Can I toggle from the Classic Editor to Gutenberg and back?

    I have a WordPress site that I created some years ago, using the Classic Editor. As it looks a little dated, I’d like to start refreshing some of the pages, using Gutenberg in future. But while I do that, I will need to keep the older format content pages going – and continue to up-date them.

    I know that when creating new ages I am offered the option to switch to Gutenberg with just two clicks. But what this doesn’t tell me is whether that will just apply to the new pages I create; and whether I can later revert to the Classic afterwards, to continue editing with it.

    I’m guessing that I can – but there’s too big a risk of mangling my existing pages to rely on guesses.

    So: can I toggle between one editor and another?

    Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the Business plan.

    As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
