Gutenberg is messing up my old Classic Editor pages

Hi johnny,
I’m in Holland, and we have the Klassieke editor Plugin, it’s spelled in dutch
When you use this plugin, WordPress works like it always did.
I Tested Gutenberg, and just had problems with Learndash and Optimizepress. When i implement content in these programs i use the Classic…Klassieke editor.

I hope it’s working for you

@johnnyivan If you’re experiencing issues you may find some help in the Classic Editor plugin, but what kind of issues are you experiencing? By default, existing content won’t be modified, so it hsould continue working like before.

@paulrdom Just letting your know I edited your post, as we do not allow the sharing of contact inforamtion here on the forums (please see our Support Guidelines for further details).

Thanks Paul and Marius.

I reverted back to the Classic Editor. Trouble is, I don’t have the advantages of the new one.

What happens is that old posts all get lumped into one block and i can’t even edit the HTML behind them.
I also find weird code appearing in the visual editor, like for the image captions.

One thing I hate about the new editor, despite its advantages is that there’s no ‘most used tags’ facility. That was a real time & labour saver.

Just revisiting a page on one of my sites today so I can edit it.

In Gutenberg, it’s a mess in the editor. None of the images display. And on the live site, one of them is actually missing.

I’m afraid that my whole website has been wrecked by Gutenberg. Christ.

Can you please explain how the “whole website” is wrecked? Maybe someone can help.

Hi There,
Because the pages were impossible to edit and I couldn’t tell which images were which—or if they were even truly there or not.

I uninstalled Gutenberg and I think everything will be OK as long as I stick to the Classic Editor. I think. I hope.

When I started using Gutenberg a couple of weeks ago I was getting quite enthusiastic about it—despite many serious usability problems—now, I hope to God I never have to go back to using it.

Try this; get free localhost from “flywheel” to do all testing/tryout before applying the practices to the live host work. This is what I have been doing since Sept and it works great. I haven’t experienced any of the Gutenberg issues I see here every day.

Thanks for the tip. Sounds complicated, but maybe I’ll give it a go ??
