Overview

The "Classic Editor +" plugin is designed for WordPress users who prefer the traditional post-editing experience over the newer WP Block Editor (Gutenberg) introduced in WordPress 5.0. By installing this plugin, users can maintain the familiar user interface and avoid any additional styling complexity on the front end of their site. It effectively disables the Block Editor for both pages and widgets, and also strips out block-related CSS from WooCommerce if it's installed. With no settings to configure, "Classic Editor +" is straightforward and seamless, ensuring a consistent user experience. The plugin is GDPR-compliant, not collecting any user data, and its support is managed exclusively through Github for any inquiries or feature requests. Created by Pieter Bos and Greg Schoppe, the plugin offers a user-focused solution for those who favor simplicity and consistency in their WordPress editing experience.

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.

Just fantastic for those who hate the new Gutenberg UI.
