Editors and Rumors

    Will everyone have no other choice than to use the block editor one day or will we continue to have the option of clicking the tab that says classic editor if we prefer? This is getting very confusing and many people are posting so many things about what WordPress is doing. Please clarify!

    Hi @imagesbytdashfield, the classic editor will not be available forever. Here’s why:

    – The WordPress community decided to create the new editor to add some in-demand features.

    – Maintaining two different editors, and ensuring they work together with themes, plugins, and with each other, is highly difficult.

    So while I can’t say when the “classic” option will go away, it’s likely not going to be around forever.

    Given that, if you’ll let us know what specific issues you’re running into with the block editor, or what is it you dislike, we can pass along that feedback. I would love to see the block editor become a comfortable user experience for you.
