Problems with new editor: Classic content shifted andn "more" tag at wrong pos.
-
Hi,
since the forced upgrade to the new “Gutenberg” editor I’m having serious issues with my blog.
I just published my first article with it and as a consequence, all of the old “classic”-editor content is shifted downwarts in it’s display, see this screenshot: https://ibb.co/T8Txw9k
Another problem is the “more” tag, which I cannot place exactly at the end of my text as I did before (and can be seen in the screenshot above) but now appears at a strange place down there; see: https://ibb.co/BPhSkt5
Hope you can help me with these issues, but the easiest way would be to just switch back to the old editor since the new one seems to me not ready for productive use yet and has some serious flaws while not bringing any practical advantages to everyday use. Since I’m using WordPress Premium I think cannot install any plugins, so it would be nice to have that option to switch back as a paying user as well.
Kind regards

Hi there,
I just published my first article with it and as a consequence, all of the old “classic”-editor content is shifted downwarts in it’s display, see this screenshot:
Hmm, making a post in Gutenberg shouldn’t have affected your older content. This does seem to be an issue with some posts, but not others. For example:
VIII. Parteitag der PCC wählt kommenden April neuen Generalsekretär
You know your site well – would you know what’s different between the posts that are shifted and the ones that aren’t?
Also, for what it’s worth this seems to be something between your theme and the way those affected posts are set up with the image aligned like that.
Regarding the more link, while I wouldn’t call that a bug, the ability to add a more-link inline with the previous text does sound like it would be a nice feature. I’ll file a request for that.

Hi. First: thanks for the feature request! Please let me know where I can follow that issue since it’s quite important for me.
About the shifting: It seems to happen only with articles after 6th of February, but there is nothing special I changed with the layout. When I delete the first “gutenberg”-article, however, everything shifts back to normal. Is there a way to fix it?
It would be awesome if I could also simply change back to the classical editor without using plugins (which I can’t as a “only” Premium user).
Best

Another thing: With Gutenberg, I don’t see a way to put small images (sometimes with description, sometimes borderless) to the top left, integrated within the text like in that article you showed.
Update: I tried to convert the article (https://cubaheute.de/2021/03/10/regierung-diskutiert-wirtschaftsthemen/) to Gutenberg — now the shifting seems to be better but still the text begin isn’t inline with image height and I have to deal with the awkward beginning of the “more” tag just above the category section and not withing the text, so still an issue for me. For the difference, see: https://ibb.co/mGFrnhy
Another issue: I’ve been using the “Navy blue” color a lot for marking elements in the text. With the classical editor, it’s palette is also gone. Now I need to enter the Hex-Code (000080) manually each time I want to use that color. It would be better to have the old palette at hands or the new editor saving custom color tags by the user.

For an example of the borderless use, see: https://cubaheute.de/reiseinfos-links/
There is no way I can edit / recreate this page now with Gutenberg. -
You’ll start by inserting the image with an image block: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/
Where you can then resize it: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/#resize-images
And, align it as desired: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/image-block/#align-images

Hi, thanks! But how can I make it border / frameless and define distance (in px) to the text (left, right) like I used to with the old editor? Can’t find that options.
-
Update: I found a solution that works for the “more” tag in my case: I can add it manually when editing the first block in HTML and put <!–more–> simply before </p>. Still, it’s a unecessary hazzle with each new article and I would love as a paying customer to just keep using the classic editor (which, by the way, has not only more functionality but also better performance) like the “business” users can when using plug-ins. It can’t be that hard put a simple toggle in the preferences menu, or? That would be the easiest solution.
The other problem with the text beginning not aligned with the image (like in this case: https://cubaheute.de/2021/03/10/regierung-diskutiert-wirtschaftsthemen/) and frame/ borderless images I still don’t know how to resolve.

Hi there,

In this case because your theme (Twenty Eleven) was released before we had a block editor, it can sometimes have a small compatibility issue like this. You can add the following custom CSS to your site to put the image and text on the same line for that post and other posts like it.
.wp-block-image { margin-bottom:0; }Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
