• Hi

    I’ve added Gutenberg, but deleted it again because there were too many problems.
    Then I tried it out again, because apparantly there was no way avoiding Gutenberg in the long run. But after 1? week I have experienced following issues:

    1) When I write a post for my blog and preview I discover that some blocks are simply missing the last sentences or words. Sometimes I loose them in the draft too, other times I see them in the draft, but they do not appear in the preview OR when I publish (because I wanted to see if it was just a preview glitch)

    2) I have also experienced correcting some of the things in nr 1, only to find that when I THINK I’m done and ready to publish, something else has disappeared. It almost takes longer to doublecheck Gutenbergs shortcomings than writing the post itself – and it’s not that I write short posts.

    3) Most recently I started and finished a page and did the doublechecking that was needed with Gutenberg. Then it seemed fine. Later I checked the page on the live site, because I wanted to add links and the first couple of blocks/paragraphs were missing from the live site. Like just gone! They were there in the draft/editing area, but even if I pressed update etc it would not display the page from the beginning. Then I tried deleting a photo, incase it was a size thing. That took away a little more text on the live site AND changed the layout of the text entirely. Suddenly what was black and normal size in draft/edit, was reddish and medium size on live site.

    Nr. 3 I solved by changing to Classic editing, which means cancelling Gutenberg.

    I’m not completely letting Gutenberg go, but so far Gutenberg is seriously not improving my working experience or making my work easier or more efficient – quite the contrary.

    I have no idea whether there a little box that needs ticking to make it work right, which is why this is posted here, rather than in the reviews.
    So if anything like that can be done to prevent the issues – I’m all ears. I do see the potentials in Gutenberg, which is why these relatively simple things glitching is so frustrating.
