Complete mess

  • *Maybe* in the future, this might be workable, if it’s vastly improved. But as it is, it’s a complete mess.

    It is complete havoc on existing content, doesn’t work with the themes & plugins installed on existing sites, and completely confuses all clients.

    Plenty of us already solved the issues that Gutenberg is trying to solve using plugins that we’ve been using for years. Plugins that have far better block systems, many more block types, and are actually production ready.

  • @anphira I’ve been trying out gutenberg at various stages during development, I would point out that it’s in Beta so is not production ready yet.

    Considering the negative reviews, I’m just wondering if my experience is an outlier; I’ve found it to work fine with existing content, theme and plugins that I’m using for production sites. Our production theme is very customised too. Only a few niggles, most of everything worked straight out the box – what parts did you have trouble with that gave you such a bad experience?

    Cheers

    Anphira, a new technology will not support all the older things, if you are not ready to make compatible your old stuff don’t use it. Gutenberg is an awesome thing I found. It has issue for sure but I guess it needs to know magic to solve your problems.

    Hiya,

    Sorry to hear you didn’t like Gutenberg, I would like to dig a bit deeper here, to see if we can find some progression at the root of your concerns.

    You mention that it does not work with your themes or plugins, would you be able to tell us which themes and plugins ,and in what way tey do not work when using Gutenberg?

    I’d also like to know how it is modifying your existing content. As it stands, Gutenberg should not be touching your old content at all, unless you convert it to blocks.
