    My group is about to ditch wordpress entirely. Can we revert to the classic editor on the’persona’ plan?

    I still have a self-hosted site and it’s great. But these block need to be disabled.

    Please, how tell to do it in the personal plan? I don’t want to pay for an upgrade only to see that it does not work for us.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I have been able to do it block by block or page, etc. I need it site wide. People who will contribute to the site will NOT use the block editor.

    This guide explains how to use the Classic Editor. If you are using the default WordPress editor, also known as the block editor, please see this guide. ⚠️ While the Classic Editor is still available, it is not recommended to use. You can use the block editor to create media-rich, mobile responsive, and unique websites that the modern internet user expects to see. For help transitioni

    Please note that we’re following the direction of what the WordPress open-source project is moving towards. The open-source project is what works on the actual WordPress software. The Block editor (also known as “Gutenberg”) is their first step in modernizing WordPress. Here’s a quote from their FAQ:

    https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/handbook/faq/

    Since the development of the WordPress software is moving in this direction, when new versions of the software are released, we update the software here at WordPress.com.

    We also understand that people still use the Classic Editor, which is why it’s still available here (it’s not in the WordPress software). Eventually, newer versions of WordPress won’t be compatible with the legacy Classic Editor, and that’s why we’re encouraging everyone to use the new Block editor which has a Classic block that will give you most of the same functionality that the Classic Editor has:

    My group has already moved to another web builder platform. I think I’d prefer coding to the Block editor. I understand why it was tried out by the WP folks.
