Not selecting Gutenberg or Classic Editor?

    Currently when you do a new install of WP you are presented with the option to install Gutenberg or the Classic Editor. But there appears to be a third option, aka do nothing. I am therefore still using the standard WP editor as before so why is the classic editor needed to be installed? There are plugins that extend the existing WP Editor, e.g. TinyMCE advanced.

    Or is the current WP editor being removed totally from WPv5 so you ‘have to’ install one or the other?

    As many have said the editors of choice need to be optional. Your site, so you choose.

  • The classic editor is the default editor until your site is updated to WordPress version 5.0. Then the Gutenberg editor will become the default editor (in core, not as a plugin – though ‘Gutenberg’ will still exist as a plugin for development purposes).

    If you want to continue using the classic editor as your default editor after 5.0, you can install the classic editor plugin – you don’t have to do it before 5.0 lands.
