Yes, you can go back and forth in two ways. You can either deactivate Classic Editor plugin to move back to block editor.

    Or in the settings of Classic Editor plugin, you can allow options to switch editors. In that case, on a post, you can scroll down to find the option to switch to block editor on the right side. And on Block editor, you can go to the options on the top right corner to switch back to Classic Editor.
