Let the developers retain control

  • Very sad piece of software. Sure there is a plugin to disable but I’m sure that won’t be an option for long.
    This is sad but like most tech companies with their altruistic monologues, they turn out to be the most greedy and power hungry companies there are. This is the first step in pushing out thousands of small web design companies by locking down the once open source WordPress.
    I would be fine if they charged $25 to $50 per download of WordPress instead of slowly locking it down into a Weebly model.
    I hope I’m wrong but if you follow the greed and hunger of power in tech companies I think this is the direction they’re going.

  • There is indeed a plugin that will let you opt out. It’s called Classic Editor and you should be able to find it by searching for it on the Plugins page in your dashboard.

    There’s no intent to lock down WordPress. I’m sorry you think this about the project.

    @jersey-peeps, what can you say about the compatibility of Classicpress with plugins and themes, which were developed for WordPress?

    @jersey-peeps I’ve archived your reply. Here’s why: these are WordPress support forums. They’re not forums for some other fork.

    If you want to use a fork, please do.

    If you want to protest and recommend that, please do not.

    I’ve flagged your account for that and I am closing this review. This site is not anyone’s blog and you can blog on your own site if you choose.
