Go check your pages after disabling…

    Disabled the plugin, and reloaded some pages posts the images in article were not wrapping correctly with the text. It was 100% due to this plugin since I did a restore and tested one-by-one. With the plugin disabled, resaving each article fixed the problem. However,I don’t want to spend 3 hours resaving all my articles, so I guess I’m stuck with this plugin for now. Problem resolves on reactivation..

    The “just-disable-it-if-you-don’t-like-it” advice doesn’t exactly work. I would go back and check your pages afterwards, because things look normal otherwise and you may not be able to tell right away.

    Gutenberg is part of core wordpress so if you disable the Gutenberg plugin your site will still be using the Gutenberg Editor. The plugin just gives you the newest features of what’s coming into core WordPress. Hope that makes sense ??

    Yes, that’s what I read, which inspired me to delete it. However, in my experience, after disabling the plugin, the text of some pages got messed up (first image in post no longer text-wrapping.) I could fix it by manually editing the posts, but I don’t have time/interest to do that.

    Edit: I contacted support on my site. They looked into it for an hour but couldn’t figure out why the layout was messed up after disabling and deleting Gutenberg. Posts look perfect in editor. I have to go back and manually resave all the posts, without changing anything, to get the text to wrap properly on in-body images.

    I disabled all other plugins, even previewed another theme. wouldn’t go away.

    I would stay away from this plugin.

    I can definitely see that needing to save your posts one at a time would be frustrating! As was mentioned above the Gutenberg plugin will give you access to new features and improvements on a regular basis. Sometimes those changes may be problematic for content that was created using features not yet present in WordPress core.

    Was there any particular problem that you encountered while using the Gutenberg plugin that caused you to wish to remove it?
