Deactivating to use Blocks

  • Hi,
    I’m working on a site that uses this plugin, but we need to start converting pages to using Blocks.
    What is the best way to do this and not lose any formatting that was added by Advanced Editor Tools?

    Can I safely (no formatting lost) deactivate it and add the Classic Editor? (I understand that I would have all the features of the Advanced Editor)

    Or should I just uncheck one of the Advanced Editor Tools settings?

    What is the best method to use to start using Blocks?

    Thank you!

    Advanced Editor Tools works well together with the Classic Editor plugin, it extends the old (classic) editor. Deactivating Advanced Editor Tools will remove the extra buttons from the old editor toolbar, but the posts HTML that has already been saved will not change.

    need to start converting pages to using Blocks

    Install the Classic Editor plugin (if not already installed), then set it to allow users to change editors, then just open the posts in the block editor and select “Convert to blocks”. You can always edit with the classic editor later and restore the post to a previous revision to revert the conversion.

    When posts are converted some of the HTML will change, and the styling/looks on the front-end will change too but it should be (mostly) for the better. You may need to adjust some of the theme’s CSS or try a new theme to see the full advantages.

    Thank you, Andrew!
    I did figure that out; it works great with both plugins!
