Overview
This WordPress plugin is designed to disable the Gutenberg Block Editor and the Full Site Editing (FSE) Global Styles introduced in WordPress 5.x and 5.9, respectively. Many users prefer to stick with the Classic Editor either for compatibility reasons with existing plugins and content or due to personal preference. By simply installing and activating this plugin, users can completely remove the Gutenberg Block Editor and FSE Global Styles from their WordPress installation. Additionally, it suppresses the WP 4.9.8 “Try Gutenberg” callout Dashboard widget, allowing for a smoother experience with the Classic Editor. No complex configurations are needed—just install, activate, and enjoy a Gutenberg-free WordPress. The plugin requires WordPress version 4.9 or higher and PHP 5.6 or greater.

Gracias Fernando por esta iniciativa, la verdad uso otro plugin para esta funcionalidad, pero otro más siempre es útil.
Espero que un dia abandonen la idea de que un editor de bloques es una buena idea …
BRAVO !!!

I’ve never had any problems with this plugin. I loved the other one with the same name but when it did not work for me once, I started working with this one and it’s pretty cool. Love it big time.
