The Gutenberg Editor is Here – And the Classic Editor Can Stay Too!

And you’re saying, NO S*** Sherlock, you’re a bit too late lady! Yeah, yeah, I know – but, the Holidays happened, and I was SWAMPED! So I’m doing this NOW. It’s never too late!

So, the Gutenberg editor is here and I said I would test Gutenberg out and write up a tutorial, back on this post. And I did, however, a few items MAY have changed since I wrote it. If you are willing to give Gutenberg a try, this tutorial will help, just some items might not match exactly because as I was writing the tutorial the creators were adding and changing and updating, I couldn’t keep up. But you’ll get the gist.

A NOTE: As I was testing Gutenberg and writing the tutorial, I did end up “liking” it, I can see the HUGE potential. However, as of right now, I’m still using the Classic Editor and will maybe give Gutenberg my full attention at a later time.

The New WordPress Gutenberg Editor – A Beginners Tutorial & Guide

The Classic Editor

Now, if you DO NOT want to learn or have anything to do with the Gutenberg editor, no problem, I had those same sentiments before I started testing it and writing the tutorial. You can KEEP the Classic editor and keep using it like Gutenberg doesn’t exist. Here’s how:

1. Go to: Plugins/Add New
2. Search for Classic Editor by WordPress Contributors
3. Click Install Now
4. Click Activate

And that is it! You will now be able to continue to use the Classic Editor as you have been.
