Gutenberg sucks.

This plugin is excellent, lightweight and allows you to restore the awesome Classic Editor.
Kudos to Developer.
WordPress (Automattic) why push so hard for the Block Editor, even here?

I appreciate innovations in general, but I’m not a fan of the block editor. So, it’s great that the Classic editor is still an option. Thanks for keeping it available and continuing to develop it!

I had serious issues editing a few pages. Somehow the Gutenberg block editor got stuck on and you couldn’t switch it back to classic. I added plugins to fix it such as “Enable Classic Editor” by Ayon GK, “Disable Gutenberg” by WebDevStudios and a few others. I had so many plugins deactivated and nothing was working even with this “Classic Editor Plus”. Those didn’t fix anything. “Classic Editor Plus” must be used solo to work or so it seems. After all plugins were deactivated. I only activated “Classic Editor Plus” and Wa-La, it was fixed and that damn nasty block was gone. How to remove the block option is another issue but I won’t touch it. Call me old fashioned but I know my way around classic. Thanks guys.

Upon updating to this new version, today, the tweet urls are being removed in the editor’s pane, as alien script. This is a major malfunction which makes the update useless to me.

Gutenberg is a battle. It fights back. It won’t let me do things I was always used to doing. I could publish in Classic, but my theme had a nasty habit of pushing Gutenberg back on me for edits after a piece was published. This seems to prevent that. Thank you!

I want to say thank you so much for creating this plugin. I actually felt like I was loosing my motivation creating new post because of this new classic editor that had taken over my pages and post after updating to the new WordPress 5.0. It was fancy and complicated and wasn’t allowing me to apply my custom affiliate links which was very discouraging. I’m now motivated to start working on my first new article for 2019 my heart is smiling and I’m overjoyed.
Thank You A Million

The “Classic Editor” is a nice try, but it kind-a squeezes the “old” editor into the Gutenberg view. Not only that, it doesn’t even respect the CSS that I used in the “old” editor.
This magnificent addon does exactly what is missing! The old editor is back the way it actually used to be!
Thanks guys for creating this addon – I’m not a Gutenberg fan, and am not looking forward to “fixing” what wasn’t broken to begin with. You guys saved me a lot of work!!
I highly recommend this addon for the “Classic Editor” if you want to really see the old editor.

Thanks for this added security against Gutenberg!
Everything that can be done to protect our websites from Gutenberg as it is right now must be done! ??

Then I stopped and asked myself, “I cannot be the only one who despises the new editor!”
I actually spent several days to look at switching to a new CMS…
Thank You! It does work perfectly for my needs…

Great plugin – disables completely the new block-editor. Perfect for keeping the user-interface clean and easy.

Avoids accidental activation of Gutenberg, which is just what I wanted.

It still needs the classic plug-in and hide 1 option. But still it do not hide the useless “Classic Editor” text from posts and pages. That should have been taken care of at the very first place. So this 2 starts is what I can afford for you guys.

Hi Pieter & Greg,
Firstly thanks for creating this plugin – it will save me a great deal of WP 5.0 hassle.
I’ve just installed it on all of my sites where I don’t already use a 3rd party page builder.
The only (very minor) improvement I’d like to see is this…
– If you add/install/activate your plugin without first installing the “Classic Editor” plugin, your plugin provides the “Install Now” link – which is excellent. However, once it has installed/activated “Classic Editor” via this link, it does not refresh the list of plugins – hence it does not look as though “Classic Editor” has been installed & activated. You have to then refresh the plugins page to show it in the list.
I do appreciate this is a trivial improvement, but nevertheless one which might possibly trip a few people up.
Is it possible to add such functionality?
Thanks,
Greg

I’m excited I found this. I’m a new user to WordPress, and have learned a little bit more code in the week I’ve been using it (I knew some HTML from working on random websites when I was younger).
My first experience with Gutenberg was terrible. Very slow content writing (10 seconds for one character), Code option hidden, clunky blocks (cool that they can move around, but even that is a little buggy), content disappearing randomly while editing, constant auto-saves which bogged down the already snail-paced speed of writing. I liked how another reviewer of Gutenberg put it: we don’t know what we want to do with our post. Gutenberg knows, though. “Apparently”.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this plugin. I don’t want to have to go through a headache once Gutenberg becomes fully active. At first, I had hopes that it was worse and that over the time it’s been worked on, it’s gotten better … but I don’t see that as being the case. It seems people still find it just as hard to work with as when it first came out…
I thought Gutenberg was supposed to appeal to new users like me? Hmm… Maybe not. But I’ll tell you what, if it was the first editor I saw when signing up, I would’ve jettisoned out of there to a competitor. Thank goodness for the Classic editor.

Thanks for this – very much appreciated.
I added this to all my clients’ sites yesterday after one of them responded to the 4.9.8. Gutenberg nag and found themselves completely bamboozled by what confronted them.
They are safely back on the Classic Editor now and I’ve added this Addon to all my clients’ sites to avoid them facing the same problem.

Yesterday I sent out to all my clients a warning “Do not try use Gutenberg!” but it was too late ?? One of the clients replied that he had already installed Gutenberg and published one article. It was terrible, he said. Today I installed your plugin on 15 client sites and updated the WordPress. Everything went good, everything works. Great job, guys!

Nothing else to say. It will greatly help the non-passage to Gutenberg.

What Automattic going to do is a deliberate act of prevarication. I don’t think I can stand it. I love the plugin if it can save us from Gutenberg, but I am afraid it won’t.
The “classic editor plugin” is going to be like the South African Apartheid, or the Indian Reservations for the Native American Tribes. I don’t think free people should accept it.

A must have if using the Classic Editor plugin. Together with this addon a perfect solution now. Thanks a lot.
